Glucocorticoids are known to induce or repress the expression of a wide variety of genes with roles in various biological processes such as the circadian clock and the stress response. We studied the changes in the levels of two histone H3 post-translational modifications associated with active chromatin, H3 trimethylated at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and H3 acetylated at lysines 9/14 (H3K9/14ac), that take place in the promoters of two glucocorticoid early response genes, Per1 and Sgk1, during their induction by the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone. Sgk1 mediates the effects of acute and chronic stress on the prefrontal cortex and other parts of the brain, while Per1 is a core circadian clock gene whose expression is strongly induced by the increased levels of blood-borne glucocorticoids that accompany acute and chronic stress. Here we show that dexamethasone rapidly increases the levels of H3K4me3 and H3K9/14ac in the promoters of both genes. Furthermore, the effect of dexamethasone on these genes, regarding both mRNA levels and the abundance of H3K4me3 and H3K9/14ac in their promoters, can be inhibited by the presence of nicotinamide, a metabolic molecule which has been shown to possess anxiolytic properties. 相似文献

Trimethylation of lysine 9 in histone H3 (H3K9me3) enrichment is a characteristic of pericentric heterochromatin. The hypothesis of a stepwise mechanism to establish and maintain this mark during DNA replication suggests that newly synthesized histone H3 goes through an intermediate methylation state to become a substrate for the histone methyltransferase Suppressor of variegation 39 (Suv39H1/H2). How this intermediate methylation state is achieved and how it is targeted to the correct place at the right time is not yet known. Here, we show that the histone H3K9 methyltransferase SetDB1 associates with the specific heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α)–chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF1) chaperone complex. This complex monomethylates K9 on non‐nucleosomal histone H3. Therefore, the heterochromatic HP1α–CAF1–SetDB1 complex probably provides H3K9me1 for subsequent trimethylation by Suv39H1/H2 in pericentric regions. The connection of CAF1 with DNA replication, HP1α with heterochromatin formation and SetDB1 for H3K9me1 suggests a highly coordinated mechanism to ensure the propagation of H3K9me3 in pericentric heterochromatin during DNA replication. 相似文献

Hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia are leading cause for the induction type 2 diabetes and the role of post-translational histone modifications in dysregulating the expression of genes has emerged as potential important contributor in the progression of disease. The paradoxical nature of histone H3-Lysine 4 and Lysine 9 mono-methylation (H3K4me1 and H3K9me1) in both gene activation and repression motivated us to elucidate the functional relationship of these histone modifications in regulating expression of genes under hyperglycaemic/hyperinsulinemic condition. Chromatin immunoprecipitation–microarray analysis (ChIP-chip) was performed with H3 acetylation, H3K4me1 and H3K9me1 antibody. CLUSTER analysis of ChIP-chip (Chromatin immunoprecipitation–microarray analysis) data showed that mRNA expression and H3 acetylation/H3K4me1 levels on genes were inversely correlated with H3K9me1 levels on the transcribed regions, after 30 min of insulin stimulation under hyperglycaemic condition. Interestingly, we provide first evidence regarding regulation of histone de/acetylases and de/methylases; Myst4, Jmjd2b, Aof1 and Set by H3Ac, H3K4me1 and H3K9me1 under hyperinsulinemic/hyperglycaemic condition. ChIP–qPCR analysis shows association of increased H3Ac/H3K4me1 and decreased levels of H3K9me1 in up regulation of Myst4, Jmjd2, Set and Aof1 genes. We further analyse promoter occupancy of histone modifications by ChIP walking and observed increased occupancy of H3Ac/H3K4me1 on promoter region (−1000 to −1) of active genes and H3K9me1 on inactive genes under hyperglycemic/hyperinsulinemic condition. To best of our knowledge this is the first report that shows regulation of chromatin remodelling genes by alteration in the occupancy of histone H3Ac/H3K4/K9me on both promoter and transcribed regions. 相似文献

Defective autophagy and lipotoxicity are the hallmarks of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, the precise molecular mechanism for the defective autophagy in lipotoxic conditions is not fully known. In the current study, we elucidated that activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1)–G9a–H3K9me2 axis in fatty acid–induced lipotoxicity blocks autophagy by repressing key autophagy genes. The fatty acid–treated cells show mTORC1 activation, increased histone methyltransferase G9a levels, and suppressed autophagy as indicated by increased accumulation of the key autophagic cargo SQSTM1/p62 and decreased levels of autophagy-related proteins LC3II, Beclin1, and Atg7. Our chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that decrease in autophagy was associated with increased levels of the G9a-mediated repressive H3K9me2 mark and decreased RNA polymerase II occupancy at the promoter regions of Beclin1 and Atg7 in fatty acid–treated cells. Inhibition of mTORC1 in fatty acid–treated cells decreased G9a-mediated H3K9me2 occupancy and increased polymerase II occupancy at Beclin1 and Atg7 promoters. Furthermore, mTORC1 inhibition increased the expression of Beclin1 and Atg7 in fatty acid–treated cells and decreased the accumulation of SQSTM1/p62. Interestingly, the pharmacological inhibition of G9a alone in fatty acid–treated cells decreased the H3K9me2 mark at Atg7 and Beclin1 promoters and restored the expression of Atg7 and Beclin1. Taken together, our findings have identified the mTORC1–G9a–H3K9me2 axis as a negative regulator of the autophagy pathway in hepatocellular lipotoxicity and suggest that the G9a-mediated epigenetic repression is mechanistically a key step during the repression of autophagy in lipotoxic conditions. 相似文献

Epigenetic alterations occur in various cells and tissues during aging, but it is not known if such alterations are also associated with aging in skeletal muscle. Here, we examined the changes of a panel of histone modifications and found H3K27ac (an active enhancer mark) is markedly increased in aged human skeletal muscle tissues. Further analyses uncovered that the H3K27ac increase and enhancer activation are associated with the up‐regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes; this may result in alteration of the niche environment for skeletal muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells (SCs), which causes decreased myogenic potential and fibrogenic conversion of SCs. In mice, treatment of aging muscles with JQ1, an inhibitor of enhancer activation, inhibited the ECM up‐regulation and fibrogenic conversion of SCs and restored their myogenic differentiation potential. Altogether, our findings not only uncovered a novel aspect of skeletal muscle aging that is associated with enhancer remodeling but also implicated JQ1 as a potential treatment approach for restoring SC function in aging muscle. 相似文献

Objective: To investigate the dynamic variation in H3K4me3 and HP1 with employment length in nickel smelting workers.
Methods: Blood samples were collected from 140 nickel smelting workers and 140 age-matched office workers to test for H3K4me3, and HP1 levels.
Results: H3K4me3 was statistically significantly different (p?<?0.05) between the two groups and positively correlated with employment length (rs?=?0.267). HP1 was not correlated with employment length (p?=?0.066) but was significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusions: Chronic exposure to nickel can induce oxidative damage, and increase H3K4me3 expression and inhibit HP1 expression. 相似文献

Inhibitor of growth 1 (ING1) is implicated in oncogenesis, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. Mutations within the ING1 gene and altered expression levels of ING1 are found in multiple human cancers. Here, we show that both DNA repair and apoptotic activities of ING1 require the interaction of the C-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger with histone H3 trimethylated at Lys4 (H3K4me3). The ING1 PHD finger recognizes methylated H3K4 but not other histone modifications as revealed by the peptide microarrays. The molecular mechanism of the histone recognition is elucidated based on a 2.1 Å-resolution crystal structure of the PHD-H3K4me3 complex. The K4me3 occupies a deep hydrophobic pocket formed by the conserved Y212 and W235 residues that make cation-π contacts with the trimethylammonium group. Both aromatic residues are essential in the H3K4me3 recognition, as substitution of these residues with Ala disrupts the interaction. Unlike the wild-type ING1, the W235A mutant, overexpressed in the stable clones of melanoma cells or in HT1080 cells, was unable to stimulate DNA repair after UV irradiation or promote DNA-damage-induced apoptosis, indicating that H3K4me3 binding is necessary for these biological functions of ING1. Furthermore, N216S, V218I, and G221V mutations, found in human malignances, impair the ability of ING1 to associate with H3K4me3 or to induce nucleotide repair and cell death, linking the tumorigenic activity of ING1 with epigenetic regulation. Together, our findings reveal the critical role of the H3K4me3 interaction in mediating cellular responses to genotoxic stresses and offer new insight into the molecular mechanism underlying the tumor suppressive activity of ING1. 相似文献
