Mutation of Hdac11 gene results in loss of HDAC11 expression. (A) A primer pair (arrows) requiring a sequence in the deleted region (dotted box) encompassing exon 3 of the Hdac11 gene fails to produce a 284 bp in Hdac11 KO/KO (HOM) mice. (B) A primer pair that covers the deleted region yields a smaller product in mice heterozygous or homozygous for the mutant allele. (C,D) Lower levels of the Hdac11 transcript and (F)  HDAC11 protein were detected in Hdac11 WT/KO mice compared to Hdac11 WT/WT mice. Gene expression was normalised to that of Gapdh. (E) No HDAC11 protein was detected in Hdac11 KO/KO mice. (G) A truncated form of HDAC11 was not detected in Hdac11 KO/KO mouse brain. Antibody used in panels 4E, 4F and 4G is anti-HDAC11 (Sigma, Catalogue #H4539). N = 6 (dots = individual sample values), bars = mean ± STD, **p < 0.01, one-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test.
