(A) Accumulation of MX2 in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX cells. Intracellular accumulation of MX2 in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX2 was measured according to Materials and Methods. Representative data from three independent experiments. Error bar showed s.d. (B) The efflux of MX2 in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX2. The efflux of MX2 in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX2 cells was measured according to Materials and Methods. Representative data from three independent experiments. Error bar showed s.d. (C) The accumulation of ADM in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX cells. Intracellular accumulation of ADM in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX2 was measured according to Materials and Methods. Representative data from three independent experiments. Error bar showed s.d. (D) The efflux of ADM in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX2. The efflux of ADM in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX2 cells was measured according to Materials and Methods. Representative data from three independent experiments. Error bar showed s.d.

(A) Expression of topoisomerase II
mRNA in K562/P, K562/MX2 and K562/ADM. Human topoisomerase II
mRNA expression in K562/P, K562/ADM and K562/MX2 was measured. Significantly decreased expression of human topoisomerase II
was observed in K562/MX2 cells. In K562/ADM cells, slightly decreased expression of human topoisomerase II
was observed. Representative data from three independent experiments. (B) Expression of topoisomerase II
protein in K562/P, K562/MX2 and K562/ADM: Decreased expression of human topoisomerase II
protein in K562/MX2 was observed. Representative data from three independent experiments.

Topo II-mediated decantenation activity in nuclear extracts from in K562/P, K562/MX2 and K562/ADM cells. Decreased decantenation activity in K562/MX2was observed compared to in K562/P and K562/ADM cells. Representative data from three independent experiments.

Methylation status of promoter region in K562/P and K562/MX2 cells by methylation-specific restriction enzyme analysis with or without 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine treatment. Aberrant methylation of CpG site was observed in K562/MX2 cells at the proximal promoter region (position: -152) by methylation-specific enzyme analysis (arrow head). PCR products in K562/P cells showed arrow. Representative data from five independent experiments.

Topoisomerase II
mRNA expression with 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine treatment in K562/P and K562/MX2 cells. Increased expression of topoisomerase II
RNA in K562/MX2 treated with 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine was observed. However, increased expression in 5AZ treated K562/MX2 cells was not fully restored compared inK562/P cells. Representative data from six independent experiments.
