Deacetylation of RelA/p65 by SIRT1 diminishes Lox-1 expression. (A) Aortic Lox-1 expression is increased in ApoE−/− SIRT1+/− compared with ApoE−/− SIRT1+/+ mice. (B) Lox-1 expression is higher in 5 h TNFα-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages pretreated with 200 µM splitomicin (Splito) compared with untreated cells (nt). (C) Ectopic SIRT1 expression in SIRT1−/− MEF reduces Lox-1 expression. (D) In RelA/p65−/− MEF with reconstituted wt-RelA/p65, siRNA-mediated SIRT1 knockdown enhances Lox-1 expression upon 5 h TNFα stimulation, whereas no effect is observed in RelA/p65−/− MEF with a reconstituted mutated, non-acetylatable K310-RelA/p65. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001.
