Fig. 3From: The steroid hormone estriol (E3) regulates epigenetic programming of fetal mouse brain and reproductive tractPrenatal exposure of E3 enhances expression of epigenetic modifiers in female offspring and enhances ER binding to epigenetic modifiers. A Representative immunoblots of epigenetic modifying proteins from the uteri of prenatally vehicle- (CT, n = 3 mice) and E3-treated mice (E3, n = 3 mice). B Increased histone methylation in prenatally E3-treated mice (n = 2 mice) compared to those treated with vehicle control (n = 2 mice). C Co-immunoprecipitation (IP) of ERα/β with DNA/histone modifiers from Ishkawa cells expressing Flag (Vec), Flag-ERα, or Flag-ERβ respectively, using an anti-Flag antibody followed by immunoblotting (IB) using the indicated antibodies. D Co-IP of Flag-ERα with DNA/histone modifiers from Ishkawa cells treated with DMSO (CT), E2 (E2), E3 (E3), bisphenol A (BPA), or diethylstilbestrol (DES). The immunoblots show the proteins bound to Flag-ERα and are representative of 3 independent experiments. Uncropped blots available in Additional file 3: Fig. S7Back to article page
