Angiotensin II Mediates Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy in Atrial Cardiomyopathy via Epigenetic Transcriptional Regulation

Figure 5

AngII-induced changes in the enrichment of MEF2, HDAC 4, HDAC5, and histone modifications on the promoter of hypertrophy-related genes ANP and BNP in cultured atrial cardiomyocytes. Quantitative ChIP analysis for MEF2, HDAC4, HDAC5, and H3K27ac and H4ac enrichment at promoters of ANP and BNP. All ChIP data are plotted as fold enrichment over equivalent amounts of input DNA and are shown as the . . per group. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni posttest.
