Figure Lengend Snippet: Regulation of HYAL1 expression by BRD2, BRD3 and BRD4. ( A – C ) Panc1 ( A ), AsPC1 ( B ), and stellate (Stl, C ) cells were transfected with control siRNA or individual siRNAs against BRD2 (siB2), BRD3 (siB3), and BRD4 (siB4). The efficiency of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 knockdown was determined at the protein level by Western blotting after 72 h of transfection and the effect on HYAL1 protein concentration was determined with ELISA after 96 h of transfection. Mean ± SD. ( D ) AsPC1 cell line was with the BET inhibitor JQ1 (1 μM) overnight. The cells were subjected to ChIP analysis using an anti-BRD2 antibody, and an isotype-matched IgG was used as a negative control. The association with the HYAL1 gene promoter was quantified by qPCR and 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. The qPCR results are the mean of two independent experiments. Mean ± SD. The western blot results are representative of three independent experiments, and ELISA results are the mean of three independent experiments. Statistical analysis of ELISA results was done by Student’s t -test, ns p > 0.05; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. NC, no template control.
