Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 9. HDAC3 functions in a deacetylase-independent manner to regulate EndMT and epigenetic silencing of TGF-1. A, HDAC3-FLAG and HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG expression constructs were transfected in HEK-293T cells. Expression was detected by Western blot from whole cell lysates using FLAG antibody. GAPDH is shown as a loading control. B, HDAC3-FLAG and HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG expression was quantified and normalized to total input GAPDH using ImageJ software (mean S.D. (error bars), n 3). C, HDAC activity of HDAC3-FLAG and HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG expression was quantified against a pseudosubstrate. D, EndMT assay of control- or Cre-infected E10.5 Hdac3F/F outflow tract cushion explants co-infected with GFP, HDAC3-FLAG, or HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG lentiviruses, imaged 24 h after isolation. E, quantification of average radial migration, measured in eight directions, of control- or Cre-infected E10.5 Hdac3F/F outflow tract cushion explants co-infected with GFP, HDAC3-FLAG, or HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG lentiviruses, measured 24 h after isolation(mean S.E.(errorbars),n3).F,relativemRNAlevelsofTgf-1incontrol-orCre-infectedE14.5Hdac3F/Fvalvularmesenchymalcellsco-infectedwith control, HDAC3-FLAG, or HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG lentiviruses (mean S.E., n 3). G, a 1309-bp TGF-1 promoter luciferase reporter (WT) or a truncated, 1267-bp TGF-1 promoter luciferase reporter, lacking an HDAC3-enriched region (mutant) were transfected in murine endothelial cells with and without an HDAC3-FLAG or HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG expression plasmid. Induction is represented as a ratio of firefly and Renilla luciferase activity. H–L, ChIP-qPCR analysis of H3K27 acetylation (H), H3K27 trimethylation (I), EZH2 (J), EED (K), and SUZ12 (L) upstream of TGF-1 in control- or Cre-infected E14.5 Hdac3F/F valvular mesenchymal cells co-infected with control, HDAC3-FLAG, or HDAC3H134A,H135A-FLAG lentiviruses (mean S.E., n 3).
