Regulation of Rac1 gene transcripts and 5hmC at its promoter. Cells transfected with Suv39H1-siRNA (Suv-si) or Dnmt1-siRNA (Dnmt-si), incubated in high glucose for four days, were analyzed for Rac1 (a) gene transcripts by qRT-PCR using β-actin as a housekeeping gene and (b) 5hmC at its promoter by immunoprecipitating 5hmC in the genomic DNA , and quantifying by qRT-PCR using gene specific primers. Transfection efficiency of (c) SuvH39H1-siRNAs and (d) Dnmt1-siRNA was determined by quantifying its gene transcripts. NG and HG = cells in 5 mM or 20 mM D-glucose respectively, HG/Suv-si and HG/Dnmt1-si = cells transfected with Suv39H1-siRNA or Dnmt1-siRNA, and incubated in 20 mM D-glucose, Suv-si and Dnmt-si = cells transfected with Suv39H1-siRNA or Dnmt1-siRNA. *p < 0.05 vs NG and #p < 0.05 vs HG.
