Histone Acetyltransferase-Dependent Pathways Mediate Upregulation of NADPH Oxidase 5 in Human Macrophages under Inflammatory Conditions: A Potential Mechanism of Reactive Oxygen Species Overproduction in Atherosclerosis

Figure 5

Exposure of cultured human Mac to LPS induces the upregulation of HAT1, H3K27ac, H3K9ac, and Nox5 protein levels in a concentration-dependent manner. Note the densitometric analysis of HAT1 (a), H3K27ac (b), H3K9ac (e), and Nox5 (f) protein levels analyzed by western blot in Mac exposed to increasing concentrations of LPS (0.1-1 μg/mL). ; , , and . values were taken in relation to vehicle-treated cells. Representative immunoblots depicting the gradual upregulation of HAT1 (c), H3K27ac (d), H3K9ac (g), and Nox5 proteins (h) in LPS-challenged cells.
