JmjD2d-dependence of LPS-induced genes

In dendritic cells, expression of the H3K9me3 demethylase JmjD2d is upregulated by LPS stimulation. To identify genes whose induction by LPS depends on JmjD2d activity, we performed a microarray analysis of wild-type and JmjD2d-knockdown dendritic cells, before and after stimulation with LPS. RNA was extracted from three independent cultures of wild-type and JmjD2d-knockdown dendritic cells, before and 4h after stimulation with 100ng/ml LPS. The unstimulated and stimulated wild-type samples, and the stimulated JmjD2d-knockdown samples, were used for microarray analysis.
