1 Supplemental Figure 1 Effects of DATE shortening on HGF promoter activity. The HGF promoter region (-1037 to +56) containing wild-type (30As) or truncated DATE (26As, 27As, 28A, 29As) from breast cancer cases was inserted into the upstream of the luciferase report gene in pgl2-basic vector (namely, phgf30a-luc, phgf26a-luc, phgf27a-luc, phgf28a-luc and phgf29a-luc). PGL2-basic (Basic-Luc) was used as a negative control vector. The above plasmids were verified by DNA sequencing of the entire insert and transiently transfected into HeLa cells. Luciferase activity in phgf30a-luc is significantly lower than those constructs with truncated DATE (30As vs. 26As, P1 < 0.01; 30As vs. 27As, P2 < 0.01; 30As vs. 28As, P3 < 0.05; 30As vs. 29As, P4 < 0.01, two tail paired t-test).

2 Supplemental Figure 2 Identification of C/EBP-β binding site in HGF promoter region. Biotin labeled synthetic oligo DNA (B-oligo) corresponding to the C/EBP-β site upstream of DATE (at -827) was used for DNA affinity purification assay to check C/EBP-β binding ability employing C/EBP-β antibody and western blot. Commercially available C/EBP-β oligos (C) were used as a positive control; 50X of unlabeled -827 oligo (C 827) and C/EBP-β oligo (CC) were used as competitors to show specific binding. N: no oligo added in the pull down reaction; MC: mutant C/EBP-β oligo; U: unrelated oligos; Arrows point to C/EBP-β (C/EBP-β1 and C/EBP-β2) bands binding to the site present at -827 in the HGF promoter and to C/EBP-β oligo.

3 Supplemental Figure 3 Representative Profile of Met protein expression in eight different breast cancer cases having various DATE length (genotype). Met expression was noted in all breast cancer tissues. A pattern of high Met expression (+++) was apparent in breast cancer tissues having the truncated DATE genotype (i.e. 30A:24A, 21A:21A and 29A:19A also see Supplemental Table 2) as opposed to those with wild type DATE which exhibited weak (+) to moderate (++) Met expression. Bar indicates 40 µm.

4 Supplemental Figure 4 Truncated DATEs are present in normal human breast tissues. Genotyping was done by PCR and the resulting 70 bp PCR products were analyzed on 15% denaturing polyacrylamide gel containing 8M urea. The arrows show truncated DATE. Cloned and sequenced 70 bp PCR products containing 14As, 26As, and 29As and were used as markers as indicated.
