FIGURE 4:
MiR-146a expression was regulated by histone acetylation in macrophages. (A) q-PCR assay of miR-146a expression in peritoneal macrophages treated with rsTRAIL for 6 h, TSA for 12 h, or the combination of both. The miR-146a levels were normalized relative to U6. (B) ChIP assay of histone H3 acetylation and p65 subunit binding to the two NF-κB binding sites in the miR-146a promoter in macrophages with the same treatments as in A. (C) q-PCR assay of HDAC1–11 in TRAIL-stimulated macrophages. Data are mean ± SD (n = 3) of three independent experiments. **, p < 0.01; *, p < 0.05 compared with control.
