It has been known for several years that DNA replication and histone synthesis occur concomitantly in cultured mammalian cells. Normally all five classes of histones are synthesized coordinately. However, mouse myeloma cells, synchronized by starvation for isoleucine, synthesize increased amounts of histone H1 relative to the four nucleosomal core histones. This unscheduled synthesis of histone H1 is reduced within 1 h after refeeding isoleucine, and is not a normal component of G1. The synthesis of H1 increases coordinately again with other histones during the S phase. The DNA synthesis inhibitors, cytosine arabinoside and hydroxyurea, block all histone synthesis in S-phase cells. The levels of histone H1 mRNA, relative to the other histone mRNAs, is increased in isoeleucine-starved cells and decreases rapidly after refeeding isoleucine. The increased incorporation of histone H1 is at least partially due to the low isoleucine content of histone H1. Starvation of cells for lysine resulted in a decrease in H1 synthesis relative to core histones. Again the ratio was altered on refeeding the amino acid. 3T3 cells starved for serum also incorporated only H1 histones into chromatin. The ratio of different H1 proteins also changed. The synthesis of the H10 protein was predominant in G0 cells, and reduced in S-phase cells. These data indicate the metabolism of H1 is independent of the other histones when cell growth is arrested. 相似文献

Autophagy is a conserved mechanism for controlling the degradation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles in eukaryotes and can be induced by nutrient withdrawal, including serum starvation. Although differential acetylation of autophagy-related proteins has been reported to be involved in autophagic flux, the regulation of acetylated microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) is incompletely understood. In this study, we found that the acetylation levels of phosphotidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated LC3B (LC3B-II), which is a critical component of double-membrane autophagosome, were profoundly decreased in HeLa cells upon autophagy induction by serum starvation. Pretreatment with lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine did not attenuate such deacetylation. Under normal culture medium, we observed increased levels of acetylated LC3B-II in cells treated with tubacin, a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6). However, tubacin only partially suppressed serum-starvation-induced LC3B-II deacetylation, suggesting that HDAC6 is not the only deacetylase acting on LC3B-II during serum-starvation-induced autophagy. Interestingly, tubacin-induced increase in LC3B-II acetylation was associated with p62/SQSTM1 accumulation upon serum starvation. HDAC6 knockdown did not influence autophagosome formation but resulted in impaired degradation of p62/SQSTM1 during serum starvation. Collectively, our data indicated that LC3B-II deacetylation, which was partly mediated by HDAC6, is involved in autophagic degradation during serum starvation. 相似文献

Hyperglycemia is considered as one of the major determinants in the development of diabetic retinopathy, but the progression of retinopathy resists arrest after hyperglycemia is terminated, suggesting a metabolic memory phenomenon. Diabetes alters the expression of retinal genes, and this continues even after good glycemic control is re‐instituted. Since the expression of genes is affected by chromatin structure that is modulated by post‐translational modifications of histones, our objective is to investigate the role of histone acetylation in the development of diabetic retinopathy, and in the metabolic memory phenomenon. Streptozotocin‐induced rats were maintained either in poor glycemic control (PC, glycated hemoglobin, GHb >11%) or good glycemic control (GC, GHb <6%) for 12 months, or allowed to be in PC for 6 months followed by in GC for 6 months (PC‐GC). On a cellular level, retinal endothelial cells, the target of histopathology of diabetic retinopathy, were incubated in 5 or 20 mM glucose for 4 days. Activities of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and histone acetyltransferase (HAT), and histone acetylation were quantified. Hyperglycemia activated HDAC and increased HDAC1, 2, and 8 gene expressions in the retina and its capillary cells. The activity HAT was compromised and the acetylation of histone H3 was decreased. Termination of hyperglycemia failed to provide any benefits to diabetes‐induced changes in retinal HDAC and HAT, and histone H3 remained subnormal. This suggests “in principle” the role of global acetylation of retinal histone H3 in the development of diabetic retinopathy and in the metabolic memory phenomenon associated with its continued progression.

Post-translational modifications of core histone proteins play a key role in chromatin structure and function. Here, we study histone post-translational modifications during reentry of protoplasts derived from tobacco mesophyll cells into the cell cycle and evaluate their significance for progression through mitosis. Methylation of histone H3 at lysine residues 4 and 9 persisted in chromosomes during all phases of the cell cycle. However, acetylation of H4 and H3 was dramatically reduced during mitosis in a stage-specific manner; while deacetylation of histone H4 commenced at prophase and persisted up to telophase, histone H3 remained acetylated up to metaphase but was deacetylated at anaphase and telophase. Phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 10 was initiated at prophase, concomitantly with deacetylation of histone H4, and persisted up to telophase. Preventing histone deacetylation by the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) led to accumulation of protoplasts at metaphase-anaphase, and reduced S10 phosphorylation during anaphase and telophase; in cultured tobacco cells, TSA significantly reduced the frequency of mitotic figures. Our results indicate that deacetylation of histone H4 and H3 in tobacco protoplasts occurs during mitosis in a phase-specific manner, and is important for progression through mitosis. 相似文献

Cellular differentiation is caused by highly controlled modifications in the gene expression but rarely involves a change in the DNA sequence itself. Histone acetylation is a major epigenetic factor that adds an acetyl group to histone proteins, thus altering their interaction with DNA and nuclear proteins. Illumination of the histone acetylation during dentinogenesis is important for odontoblast differentiation and dentinogenesis. In the current study, we aimed to discover the roles and regulation of acetylation at histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9ac) and H3K27ac during dentinogenesis. We first found that both of these modifications were enhanced during odontoblast differentiation and dentinogenesis. These modifications are dynamically catalyzed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and deacetylases (HDACs), among which HDAC3 was decreased while p300 increased during odontoblast differentiation. Moreover, overexpression of HDAC3 or knockdown p300 inhibited odontoblast differentiation in vitro, and inhibition of HDAC3 and p300 with trichostatin A or C646 regulated odontoblast differentiation. Taken together, the results of our present study suggest that histone acetylation is involved in dentinogenesis and coordinated expression of p300- and HDAC3-regulated odontoblast differentiation through upregulating histone acetylation. 相似文献

Changes in histone H3 composition and synthesis pattern during lymphocyte activation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Freshly isolated human lymphocytes were found to synthesize histones at a significant rate even though no DNA was being synthesized. The synthesis pattern of histone variants in resting lymphocytes is similar to that found in other quiescent cells and different from that found in S-phase cells. For this reason, the histone synthesis in resting lymphocytes cannot be attributed to contamination by S-phase cells. Stimulation by the mitogen phytohemagglutinin resulted in a dramatic switch in the histone H3 variant synthesis pattern as well as a readily apparent change in the histone H3 mass pattern. Thus, the chromatin of activated lymphocytes has a different histone H3 variant composition than resting or quiescent lymphocytes. It is suggested that the proportion of H3.3 in the mass pattern of the chromatin of a cell may be related solely to how long that cell has been quiescent. Inducing resting lymphocytes to synthesize DNA by UV irradiation did not qualitatively change the histone variant synthesis pattern. No S-phase H3 variants were induced by the repair process. Furthermore, the quantity of histone synthesized neither increased nor decreased after treatment with UV light. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of agents that induce reelin mRNA expression in vitro on the methylation status of the human reelin promoter in neural progenitor cells (NT2). NT2 cells were treated with the histone deacetylase inhibitors, trichostatin A (TSA) and valproic acid (VPA), and the methylation inhibitor aza-2'-deoxycytidine (AZA) for various times. All three drugs reduced the methylation profile of the reelin promoter relative to untreated cells. The acetylation status of histones H3 and H4 increased following treatment with VPA and TSA at times as short as 15 min following treatment; a result consistent with the reported mode of action of these drugs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments showed that these changes were accompanied by changes occurring at the level of the reelin promoter as well. Interestingly, AZA decreased reelin promoter methylation without concomittantly increasing histone acetylation. In fact, after prolonged treatments with AZA, the acetylation status of histones H3 and H4 decreased relative to untreated cells. We also observed a trend towards reduced methylated H3 after 18 h treatment with TSA and VPA. Our data indicate that while TSA and VPA act to increase histone acetylation and reduce promoter methylation, AZA acts only to decrease the amount of reelin promoter methylation. 相似文献

Although the recruitment of fibroblasts to areas of injury is critical for wound healing, their subsequent apoptosis is necessary in order to prevent excessive scarring. Fibroproliferative diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis, are often characterized by fibroblast resistance to apoptosis, but the mechanism(s) for this resistance remains elusive. Here, we employed a murine model of pulmonary fibrosis and cells from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) to explore epigenetic mechanisms that may be responsible for the decreased expression of Fas, a cell surface death receptor whose expression has been observed to be decreased in pulmonary fibrosis. Murine pulmonary fibrosis was elicited by intratracheal injection of bleomycin. Fibroblasts cultured from bleomycin-treated mice exhibited decreased Fas expression and resistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis compared with cells from saline-treated control mice. Although there were no differences in DNA methylation, the Fas promoter in fibroblasts from bleomycin-treated mice exhibited decreased histone acetylation and increased histone 3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9Me3). This was associated with increased histone deacetylase (HDAC)-2 and HDAC4 expression. Treatment with HDAC inhibitors increased Fas expression and restored susceptibility to Fas-mediated apoptosis. Fibroblasts from patients with IPF likewise exhibited decreased histone acetylation and increased H3K9Me3 at the Fas promoter and increased their expression of Fas in the presence of an HDAC inhibitor. These findings demonstrate the critical role of histone modifications in the development of fibroblast resistance to apoptosis in both a murine model and in patients with pulmonary fibrosis and suggest novel approaches to therapy for progressive fibroproliferative disorders. 相似文献

Histone acetylation modulates gene expression and has been described as increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We investigated interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) interactions that influence H4 acetylation (H4ac) in SLE. Intracellular flow cytometry for H4 acetylated lysine (K) 5, K8, K12, and K16 was performed. Histone acetylation was defined in monocytes and T cells from controls and SLE patients. RNA-Seq studies were performed on monocytes to look for an imbalance in histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylase enzyme expression. Expression levels were validated using real-time quantitative RT-PCR. IRF1 induction of H4ac was evaluated using D54MG cells overexpressing IRF1. IRF1 protein interactions were studied using co-immunoprecipitation assays. IRF1-dependent recruitment of histone acetyltransferases to target genes was examined by ChIP assays using p300 antibody. Flow cytometry data showed significantly increased H4K5, H4K8, H4K12, and H4K16 acetylation in SLE monocytes. HDAC3 and HDAC11 gene expression were decreased in SLE monocytes. PCAF showed significantly higher gene expression in SLE than controls. IRF1-overexpressing D54MG cells were associated with significantly increased H4K5, H4K8, and H4K12 acetylation compared to vector-control D54MG cells both globally and at specific target genes. Co-immunoprecipitation studies using D54MG cells revealed IRF1 protein-protein interactions with PCAF, P300, CBP, GCN5, ATF2, and HDAC3. ChIP experiments demonstrated increased p300 recruitment to known IRF1 targets in D54MG cells overexpressing IRF1. In contrast, p300 binding to IRF1 targets decreased in D54MG cells with IRF1 knockdown. SLE appears to be associated with an imbalance in histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylase enzymes favoring pathologic H4 acetylation. Furthermore, IRF1 directly interacts with chromatin modifying enzymes, supporting a model where recruitment to specific target genes is mediated in part by IRF1. 相似文献

Nuclear core histone modifications influence chromosome structures and functions. Recently, the involvement of histone acetylations in the cell memory of gene expression has been suggested in mouse oocyte maturation. At present, there is little available data on histone modifications in mammalian oocyte maturation. In the present study, we examined changes in the acetylation of histone H3 lysines 9 (H3K9) and 14 (H3K14), and histone H4 lysines 5 (H4K5), 8 (H4K8) and 12 (H4K12), and trimethylation of H3K9 during in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes. Immunocytochemical analyses revealed that the all of the lysines examined were highly acetylated in the germinal vesicle stage, and this level of acetylation was maintained until the first prometaphase. In the first metaphase, the lysines near the N-terminal end, H3K9 and H4K5, were completely deacetylated. The acetylation of the lysines far from the N-terminal end, H3K14, H4K8, and H4K12, was markedly decreased but still present. The acetylations were increased transiently at the first anaphase and telophase, and then decreased again at the second metaphase to the same level as the first metaphase. Since effective concentrations of trichostatin A (TSA) to inhibit the deacetylation were different in various lysine residues, multiple histone deacetylases (HDACs) were suggested to function during meiotic maturation. The trimethylation of H3K9 was maintained in a high level throughout maturation. These results suggest that the histone acetylation during porcine oocyte maturation is precisely controlled by the cell cycle. 相似文献

Human and mouse cells in culture were treated with various concentrations of sodium butyrate. Acid-extracted histones of control and butyrate-treated cells were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. All core histones of the control cells contained modified forms. All core histones of the butyrate-treated cells were hyperacetylated. Depending on the number of acetylation sites per molecule, each histone or histone variant exhibited a characteristic number of acetylated forms. This number was the same for each histone common in human and mouse cells treated with butyrate. Histones 2A.1, 2A.2, and 2A.X have two sites of inner acetylation; 2A.Z has 3; 2B's have 5; and each one of the H3 variants as well as H4 have 4. 相似文献

Several recent reports have identified lysine 56 (K56) as a novel site of acetylation in yeast histone H3. K56 acetylation is predicted to disrupt some of the histone-DNA interactions at the entry and exit points of the nucleosome core particle. This modification occurs in virtually all the newly synthesised histones that are deposited into chromatin during S-phase. Cells with mutations that block K56 acetylation show increased genome instability and hypersensitivity to genotoxic agents that interfere with replication. Removal of K56 acetylation takes place in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and is dependent upon Hst3 and Hst4, two proteins that are related to the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase Sir2. In response to DNA damage checkpoint activation during S-phase, expression of Hst3/Hst4 is delayed to extend the window of opportunity in which K56 acetylation can act in the DNA damage response. The high abundance of histone H3 K56 acetylation, its regulation and strategic location in the nucleosome core particle raise a number of fascinating issues that we discuss here. 相似文献
