doi: 10.1172/JCI97426
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A and B) The expression of miR-210 in normal human CD4+ T cells stimulated with IL-23, TGF-β, IL-6, or IL-1β (A, n = 3 per group). The protein levels of HIF-1α, STAT6, and LYN in cells stimulated with IL-23 or TGF-β (B). (C) The miR-210 expression levels in human CD4+ T cells transfected with HIF-1α siRNA or siRNA controls followed by stimulation with IL-23 or TGF-β for 24 hours (n = 3 per group). (D) CD4+ T cells were transfected with HIF-1α overexpression plasmid (upper panel) or were stimulated with TGF-β (lower 2 panels). Co-IP and Western blot showed the interaction between HIF-1α and P300. (E–G) The enrichment of HIF-1α, P300, and H3ac on the miR-210 promoter in psoriatic CD4+ T cells transfected with HIF-1α siRNA or controls (E, n = 3), normal CD4+ T cells transfected with HIF-1α plasmid or controls (F, n = 3), or normal CD4+ T cells stimulated with TGF-β (G, n = 3). Data (B and D) are representative of at least 3 independent experiments. Data represent the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test (A and G) or 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t test (C, E, and F) was used.
