Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Venn diagram showing the overlap of genes upregulated in KPC Hdac5-KO mice ( n = 5 per genotype; log 2 [fold-change] > 1, P < 0.05, 2,410 genes) identified via RNA-Seq and genes upregulated in shHDAC5-treated PANC-1 cells ( n = 3 per condition; log 2 [fold-change] > 1, P < 0.05, 2,683 genes), revealing a shared subset of 378 genes. ( B ) Bar graph showing the top 10 enriched transcription factors from transcription factor analysis of 378 genes in A using Enrichr. ATF2, activating transcription factor 2. ( C ) Dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to assess the transcriptional activity of c-Myc in HDAC5-depleted PANC-1 and AsPC-1 cells. Data are presented as mean ± SD ( n = 5). Statistical significance was determined by 1-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. *** P < 0.001. ( D ) Heatmap of MYC ChIP-Seq signal intensity (±3 kb around MYC binding sites) in control vs. HDAC5-knockdown PANC-1 cells. ( E ) The average ChIP signal of MYC centered at transcription start site (±3 kb) in indicated groups. ( F ) Venn diagram depicting the overlap between genes with enhanced MYC promoter occupancy after shHDAC5 knockdown, as identified by ChIP-Seq, and genes upregulated in PANC-1 cells following shHDAC5 knockdown, as determined by RNA-Seq. P = 6 × 10 –71 . ( G ) KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of 821 intersecting genes in F . ( H and I ) Western blot analysis of canonical MAPK pathway protein expression under indicated conditions.
