Supplementary Figure Legends Supplementary Figure S1. Expression of the global neddylation protein, NEDD8activating enzyme E1 and NEDD8-conjugating enzyme E2 in ESCC tissues. A, IB analysis to determine the expression of NEDD8 conjugated protein in ECSS tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Representative results of 4 of 10 pairs of tissues were shown (left panels). Protein expression was quantified and analyzed (right panels) (Error bar = S.D.). B, IHC staining of human ESCC tissue arrays using NAE1, UBA3 and UBC12-specific antibodies. According to the staining intensity of NAE1, UBA3 and UBC12, tumor samples were classified into five groups from the weakest (±, group 1) to the strongest (++++, group 5) according to the description in Figure 1. C, Classification of tumor samples according to the staining intensity of NAE1, UBA3 and UBC12 (n=92). Statistical analyses of staining intensity by Mann-Whitney Test showed that there are significant difference between tumor and their adjunct tissues (P<0.01). D, IB analysis to determine the expression of NAE1, UBA3, and UBC12 in ECSS tissues and adjacent esophageal tissues. Representative results of 4 out of 10 pairs of tissues were shown (upper panel). Quantification of proteins expression in ESCC tissues compared with adjacent esophageal tissues. The results of a total 10 pairs of tissues (tumor vs adjacent normal tissues) were analyzed (lower panel). Horizontal lines indicated means ± standard deviation (Error bar = S.D.). Two-sided t test. A = adjacent normal tissues; T = tumor tissues. Supplementary Figure S2. Expression of death-receptor family and Bcl-2 family 1 members. Kyse450 and EC1 cells were treated with indicated concentration of MLN4924 for 72 hours. Cells were subjected for IB analysis to measure the expression of death-receptor family members (A) and Bcl-2 family members (B) with the indicated antibodies. GAPDH served as a loading control. Supplementary Figure S3. MLN4924 acted on DR5-mediated apoptosis independently of Trail. Kyse450 and EC1 cells were transfected (48 hours) with control or Trail siRNA, treated with 0.6 μM MLN4924 (48 hours). Apoptosis was quantified by Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining analysis (A) or CASP3 activity analysis with FACS (B). Knockdown efficiency and cleaved PARP were assessed by IB analysis (C). All data were representative of at least three independent experiments (Error bar = S.D.). Supplementary Figure S4. MLN4924 inhibited the polyubiquitination modification of ATF4. A, MLN4924 increased the mRNA level of CHOP while little effect on ATF4 mRNA level. Kyse450 and EC1 cells were treated with MLN4924 (0.6 μM) at the indicated time. RNA extracts were prepared, and the mRNA level of ATF4 and CHOP was determined by the qPCR assay. B, MG-132 enhanced the protein stability of ATF4. Kyse450 and EC1 cells were pretreated with MG-132(10 μM) for 6 hours to increase the basal protein level of ATF4. Cells were then washed with PBS to remove residual drug and divided into 2 groups, which were further treated with CHX (50 μg/ml) +DMSO or CHX (50 μg/ml) +MG-132 (10 μM) for indicated times and then 2 collected for IB analysis. C, MLN4924 inhibited the polyubiquitination modification of ATF4. Kyse450 and EC1 cells were pretreated with MG132 and starved for 12 hours, and then cells were treated with MLN4924, along with DMSO control for another 12 hours, followed by serum addition for 2 hours. Cells were extracted and subjected to IP with anti-ATF4 Ab and IB with anti-ubiquitin Ab. Supplementary Figure S5. A, Knockdown efficiency of ATF4. Kyse450 and EC1 cells were transfected with control or ATF4 siRNA for 24 hours and then treated with 0.6 μM MLN4924 for 48 hours. Knockdown efficiency was assessed by qPCR according to Material and Methods. B, Knockdown efficiency of CHOP. Knockdown efficiency of CHOP was evaluated as descripted for ATF4 in panel A. C, Accumulation of ATF4, CHOP, DR5 and Noxa in MLN4924-treated ESCC cell lines. EC109, Kyse30 and Kyse510 cells were treated with MLN4924 for 72 hours and cell lysates were assessed by IB with specific antibodies against ATF4, CHOP, DR5 and Noxa. GAPDH served as a loading control. Supplementary Figure S6. Genetic inactivation of neddylation pathway via NAE1/UBA3 siRNA silencing recapitulates MLN4924-induced cellular responses in ESCC cells. Knockdown of UBA3 and NAE1 impaired the cell viability of Kyse450 and EC1 cells. Cells were transfected with control siRNA, UBA3 or NAE1 siRNA for 96 hours, and then cell viability was assessed with the ATPLite assay (A) and apoptosis was determined by Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining analysis (B), cell 3 morphology were recorded (C), cell lysates were collected and subjected to IB analysis with the indicated antibodies (D). GAPDH served as a loading control. Supplementary Figure S7. No body weight loss occurred during treatment. Body weight of the animals was measured and recorded during the treatment period.
