Tagln2 is a direct downstream target of klf6a.(A) and (B) SiKLF6 in HUVECs efficiently decrease TAGLN2 expression at the mRNA (KLF6: P = 0.0009, TAGLN2: P = 0.0352) and protein (KLF6: P < 0.0001, TAGLN2: P < 0.0001) levels. Student’s unpaired two-tailed t test. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001. (C) WISH of the tagln2 gene of sibling and klf6a-/- zebrafish at 36 hpf. Arrowheads indicate the CVP region expressing tagln2. (D) Structure of the tagln2 promoter. The primer tagln2-F1+R1 contains the conserved Klf6a binding side-CACCC, whereas tagln2-F2+R2 is a negative control located in the tagln2 exon 1. (E) ChIP-PCR of the tagln2 promoter shows that Klf6a can bind directly to the tagln2 promoter.
