HDAC2 positively regulates the expression of Sp1 and negatively regulates the expression of p53 in ER+ breast cancer cells. (A) Expression of Sp1 and p53 in MCF7 and MCF7-TamC3 cells was determined by Western blotting. (B) Expression of survivin at the transcriptional level in MCF7 and MCF7-TamC3 cells was determined by qPCR. “∗∗” denotes a statistical significance (P < 0.01) between the testing groups. (C) Breast cancer cells were transfected with either scramble siRNA or HDAC2 siRNA for 24–48 h (depending on the target knockdown efficiency in different cell lines). Expression of Sp1 and p53 was determined by Western blotting. (D) Breast cancer cells were transfected with either scramble siRNA or HDAC2 siRNA for 48 h and expression of survivin was determined by qPCR. “” and ∗∗∗” denote a statistical significance (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively) between the testing groups.
