Cells or tissues were lysed with radio-immunoprecipitation assay buffer. Western blotting was carried out by standard protocols. The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-TSP-1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA); rabbit anti-HDAC4 (Signalway Antibody, Pearland, TX); rabbit anti-GAPDH, rabbit anti-P21, rabbit anti-HDAC8 (Proteintech Group, Chicago, IL); rabbit anti-acetylated histone H3, rabbit anti-acetylated histone H3 (Lys14, 27, 56 and K18), rabbit anti-phospho-H2AX ser-139 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), synaptophysin (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Proteins were visualized with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit, anti-mouse IgG, (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) followed by use of the ECL chemiluminescence system. Western blot data was subjected to densitometry analysis by computerized image analysis and software (Gel-Pro Analyzer software ver.6.0, Media Cyberetics, USA).
