HOTAIR facilitates HPVEC apoptosis via DNMT1 mediated hypermethylation of Bcl-2 promoter in the mouse model. a HE staining of lungs from the control, CSE, CSE + Si-HOTAIR, CSE + Vector and CSE + Si-HOTAIR + OE-DNMT1 groups. Scale bar = 100 μm. b Morphometric measurements of MLI (μm) and DI (%) were performed in each group. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the control group. c Immunoblotting was conducted in lungs from the control, CSE, CSE + Si-HOTAIR, CSE + Vector and CSE + Si-HOTAIR + OE-DNMT1 groups. dg The relative expressions of DNMT1, Bcl-2, Bax, and Cleaved-caspase 3 in lungs. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the control group. hk Expression of HOTAIR, DNMT1, Bcl-2 and Bax were measured by qRT-PCR from the control, CSE, CSE + Si-HOTAIR, CSE + Vector and CSE + Si-HOTAIR + OE-DNMT1 groups. *P < 0.05 compared with the control group. l TUNEL staining was conducted in HPVEC from the control, CSE, CSE + Si-HOTAIR, CSE + Vector and CSE + Si-HOTAIR + OE-DNMT1 groups. Scale bar = 25 μm. m Statistical analysis of the AI in different groups. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05. n Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was conducted using HPVEC from the control, CSE, CSE + Si-HOTAIR, CSE + Vector and CSE + Si-HOTAIR + OE-DNMT1 groups. *P < 0.05 compared with the control group
