Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. ACLY promoted RIG-I/NF-κB signaling via facilitating the acetylation of MYB in ECs. (A). Transcription factors of RIG-I predicted in transcriptome sequence data. (B). The acetylation levels of MYB in HUVEC treated with or without XBJ and BMS-303,141 respectively before LPS stimulation were detected using Western blot after IP with MYB antibody. (C). Immunofluorescent staining showing the nuclear localization of MYB in HUVEC pretreated with or without XBJ or BMS-303,141. (D). The constructed plasmids pGL 4.0, pGL4.0-DDX58, pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1(+)-MYB were transferred into 293T cells. The relative luciferase activity was analyzed by Dual Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit (n = 4). (E-G). Before LPS stimulation, HUVEC were transfected with siRNA specific to MYB. The protein levels of RIG-I, phosphorylated p65, E-selectin, VCAM-1, TF and PAI-1 were analyzed by Western blot.
