GATA6 regulation of AQP5 expression involves H3 acetylation. RNA and protein were harvested from MLE-15 cells transduced with lentivirus expressing Gata6 or control non-silencing shRNA (MOI = 2) for 3 days. qRT-PCR shows that knockdown of Gata6 (A) significantly decreases Aqp5 mRNA (B) and protein (AQP5 normalized to β-actin (42 kD)) (C,D) expression (n = 3, *p < 0.05 compared to non-silencing shRNA (NS-shRNA)). (E) ChIP with anti-acetyl-H3 Ab (H3Ac) demonstrates enrichment of H3 acetylation at the Aqp5 promoter/enhancer region homologous to the proximal 358-bp of the rat Aqp5 promoter using chromatin harvested from MLE-15 cells transduced with GATA6-expressing lentivirus or control (GFP) (MOI = 2) (n = 3, *p < 0.05). ChIP efficiency was calculated relative to control virus-transduced cells precipitated with H3Ac Ab, which was set as 1. Rabbit IgG pull-down is used as control.
