Nitric oxide regulates gene expression in cancers by controlling histone posttranslational modifications [HiSeq 2000]

ABSTRACT: Dynamic changes in histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are important regulators of chromatin structure and gene transcription in both normal and disease settings. Herein, we describe a novel signaling mechanism of nitric oxide (â¢NO) by demonstrating its ability to modulate gene expression via alteration of histone PTMs. Having established that â¢NO exposure induced differential expression of approximately 6500 genes, we set out to determine if there was an epigenetic component to their regulation. â¢NO exposure led to alterations in the global levels of acetyl and methyl modifications at numerous lysine residues on core histones H3 and H4. Residues H3K9me2/ac were examined further and determined to have differential distribution at various loci throughout the genome in response to â¢NO. Changes in the enrichment levels of H3K9me2/ac at specific genes correlated with changes in the expression levels of their transcripts. Molecular mechanisms contributing to phenotypic outcomes in â¢NO-associated cancers remain to be well understood since traditional modes of â¢NO-signaling do not explain a large proportion of its impact on tumor cell behavior. Our results reveal that â¢NO drives a significant amount of gene expression changes epigenetically by changing the distribution of numerous histone marks. Cultured cells were treated with 500uM DETA/NO to examine the effects of a physiologically relevant â¢NO concentration on differential distribution of H3K9ac/H3K9me2. A total of two untreated biological replicates and two â¢NO-treated biological replicates were harvested. The untreated samples served as control against which comparisons were made to elucidate â¢NO-mediated changes in the histone landscape.

Altered nitric oxide (•NO) metabolism underlies cancer pathology, but mechanisms explaining many •NO-associated phenotypes remain unclear. We have found that cellular exposure to •NO changes histone posttranslational modifications (PTM) by directly inhibiting the catalytic activity of JmjC-domain containing histone demethylases. Herein, we describe how •NO exposure links modulation of histone PTMs to gene expression changes that promote oncogenesis. Through high-resolution mass spectrometry, we ...[more]

Project description:Identification and characterization of HP1BP3 (a human histone H1 homologue) as a novel chromatin retention factor essential for the co-transcriptional processing of pri-miRNA. We generated BAC transgenic cells at 80% confluency (~1x107) were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at 37Â°C, and quenched with 125 mM glycine at room temperature for 5 minutes. The fixed cells were washed twice with cold PBS, scraped, and transferred into 1 ml PBS containing protease inhibitors (Roche). After centrifugation at 700 g for 4 minutes at 4Â°C, the cell pellets were resuspended in 100 Î¼l ChIP lysis buffer (1% SDS, 10 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1] with protease inhibitors) and sonicated at 4Â°C with a Bioruptor (Diagenode) (30 seconds ON and 30 seconds OFF at highest power for 15 minutes). The sheared chromatin with a fragment length of ~200 â 600 bp) was centrifuged at 20,000 g for 15 minutes at 4Â°C). 100 Î¼l of the supernatant was used for ChIP or as input. A 1:10 dilution of the solubilized chromatin in ChIP dilution buffer (0.01% SDS, 1.1% Triton X-100, 1.2 mM EDTA, 167 mM NaCl 16.7 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1]) was incubated at 4Â°C overnight with 6 Î¼g/ml of a goat anti-GFP (raised against His-tagged full-length eGFP and affinity-purified with GST-tagged full-length eGFP). Immunoprecipitation was carried out by incubating with 40 Î¼l pre-cleared Protein G Sepharose beads (Amersham Bioscience) for 1 hour at 4Â°C, followed by five washes for 10 minutes with 1ml of the following buffers: Buffer I: 0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1], 150 mM NaCl; Buffer II: 0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1], 500 mM NaCl; Buffer III: 0.25 M LiCl, 1% NP-40, 1% deoxycholate, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1]; twice with TE buffer [pH 8.0]. Elution from the beads was performed twice with 100 Î¼l ChIP elution buffer (1% SDS, 0.1 M NaHCO3) at room temperature (RT) for 15 minutes. Protein-DNA complexes were de-crosslinked by heating at 65Â°C in 192 mM NaCl for 16 hours. DNA fragments were purified using QiaQuick PCR Purification kit (QIAGEN) and eluted into 30 Î¼l H2O according to the manufacturerâs protocol after treatment with RNase A and Proteinase K.

Project description:Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms take deterministic decisions to reprogram cell fates. A macroscopic manifestation of such an event is the remodelling of the cellsâ morphology and it typically is governed at the molecular scale by massive reorganization of the cellular transcriptome. With the regulation at the level of transcription initiation representing the most common form for such developmental reprogramming, cells typically rely on one or several master regulators to coordinate the the activity of hundreds of genes simultaneously by directly binding to their promoters. Despite the apparent simplicity of prokaryotes and their reduced genome size compared to that of their eukaryotic counterparts, free-living bacteria typically encode hundreds of transcription factors (TFs) in their genomes that could act as master TFs. By contrast, obligate intracellular bacteria such as Chlamydiae have a drastically reduced genome due to their intimate association with the host and thus a smaller number of TF genes. The genomes of members of the Chlamydiaceae family, which include the well-known bacterial pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae, are only 1-1.2 Mbp. By contrast, members of the environmental Chlamydiae Waddlia chondrophila and Parachlamydia acanthamoebae have a 2-fold and 3-fold larger genome, respectively, likely allowing for an expansion of the host range while still retaining their host dependence and parasitic life style. Moreover, they all exhibit a characteristic chlamydial developmental cycle via two functionally specialized morphotypes, the infectious non-dividing elementary bodies (EBs) and the non-infectious dividing reticulate bodies (RBs). This developmental cycle is usually divided in three stages: the early stage during which EBs enter host cells and differentiate into RBs; the mid-stage where RBs proliferate inside a vacuole called inclusion and the late stage where RBs differentiate back into EBs and are released after exocytosis or cell lysis. Chlamydial genes are thus classified into three different temporal classes (early, mid and late expressed genes), likely reflecting the need of these transcripts in each of the three developmental stages. W. chondrophila, an emerging pathogen implicated in abortion in bovine and miscarriage in humans, encodes less than 20 TFs, 10 of which are conserved among the Chlamydiae. In light of this low TF multiplicity in the chlamydial pan-genome along with the common developmental cycle and parasitic life style, we aimed to define the regulatory pan-genome of each these conserved TFs to identify the elusive chlamydial master regulator and to characterize underling specificity for its target promoters using chromatin-immunoprecipitation followed by deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) of chlamydial cells growing inside the host. The immunochemistry of ChIP-Seq has the advantage of minimizing the contaminating nucleic acids compared to chlamydial transcriptome studies, it has the added benefit of providing the first unambiguous glimpse into the regulatory landscape of a bacterium inside host, offering a solid framework in understanding the stochastic and/or deterministic switches that bacteria rely on during infections.
