Article Title: JMJD3 is Involved in Intracranial Aneurysm Development by Regulating DLX2 Expression through H3K27me3 Modification
doi: 10.1620/tjem.2023.j048
Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. Silencing of JMJD3 inhibits the formation of intracranial aneurysm. Rats with intracranial aneurysm were administered with sh-DLX2 or sh-JMJD3 alone, or with oe-DLX2. Model, successfully modeled intracranial aneurysm rats. (A) Detection of COL1A1, COL3A1, DLX2, and JMJD3 in the artery of intracranial aneurysm rat by western blot (n = 8). (B) The blood pressure of rats in each group (n = 8). (C) Histopathological changes of arteries in rats with intracranial aneurysm detected by HE staining (n = 8). (D) The levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the tail vein blood of rats by ELISA (n = 8). *p < 0.05 vs. the sham group; #p < 0.05 vs. the sh-NC group; &p < 0.05 vs. the sh-JMJD3 + oe-NC group. The measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Two-way ANOVA was used for comparisons among multiple groups and Tukey’s post hoc test was used for pairwise comparisons.
Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked at room temperature with Tris-buffered saline-Tween 20 containing 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and incubated with diluted primary antibodies against rabbit antibodies to DLX2 (ab272902, Abcam), JMJD3 (ab169197, Abcam), collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) (#91144, Cell Signaling Technologies, Beverly, MA, USA), collagen type III alpha 1 chain (COL3A1) (sc-271249, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) (ab181286, Abcam), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) (ab76003, Abcam), H3K27me3 (#9733, Cell Signaling Technologies), and GAPDH (ab9485, Abcam) overnight at 4°C and with the secondary antibody goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (ab6721, Abcam) or rabbit anti-mouse IgG antibody (ab6728, Abcam) at room temperature.
