Article Title: Nutrient sensitive protein O -GlcNAcylation modulates the transcriptome through epigenetic mechanisms during embryonic neurogenesis
doi: 10.26508/lsa.202201385
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Protein expression analysis by Western blotting was performed on embryo brain cortices from E14.5 of control (C), hyperglycemic (HG), and hyperglycemic treated with O -GlcNAc transferase inhibitor, ST045849 (ST) rats using anti- O -GlcNAc, Ezh2-Thr311p, Ezh2-Thr487p, Ezh2, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3, Mll1, Mll2, and Lsd1 antibodies. The expression of β-Actin was used as the loading control. The results are representative of three independent biological replicates. (A, B) Densitometric quantitation of Western blots from panel (A). Data shown are mean ± SD of three biological replicates. Statistical analyses (unpaired t test) were made between C versus HG samples and HG versus ST samples using GraphPad Prism Software. Asterisks represent differences being significant (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001).
Article Snippet: For OGT inhibition, pregnant hyperglycemic animals were injected with OGT inhibitor ST045849 (TimTec; 600–1,000 μg/animal) intraperitoneally from E9.5 to E13.5 as per previous report ( ).
