HDAC3 knockdown induces p16 expression in human colon cancer cells. a HCT116 cells were transfected with non-specific scrambled negative control siRNA (Neg siRNA), HDAC3 siRNA, or Keap1 siRNA for 48 h, followed by vehicle (−SFN) or 15-μM SFN treatment for 24 h. p16 mRNA levels were normalized to ACTB; data = mean ± SD (n = 3), *P < 0.05 compared to untreated Neg siRNA. b The corresponding whole cell lysates were immunoblotted for p16, HDAC3, HDAC6 and Nrf2. HDAC6 was unchanged and served as loading control. c The same samples were analyzed for changes in heme oxygenase-1 (HO1), a known Nrf2 target gene. d–e Confirmation of Keap1 and HDAC3 knockdown. Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)
