HMGN2ac might have no interaction with H3K27ac. The KO RAW 264.7 cells were transfected, respectively, with GFP, 2K‐R, 3K‐R, 5K‐R and WT HMGN2 plasmids by using jetPRIME, for 24 h, and then incubated with both 50 μM PYO and DMSO for 6 h. The Western blot showing H3K27ac in RAW 264.7 cells treated both with DMSO (A) and with PYO (C), and (B, D) the densitometric analysis showing relative expression normalized by the GFP plasmid. (E) Western blot showing HMGN2 protein in the RAW 264.7 cells both with and without TSA (20 nM) upon PYO stimulation, and (F) densitometric analysis showing relative expression normalized to that of the DMSO group. (G) RT‐qPCR displaying the Hmgn2 mRNA in the RAW 264.7 cells treated with PYO (50 μM, 6 h), and DMSO is the control. (H‐I) Co‐IP showing the interaction of HMGN2 with H3K27ac. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, ***P < 0.001, and n.s indicates no statistical difference, n = 3
