Detergent extracts of the HCMEC/D3 cells and hCMEC/D3-MDR1-EGFP cells were prepared as described before21 (link) and subjected to Western blot analysis using anti-PGP 1:200 (Signet Laboratories, Dedham, MA, USA), anti-acetyl-histone-H4 1:200 (pan Lys 5, 8, 12, Merck Chemicals GmbH, Schwalbach, Deutschland) and anti-actin 1:1000 (Sigma-Aldrich) as primary antibiodies. The secondary antibodies utilized anti-mouse-HRP 1:1000 and anti-rabbit-HRP 1:1000 (Dako, Hamburg, Germany). Proteins were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence using SuperSignal West Femto Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo Scientific) and the ChemiDoc system (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany) with QuantityOne software (Bio-Rad) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The indicated protein signals were quantified densitometrically with QuantityOne software (Bio-Rad) and calculated by normalization to the reference signals of actin with GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad, San Diego, CA, USA).
