Figure 5. Effects of WY-14,643 on expression of Suv39h1, Suv4−20h2, and PRDM/Riz1 histone methyltransferases in mouse liver.
Liver tissue lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and subjected to immunoblotting using specific antibodies against Suv39h1, Suv4−20h2, and PRDM/Riz1 histone methyltransferases. Equal sample loading was confirmed by immunostaining against β-actin. Bar graph shows quantitative evaluation (percent change, mean±S.D.) of the Suv39h1, Suv4−20h2, and PRDM/Riz1 expression in livers of WY-14,643-treated mice (n=5 for each time point) relative to those in control animals (all time points, n=15). Representative Western immunoblot images from two independent experiments are shown for each protein. Asterisks (*) indicate significant difference from time/strain-matched control mice.
