BA increases Ub-H2A transcriptional repressor and decreases AR mRNA. (a) qPCR showed that BA reduced AR mRNA (*P < 0.002; n = 4, 2 independent experiments) and protein (western blot) starting at 8 h in LNCaP. (b) Western blot in LNCaP showed that BA increased Ub-H2A (23 kDa) at 14 and 24 h (left blot); only the 10 μM concentration of BA known to inhibit DUB activity was able to increase Ub-H2A (24 h; right blot). Loading control (protein). Blot images in (a,b) were cropped for clarity of the presentation. (c) Immunofluorescence in LNCaP showed that BA (24 h) increased Ub-H2A (green) in the nucleus (DAPI stain, blue) greater than control cells. (d) IHC of PCa showed greater nuclear Ub-H2A (x200, dark brown color) in BA compared to vehicle control treated TRAMP mice.
