Apabetalone treatment decreased BRD4 occupancy at transcription regulatory elements of IFNγ-responsive genes. IFNγ stimulation (4 h) increases BRD4 occupancy on the CXCL10 and ICAM1 gene regulatory regions, but not in a BRD4 protein-lacking region (Control) as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Co-treatment with apabetalone (25 μM) reduces BRD4 association with gene regulatory regions. b Apabetalone (25 μM) also suppressed CXCL10 mRNA transcript induction by IFNγ in these same samples. Samples were processed in triplicate. Data are presented as the mean ± S.D. Statistical significance was determined through ANOVA followed by Tukey’s Multiple Comparison Test, where **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ns, no significant difference
