Transcriptional and epigenetic analysis of Kim-1 (Havcr1) gene in AKI and CKD models. RT-qPCR RNA and ChIP-qPCR analysis (see Fig. 4). Kim-1 transcript levels (mRNA) were normalized to L32 mRNA. Matrix ChIP-qPCR analysis of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), and permissive (H3K27Ac, H3K4m3) and repressive (H3K9m2) marks (n = 6 mice from each group) Small solid circle, p < 0.05, large circle, p < 0.01, and no circle, not statistically significant. Kim-1 transcript levels were upregulated in all model expect for LPS. mRNA levels were matched by increased in Pol II and permissive modifications and reduced repressive marks suggesting transcriptional and epigenetic control of gene expression.
