Fig. 2

A Increased MIF acetylation in cells treated with aspirin. HEK293T cells were transfected with MIF-Flag and treated with aspirin at indicated concentrations. MIF protein was immunoprecipitated with anti-Myc antibody and probed with anti-Ac-K antibody. B Quantification of MIF acetylation showed in (A). Data shown were independent points and mean; one-way ANOVA; n = 3; ***p < 0.001. C Incubation of recombinant GST-MIF protein with aspirin (1 mM), and immunoblot with anti-Ac-K antibody. D Quantification of MIF acetylation showed in (C). Data shown were independent points and mean; paired t-test; n = 3; ***p < 0.001. E Representative K78-acetylated peptides of MIF were analyzed by mass spectrometry. HEK293T cells were transfected with MIF-Flag and treated with aspirin (2 mM). The MIF protein was immunoprecipitated with an anti-Flag antibody and acetylated peptides were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The y ion peaks are shown in blue, and the b ion peaks are shown in red. F Incubation of recombinant GST-MIF protein with aspirin at indicated concentrations, and immunoblot with MIF K78 acetylation antibody. G Quantification of MIF K78 acetylation is shown in (F). Data shown were independent points and mean; paired t-test; n = 3; *p < 0.05. H Decreased MIF K78 acetylation in HDAC6-overexpressing cells. HEK293T cells were transfected with Flag-HDAC6. Acetylated MIF protein was immunoprecipitated with anti-Ac-MIF antibody and probed with anti-MIF antibody. I Quantification of MIF K78 acetylation shown in H. Data shown were independent points and mean; paired t-test; n = 3; **p < 0.01. J Increased MIF K78 acetylation in HDAC6 mutant cortex. Lysates from WT and HDAC6 mutant cortex were immunoprecipitated with anti-Ac-MIF antibody and probed with anti-MIF antibody. K Quantification of MIF K78 acetylation is shown in (J). Data shown were independent points and mean; paired t-test; n = 3; *p < 0.05. L Reduced MIF K78 acetylation in the penumbra regions of the cortex. Lysates of the cortex from the control and ischemia-induced mice were immunoprecipitated with anti-Ac-MIF antibody and probed with anti-MIF antibody. M Quantification of MIF K78 acetylation is shown in (L). Data shown were independent points and mean; paired t-test; n = 3; *p < 0.05.
