Acidification of the cell culture medium reduces the global level of histone acetylation. (A) Diagram illustrating a bovine rumen with low pHe and a petri dish containing cell culture medium acidified by addition of HCl. (B) Immunoblots for H3K9ac from fibroblasts cultured in an acidic environment for 4 h. (C) Quantification of H3K9ac levels in fibroblasts from the control group, acidified with HCl or cultured with 1 µM TSA (positive control). The H3K9ac levels were calculated in relation to total histone H3 (H3). Data are presented as fold change in relation to the control group, and values are shown as the mean ± s.e.m. Different letters indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05). The western blot images were cropped for illustrative purposes. The full gels/blots are presented in Supplemental Fig. 5.
