Supplementary Table S1: BIRC mRNA and protein expression. Expression of BIRC3 and other members of the family upon oxidative stress when treated with NPD1 in different cell types including ARPE-19 cells deficient in TNFR1 and 15-LOX-1. TNFR1-d cells present a decreased TNFR1/TNF-α cytotoxic pathway. 15-LOX-1 silenced cells depict low levels of NPD1.Summary of BIRC expression assays, which include Microarray, Real-time PCR-Array, Real-Time PCR and Western blot performed for this report. Folds of regulation and statistical treatment of the comparisons are detailed.

Supplementary Table S2: BIRC3 promoter computational analysis.Computational analysis of the binding consensuses sequences contained in the human BIRC3 promoterfor 3 components of NF-ĸB. In silico promoter analysis performed by three different searching engines: TRED using Jaspar Matrix; TFSearch and TFbind using TRANSFACT Matrix. The maximum scores for TFSearch and TFbind are marked with an asterisk and displayed at the bottom of the table. The table depicts the score obtained for each NF-ĸB element: cREL, p65/RelB and p50 (column) in the corresponding binding site (row). The best score values were obtained for cREL in the site that goes from -211 to -201 bp within the fragment that showed NPD1 activation.
