Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of sodium butyrate(NaB) on phosphorylation/ acetylation of histone H3(ph/acH3) at G?-globin gene and A?-globin gene promoter regions in K562 cells.Methods K562 cells were devided into 2 groups:K562 cells were grown in the presence or absence of 0.5 mmol?L-1NaB for 48 h [K562(NaB) group] and untreated K562 cells group(K562 group).Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was employed to measure the levels of G?-globin mRNA and A?-globin mRNA.The real time PCR-based chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP) was used to detect the levels of ph/acH3 at G?-globin gene and A?-globin gene promoter regions.Results Compared with the K562 group,there was a 1.4-fold(t=-149.022,P=0.000) and 1.2-fold(t=-13.363,P=0.000) increase in G?-globin mRNA and A?-globin mRNA,respectively,in K562(NaB) group.The level of ph/acH3 at G?-globin gene and A?-globin gene promoter region increased by 2.9-fold(t=-12.833,P=0.006) and 3.2-fold(t=-10.484,P=0.000),respectively,in K562(NaB) group,compared with the K562 group.The %Input value of G?-globin and A?-globin promoter fragment was 10.0-fold(P=0.000) and 9.5-fold(P=0.000) higher than that value of Necdin gene promoter fragment in the K562(NaB) group,while the %Input value of G?-globin and A?-globin promoter fragment was 3.2-fold(P=0.000) and 2.7-fold(P=0.000) higher than that value of necdin gene promoter fragment in K562 group.Conclusions NaB improves the phosphorylation and acetylation of H3 at ?-globin gene promoter regions,and this may be one of the mechanisms of expression of ?-globin genes induced by NaB.
