Figure 6. Alcohol Induces HDAC2 Gene Expression and this Effect is Inhibited by Antioxidants.
After reaching confluency, SK-N-MC were pre-treated with TSA (50 nM) for 2 hrs, then treated with EtOH (0.1%) for 24 hrs. After incubation, cells were harvested, RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed followed by qRT- PCR for HDAC2 and endogenous GAPDH and 18S rRNA, gene expression. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of TAI values of three independent experiments. # represents significance compared to control. * represents significance compared to EtOH treatment.
