(A) Downregulation of PTPRK mRNA expression in KM-H2 cells infected with EBV (KM-H2-EBV) compared with control KM-H2 cells (KM-H2-neo). (B) Downregulation of PTPRK expression in EBV-positive parental L591 cells compared with their EBV-negative counterparts (L591-SD3). (C) EBNA1 expression in EBV-negative cells was alone sufficient to induce the downregulation of PTPRK mRNA expression. Shown here is data for KM-H2 cells. These data provide confirmation of the semi-quantitative PCR analysis shown in Figure 1 of the main paper.

EBV infection (left panel) or EBNA1 expression (right panel) in EBV-negative HL cell lines had no effect on Smad2 mRNA levels. Shown here is data for KM-H2 cells. These findings provide confirmation of the semi-quantitative PCR analysis of Smad2 RNA reported in Figure 2B of the main paper.

-
Depletion of Smad2 expression in EBV-negative KMH2 cells following knockdown with siRNA is confirmed by Q-PCR (left panel). This led to the down-regulation of PTPRK expression (right panel). These results confirm the semi-quantitative PCR analysis reported in Figure 4 of the main paper.

Left panel: EBNA1 protein expression is higher in the lymphoblastoid cell line X50-7 than in KM-H2-EBV and EBV-positive L591 cells. Right panel: EBNA1 protein expression in HL cells transfected with EBNA1 is similar to that observed in X50-7. We conclude that EBNA1 is overexpressed in transfected cell lines relative to EBV-infected HL cells. The different size of EBNA1 in the transfected cells reflects the well-described variation in the length of EBNA1 between different EBV isolates.
