Figure Lengend Snippet: Generation of AAVs that increase JMJD3 specifically in macrophages (A) AAVs carrying an M2-trigger, JMJD3, under a macrophage-specific CD68 promoter was generated. A scramble sequence was used as a control. GFP reporters were also included in the construct for assessment of the transduction efficiency. (B) Cultured RAW264.7 cells successfully transduced with the viruses. GFP channel was shown. (C) RT-qPCR for JMJD3. (D) JMJD3 activity. ∗p < 0.05. N = 5. Scale bars are 50 μm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Orthotopic injection of AAVs in the testis does not alter diabetes (A) Schematic of the study: we assigned male mice into four groups of five each. Group 1: mice only received an intraperitoneal injection of saline (control for STZ). Group 2: mice only received an intraperitoneal injection of STZ. Group 3: mice received an intraperitoneal injection of STZ and an orthotopic injection of AAVs carrying control Scr into the testis one week after STZ. Group 4: mice received an intraperitoneal injection of STZ and an orthotopic injection of AAVs carrying control JMJD3 into the testis one week after STZ. Mice were examined 12 weeks after treatment.

Scale bars are 100 μm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: JMJD3 expression in testicular macrophages improves mating capability of diabetic male mice At the beginning of the 12 weeks after AAV injection (or the beginning of the 13 weeks after STZ injection; or one week before sacrifice), each male C57BL/6 mouse from four groups was caged with four age-matched untreated female C57BL/6 mice for one week before they were removed from the females for final analysis followed by sacrifice.

Figure Lengend Snippet: JMJD3 repolarizes testicular macrophages back to M2-polarized phenotype (A) The digested testicle cells were subjected to CD68 and GFP double FACS, showing that GFP was exclusively detected in CD68 + cell fraction. (B) RT-qPCR for GFP in testis, blood, liver, lung, and kidney in mice. (C and D) Testicular macrophages were isolated and subjected to flow cytometry. (C) Quantification for % CD163 + cells in total CD68 + cells. (D) Representative flow charts for CD68 and CD163.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Reversible, oxygen-dependent global changes of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 levels. a Immunoblot detection (IB) of epigenetic changes (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) in MCF7 cells; loading control: total H3 (H3); lower panel quantification. b Ability of recombinant JMJD3 to demethylate H3K27me3 peptide in vitro was determined at 0.02, 0.2, 1, 5 and 21% (ambient) partial O 2 pressure; EDTA was used as a negative control as it blocks JMJD3 activity. Number of peaks for H3K4me3 ( c ) and H3K27me3 ( d ) significantly above background level ( p < 0.05) at different time points under hypoxic conditions ( t = 8, t = 24 h) and after reoxygenation ( t = +8 h). Bottom panels to c and d : representative gene tracks of loci displaying H3K4me3 gain ( ATP2A3 , GPRC5B ) or H3K27me3 gain ( CYP1B1 , OPRL1 ); diamond symbol indicates direction of gene transcription
