Figure Lengend Snippet: Trichostatin A induces the accumulation of acetylated histones H3 and H4 in PDAC cells and enhances the epigenetic activity of Vorinostat. ( A ) RT-PCR data showing co-reduction in the mRNA expression of HDAC-1, HDAC-7, HDAC-8, DNMT3B and LSD1 after treatemnt with SAHA and/or TSA. GAPDH mRNA was used as internal control. ( B ) Changes in the protein expression of Ac-H3, Ac-H4, H3K4me2, and H3K9me2 after treatment with SAHA and/or TSA. Histone H3 was used as loading control. Fold changes is indicated.
Article Snippet: The membranes with the blots were then incubated with 5% non-fat milk in PBS with Tween-20 for 1 h to prevent non-specific binding before being incubated overnight at 4 °C in specific primary antibodies against HDAC1, HDAC7, HDAC8, E-cadherin, Vimentin, Ac-H3, Ac-H4, H3K4me2, H3K9me2 and Histone H3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA) followed by incubation in peroxidase - conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 h, washed with PBST three times, then the protein signals were observed using the UVP BioSpectrum system (Analytic Jena Company).
