Figure Lengend Snippet: Butyrate inhibits HDAC8 in IECs (A) qRT–PCR analysis of HDAC expression levels in terminal ileum samples obtained from the control mice (n = 3), butyrate-treated mice (n = 7), mice with NEC (n = 8), and butyrate-treated mice with NEC (n = 8). The data are shown in a heatmap. Three independent experiments were performed. (B) Analysis of HDAC8 mRNA levels in IECs isolated from intestinal samples from control mice (n = 3), butyrate-treated mice (n = 7), mice with NEC (n = 8), and butyrate-treated mice with NEC (n = 8). Three independent experiments were performed. (C) FHs74Int and IEC6 cells were incubated with LPS (10 μg/mL, 48 h) or butyrate (2 mmol/L, 12 h) as indicated. HDAC8 mRNA levels were analyzed by qRT–PCR. The results are expressed as the means ± SEMs. Three independent experiments were performed. (D) IHC detection of HDAC8 expression and the expression of molecules known to be substrates of HDAC8 in terminal ileum samples obtained from the different groups as indicated. Scale bar: 50 μm. (E) Western blotting analysis was performed to assess the relative expression levels of HDAC8 and genes known to be substrates of HDAC8 in IECs isolated from the different groups as indicated. (F) The protein levels of HDAC8, H3K9ac, H3K14ac, H3K27ac, and H4K16ac were analyzed by Western blotting in FHs74Int and IEC6 cells transfected with control lentivirus and HDAC8 lentivirus with 10 μg/mL LPS for 48 h and 2 mmol/L butyrate stimulation for 12 has indicated. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001. ns means no significance. Statistical significance was tested by two-tailed one-way analysis of variance test (A, B) or Mann–Whitney test (C).
