SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

SUPPLEMENTARY MATHERIALS AND METHODS

Plasmid construction.

The human CREB1 was amplified using F:AGTCGAATTCAATGACCATGG and

R:AGTCCTGCAGTTTCCTCATTT primers, then cloned in frame to EGPF into pME-EGFP (383,

Tol2kit)1 between EcoRI and PstI restriction sites. The p5’-228-pu.1 promoter plasmid was

obtained by excising the 9-kb zebrafish pu.1 promoter sequence from 9-zpu.1-GFP plasmid 2 using

SalI and SacII restriction enzyme (NEB, Ipswich, MA), and by cloning it into p5E MCS (228) 1.

The plasmids were recombinated through LR reaction (Gateway Technology, Invitrogen-Life

Technologies, Monza, Italy) according to manufacturer’s recommendation, using LR plus clonase

enzyme and performing the reaction for 16 h at 25°C. After LR reactions, 2 µl of the sample was

transformed into TOP 10 bacteria (Invitrogen-Life Technologies). Clones were selected on

carbenicillin plates and screened by PCR, miniprep and DNA sequencing. Entry and destination

vectors used from Tol2kit were: 299 (p5E-bactin2), 228 (p5E-MCS), 383 (pME-EGFP), 302 (p3E-

polyA), 394 (pDestTol2pA2)1. Trasposase mRNA synthesis was performed using mMESSAGE

mMACHINE T7/SP6 kit (Ambion, Austin, TX), using pCS-TP plasmid, kindly provided by Dr.

Koichi Kawasakami. Plasmids used for RNA probes synthesis were obtained by PCR fragments

generated from a pool of cDNAs from zebrafish embryos at different stages (at 24 and at 48 hpf)

and cloned into pCRII-TOPO (Invitrogen-Life Technologies). Probes for and jun were designed

from the published NCBI sequence (NM_199987.1) using F:CACCGCTCTCTCCTATCGAC and

R:TGAGGTGCTCAGAAAACAAACA primers. Bcl2 plasmid used to synthesize riboprobes were

kindly provided from Dr. Forrester AM3.

Digoxogenin (DIG)-labelled antisense zebrafish RNA probes were synthesized according to

manufacturers’ instruction. Briefly, plasmids were linearized with NotI or BamHI restriction

enzyme (NEB) and all antisense riboprobes were synthesized using DIG RNA Labeling Kit

(SP6/T7) (Roche Biochemicals (Indianapolis, IN) Roche, luogo). Whole-mount in situ

hybridization (WISH) for mRNA expression was performed as previously published 4. Briefly,

embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and the DIG probes were detected using anti-

DIG-alkaline phosphatase (AP) and NBT/BCIP. After in situ hybridization, embryos were put in

4% paraformaldehyde in PBS, and mounted in 85% glycerol/PBS. Embryos were visualized and

imaged with Nikon SMZ1500 zoom stereomicroscope (Nikon Instruments Inc).

Luciferase assay.

For luciferase activity detection, 20 ng/µl of pDest-βactin:EGFP_CREB-polyA or pDest-

βactin:EGFP-polyA together with 20 ng/µl of pAd C6-6xCRE_luciferase plasmids were injected

into the yolk of fertilized one-cell stage embryos. Renilla plasmid was used at 1:10 ratio. 26 h after

injection, proteins were extracted and analyzed by Dual Luciferase Assay System (Promega

Corporation, Madison, WI).

AML score.

We scored the AML on 77 CREB-zebrafish by using different methods, and when it was possible,

also by confirming diagnosis with two methods for the same fish (such as MGG+RNA or

MGG+FACS). In particular, we extracted the kidney marrow and/or mass for 16 fish and MGG and

ANAE staining was evaluated; in 8 fish we dissociated kidney marrow and/or mass and cells were

analyzed by FACS; 25 whole fish were paraffin-included and sagitally sectioned for histological

evaluation by H&E, CREB, PCNA, l-plastin staining; from 5 kidney marrow we extracted RNA

and perform gene expression profiling; 27 fish were found dead with abdominal mass.

Hisytology, immunohistochemistry and cytology.

Whole adult zebrafish were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, embedded in paraffin, and 5 μm

serial sections were obtained. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and immunohistochemical

analyses were performed. For this purpose, sections were re-hydrated and then antigen retrieval was

performed by incubation with citrate buffer 0.01 M pH6 at 95 °C for 20 min. For

immunohistochemistry, slides were incubated with 1:500 dilution anti-CREB (AB-129 Sigma-

Aldrich), 1:500 dilution anti-PCNA (FL-261, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), 1:500 dilution

anti-C/EBP δ (C-22, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 1 hour and then developed with the DAKO

Envision Detection Kit (Dako, Carpinteria, CA). Kidney or abdominal mass isolated from zebrafish

were imprinted on glass, and stained with MGG and Alpha-naphtyl acetate esterase (ANAE) with

standard procedures. Images were captured on a Nikon SMZ1500 zoom stereomicroscope (Nikon

Instruments Inc), or on a ViCo Nikon eclipse 80i microscope.

Reverse phase protein arrays and Western Blot.

RPPA analysis was performed as described previously5. In brief, a previously analysed cohort of 66

AML patients6 samples were stained for total protein content (Fast Green FCF; Sigma-Aldrich) and

with 5 different previously validated antibodies using the Catalyzed Signal Amplification System

kit (Dako). The images of stained slides were analyzed using the Microvigene software

(VigeneTech Inc, Boston, MA) to generate normalized and background-subtracted single values for

each protein in each sample. CREB S133 (Cell Signaling) and C/EBPδ (C-22, Santa Cruz

Biotechnology), were previously subjected to extensive validation for single band specificity by

Western blot analysis. For Western Blot experiments, total proteins lysates were obtained by

resuspending cell pellet in ice cold lysis buffer (Biosource International; Camarillo, CA)

supplemented with 0.5 mM PhenylMethaneSulfonyl Fluoride (PMSF, Sigma-Aldrich), mammalian

protease, and phosphatase inhibitor mixture (both 1×, Sigma-Aldrich), for 30 min on ice. Total

proteins lysates (15 μg) were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel

electrophoresis. Immunoblots were hybridized with anti-CREB (AB-129), anti-β-actin (AC-74,

both Sigma-Aldrich), anti-CREB S133 (Cell Signaling) and anti-C/EBPδ (C-22, Santa Cruz

Biotechnology). Enhanced chemiluminescence western blot detection reagents and films (Bio-Rad,

Hercules, CA) were used. Densitometric analyses for protein quantification were carried out using

the UVIBAND Image quantification software (Uvitec, Cambridge, UK). The value of each band

was normalized to the value of β-actin protein.

Cell lines, primary cell cultures and transfection.

Cell lines were purchased by DSMZ. HBM and AML primary cell cultures were obtained from BM

from healthy donors or from AML patients respectively. In compliance with the Helsinki

Declaration, informed consent was obtained from the parents of the patients. The cells were

cultured in RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Invitrogen)

and the following recombinant human (rh) cytokines: interleukin-3 (rhIL-3; 20 ng/mL), interleukin-

6 (rhIL-6; 20ng/mL), stem cell factor (rhSCF; 50 ng/mL), thrombopoietin (rhTPO; 50 ng/mL) and

fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 ligand (rhFLT-3 ligand; 50 ng/mL). All cytokine were from Miltenyi

(Miltenyi Biotec, B. Gladbach, Germany) Cell transfection was performed using a Amaxa

Nucleofector Biosystems (Lonza; Cologne, Germany) according to the manufacturer's guidelines

and efficiency was up to 40%. Healthy bone marrow cells were transfected with 2 µg of pEGFP-

N1- ΔGFP -CREB plasmid or an empty vector (pEGFPN1-ΔGFP-EV) used as control. AML

primary cells and HL60 were silenced for CREB by a mix of 2 exogenous small interfering RNAs

(siRNA) specific for the CREB gene (siRNA1+siRNA3 (37), 100 nmol/L, Dharmacon Industries,

Lafayette, CO). HL60 were silenced for C/EBPδ gene by IBONI siRNA pool (100 nmol/L,

Euroclone). A siRneg was used as control. C/EBPδ was overexpress in HL60 by transfecting

DNA3HA-CEBPD plasmid kindly provided by Dr. Ju-Ming Wang8.

RNA extraction and SYBR Green quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR assays.

Total RNA was extracted from cells using Trizol (Invitrogen-Life Technologies). RNA (1 μg) was

transcribed using the SuperScript II system (Invitrogen-Life Technologies) following the

manufacturer's instructions. RQ-PCR was performed with 1 μL cDNA in 20 μL using the SYBR

Green method (Invitrogen-Life Technologies) and analyzed on an ABI PRISM 7900HT Sequence

Detection System (Applied Biosystems-Life Technologies). Expression values were normalized to

GUS and expression as fold change relative to the control was calculated by the comparative ΔΔCt

method9.
