Transfection of Dnmts siRNA. (a) Experimental protocol of the transient transfection system with gRNA1 and Dnmts siRNA. Closed triangles indicate BS analysis. (b) Gene expression levels of Dnmts 72 h after transfection with scramble or Dnmts siRNA in Hepa1-6 cells. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann–Whitney U-test. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. n = 7–9 per group. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; N.S., not significant vs. scramble siRNA. (c) (Left panel) BS analysis of the Fgf21 promoter at the designated time points. Representative data of four independent experiments are shown. %DNA methylation is indicated below as mean ± SD. (Right panel) Graphic presentation of statistical analysis of the BS data (n = 4 at each time point). Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann–Whitney U-test. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05; N.S., not significant vs. scramble siRNA.
