Project description:DOT1L-catalyzed H3K79 methylation is a hallmark of actively transcribed genes and has been extensively studied in developmental and disease contexts. While DOT1L inhibition has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer, its role in pro-atherogenic endothelial inflammation remains unclear. To investigate this, we utilized an in vivo partial carotid artery ligation model and observed increased DOT1L expression and H3K79me3 level. Consistently, in vitro studies employing a 3D-printed human coronary artery model and TNF-α stimulation corroborated these results, showing elevated DOT1L expression and H3K79me3 deposition, while levels of H3K79me and me2 remained unchanged. Further analyses identified key DotCom complex components, AF10 and AF9 (upregulated) and AF17 (downregulated), as contributors to the enhanced H3K79me3 landscape. CUT&RUN sequencing showed prominent H3K79me3 enrichment at the RELA (NF-κB p65) promoter, corresponding with increased NF-κB p65 expression and activation. Notably, inhibition/knockdown of the methyltransferase DOT1L or overexpression of the demethylase FBXL10 significantly reduced H3K79me3 levels, thereby suppressing NF-κB p65 expression and attenuating endothelial inflammation, independent of canonical NF-κB p65 activation. These findings establish DOT1L-mediated H3K79me3 as a crucial epigenetic regulator of endothelial inflammation, highlighting a potential therapeutic avenue for mitigating NF-κB p65-driven pro-atherogenic endothelial dysfunction.

Project description:Many repetitive DNA elements are packaged in heterochromatin, but depend on occasional transcription to maintain long-term silencing. The factors that promote transcription of repeat elements in heterochromatin are largely unknown. Here, we show that DOT1L, a histone methyltransferase that modifies lysine 79 of histone H3 (H3K79), is required for transcription of major satellite repeats to maintain pericentromeric heterochromatin (PCH), and that this function is essential for preimplantation development. DOT1L is a transcriptional activator at single-copy genes but does not have a known role in repeat element transcription. We show that H3K79me3 is specifically enriched at repetitive elements, that loss of DOT1L compromises pericentromeric major satellite transcription, and that this function depends on interaction between DOT1L and the chromatin remodeler SMARCA5. DOT1L inhibition causes chromosome breaks and cell cycle defects, and leads to embryonic lethality. Together, our findings uncover a vital new role for DOT1L in transcriptional activation of heterochromatic repeats.
