Knockdown of HDAC3 increases GATA6/Sp1/p300 interactions. Representative co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) of cell lysate from MLE-15 cells transduced with Hdac3 shRNA or non-silencing shRNA (NS) demonstrates decreased HDAC3/Sp1 interaction (A), increased GATA6/Sp1 and GATA6/p300 (B), and increased p300/Sp1 (C) interaction following HDAC3 knockdown. n = 3. (D) Model of Sp1-mediated Aqp5 transcriptional regulation and involvement of HDAC3, GATA6, and p300: HDAC3 and GATA6 regulate Sp1-mediated Aqp5 transcription via H3 deacetylation and acetylation, respectively, at the proximal promoter/enhancer. Mechanisms underlying GATA6-dependent H3 acetylation at the Aqp5 enhancer/promoter might involve competition between GATA6 and HDAC3 for binding to Sp1, as well as recruitment of histone acetylase p300 to the Sp1/GATA6 complex. In addition to effects on H3 acetylation, p300 might also modulate GATA6 and/or Sp1 activity.
