Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors can induce transcriptional
activation of a number of genes and induce cellular differentiation as
histone acetylation levels increase. Although these inhibitors induce
apoptosis in several cell lines, the precise mechanism by which they do
so remains obscure. This study shows that HDAC inhibitors, sodium
butyrate and trichostatin A (TSA), abrogate interleukin
(IL)-2-mediated gene expression in IL-2-dependent cells. The HDAC
inhibitors readily induced apoptosis in IL-2-dependent ILT-Mat cells
and BAF-B03 transfectants expressing the IL-2 receptor Transcriptional regulation is a major event
in cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Transcriptional
activation of a set of genes determines cell destination and for this
reason transcription is tightly regulated by a variety of factors. One of its regulatory mechanisms involved in the process is an alteration in the tertiary structure of DNA, which affects transcription by
modulating an accessibility of transcription factors to their target
DNA segments.1 Nucleosomal integrity is regulated by the
acetylation status of the core histones. In a hypoacetylated state,
nucleosomes are tightly compacted and thus are nonpermissive for
transcription. On the other hand, nucleosomes are relaxed by
acetylation of the core histones, with the result being permissiveness to transcription.2 The acetylation status of the histones
is governed by the balance of the activities of histone acetyl
transferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC).
Recently, HDAC inhibitors, sodium butyrate and trichostatin A (TSA),
have been found to arrest growth and apoptosis in several types of
cancer cells, including colon cancer, T-cell lymphoma, and
erythroleukemic cells.3-5 Given that apoptosis is a
crucial factor for cancer progression,6,7 these HDAC
inhibitors are promising reagents for cancer therapy as effective
inducers of apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the
HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis remain to be elucidated.
Several reports have suggested that HDAC inhibitor-treated cells
undergo apoptosis as a terminal event in differentiation and
maturation, based on the fact that inhibition of HDAC leads to
histone hyperacetylation and transcriptional activation of
several genes related to differentiation.8-10 In contrast,
butyrate blocks the primary mechanisms involved in signal transduction,
such as the release of Ca++ from intracellular stores and
activation of serine/threonine kinases, and down-regulates expression
of the c-myc gene.11,12 These data raise the
possibility that inhibition of the cell survival signals may contribute
to HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis.
We thus investigated the effects of HDAC inhibitors on
cytokine-mediated cell survival signals. We first studied the apoptotic effect of HDAC inhibitors using a variety of hematopoietic cells and
found that interleukin (IL)-2-dependent cells demonstrated the highest
sensitivity to HDAC inhibitors and readily went into apoptosis in
response to the inhibitors. Interestingly, HDAC inhibitors increased
histone acetylation at similar levels in both IL-2-dependent and
IL-2-independent cells, despite their different sensitivity to the
inhibitors. This suggests that histone hyperacetylation alone does not
account for their apoptotic effect. We thus focused on the biologic
effects of HDAC inhibitors on IL-2-mediated signals, which are known
to mediate cell survival signals in IL-2-dependent cells. In this
report, we observed that sodium butyrate and TSA strongly suppressed
IL-2-mediated gene expression prior to induction of apoptosis in 2 IL-2-dependent hematopoietic cell lines, ILT-Mat and BAF-B03
transfectant F7. Because they did not affect the IL-2-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2, Jak1, and STAT5, HDAC inhibitors appear to suppress IL-2-mediated gene expression selectively. These
findings suggest that abrogation of IL-2-mediated gene expression may
contribute to HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis in hematopoietic cells.
Reagents and cell culture
DNA isolation and agarose gel electrophoresis
Histone preparation and gel fractionation Histones were prepared by a modification of a previously described method.14 Cells (5 × 106) were exposed to sodium butyrate for 18 hours and washed twice in PBS. Cells were lysed by Dounce homogenization in 1 mL ice-cold lysis buffer (10 mmol/L Tris pH 8, 50 mmol/L NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 10 mmol/L MgCl2, 8.6% sucrose, and 0.5 mmol/L dithiothreitol), and nuclei were collected by centrifugation for 5 minutes at 6000 rpm in a microcentrifuge. Sulfuric acid was added to a concentration of 0.4 N and the resultant supernatant was collected. Histones were precipitated by addition of 10 volumes of acetone and incubation at 20°C
overnight. Histone acetylation was evaluated by fractionating histones
on acid/urea/acrylamide gels. Gels were fixed and stained in 0.25%
Coomassie blue/10% acetic acid/40% methanol.
Annexin V detection Translocation of the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine from the inner face of the plasma membrane to the cell surface was detected by binding of annexin V according to the manufacturer's protocol15 (ApoAlert Annexin V Apoptosis Kit, Clontech, Palo Alto, CA). ILT-Mat cells were treated with 200 nmol/L of TSA for the indicated hours and 10 000 cells were analyzed by FACS.Northern blot analysis Total RNAs were extracted from the treated cell lines by the acid guanidium thiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method. Ten micrograms of the total RNAs was separated by 1% agarose formaldehyde gel electrophoresis and transferred onto nitrocellulose filters. The filters were hybridized with 32P-labeled complementary DNA (cDNA) fragments as probes: the full-length of the human c-myc,16 the 0.6-kb 5'-end of LC-PTP17 and the full-length of bag-118 cDNA fragments. The hybridization was performed under the condition of 50% formamide, 2 × standard sodium citrate (SSC) (1 × SSC is 150 mmo/L NaCl/15 mmol/L trisodium citrate), 2.5 × Denhart's solution, 0.1% SDS, 2.5% dextran sulfate, and denatured salmon testes DNA (100 µg/mL). The filters were washed with 2 × SSC at 50°C.Western blot analysis The ILT-Mat cells were washed with cold PBS and lysed in 100 µL of a buffer containing 100 mmol/L NaCl, 2 mmol/L EDTA, 10 mmol/L sodium orthovanadate, 1 mmol/L phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), 1% NP-40, and 50 mmol/L Tris (pH 7.2). Protein concentrations of the lysates were analyzed by the Protein Assay kit (BioRad, Melville, NY) and each lysate was immunoprecipitated with anti-SHP-2,19 anti-Jak1 (Transduction Laboratory, Lexington, KY), or anti-STAT5A (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) antibody. The immunoprecipitates were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), followed by electrophoretic transfer onto Immobilon (Millipore, Bedford, MA). The blots were incubated with blocking buffer containing 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA), 10 mmol/L Tris (pH 8.2), 140 mmol/L NaCl, and 0.01% NaN3. Then, they were incubated with either 1 µg/mL of anti-SHP-2, anti-Jak1, anti-STAT5A, or antiphosphotyrosine antibody 4G10 (Upstate Biotechnology, Lake Placid, NY) for 2 hours in washing solution 150 mmol/L NaCl, 10 mmol/L Tris (pH 7.5) and 0.01% Tween20 with 2% FCS, and washed several times in washing solution, followed by an additional 1 hour of incubation with peroxidase-conjugated antirabbit IgG or antimouse IgG antibody (Amersham Life Sciences, Arlington Heights, IL). The blots were developed by a standard ECL method.
Sodium butyrate induces apoptosis in ILT-Mat cells Sodium butyrate inhibits proliferation of cancer cell lines and induces expression of genes associated with maturation in a given cell lineage, with the ultimate result being apoptosis.20-22 To investigate the mechanism by which sodium butyrate induces apoptosis, we first examined its effect on cell viability using a variety of hematopoietic cell lines. In our experiments, we found that sensitivity to sodium butyrate varied among the cell lines examined (data not shown), with the human IL-2-dependent leukemia cell line, ILT-Mat, showing the highest sensitivity to the inhibitor. When ILT-Mat cells were cultured with sodium butyrate for 48 hours, cell viability was substantially reduced in a dose-dependent manner. Exposure of more than 0.5 mmol/L sodium butyrate significantly reduced cell viability of ILT-Mat cells (Figure 1A). Confirmation of the induction of apoptosis can be attained by internucleosomal fragmentation of the DNA. Electrophoresis of the low molecular weight DNA prepared from butyrate-treated ILT-Mat cells showed substantial DNA fragmentation, with the amount increasing in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 1B). We confirmed cellular morphologic changes in the butyrate-treated cells, which exhibited a shrunken cell shape characteristic of apoptosis (data not shown). We then examined the time course for butyrate-induced apoptosis. ILT-Mat cells treated with 1 mmol/L sodium butyrate gradually reduced cell viability and at day 3 of the treatment approximately 80% of the cells exhibited cell death (Figure 1C). All of these findings indicated that sodium butyrate strongly induced apoptosis in ILT-Mat cells and that a concentration as low as 0.5 mmol/L butyrate was sufficient for induction of apoptosis.
TSA induces apoptosis in ILT-Mat cells Sodium butyrate has pleiotropic effects aside from inhibition of HDAC. Thus, we next investigated the apoptotic effect of a specific HDAC inhibitor, TSA.23 Exposure of more than 100 nmol/L TSA for 48 hours markedly reduced viability of ILT-Mat cells (Figure 2A). TSA-treated cells showed a substantial amount of DNA fragmentation, and the amount increased in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 2B). When ILT-Mat cells were incubated with 100 nmol/L TSA for 2 days, the treated cells exhibited a substantial amount of DNA fragmentation. These findings indicate that these 2 HDAC inhibitors strongly induce apoptosis in ILT-Mat cells.
Sodium butyrate and TSA did not induce apoptosis substantially in K562 cells Although sodium butyrate is a nontoxic natural product and is normally found in the large intestine, the possibility remains that a high concentration of sodium butyrate and the synthetic compound TSA may represent nonspecific toxicity to these cells. To evaluate whether HDAC inhibitors induce apoptosis through their nonspecific toxic effects, we examined further the apoptotic effects of these inhibitors in human erythroleukemia K562 cells, which grow independently of IL-2. Treatment with 2 mmol/L sodium butyrate or 500 nmol/L TSA for 2 days did not induce cell death substantially in K562 cells (Figure 3A), indicating that HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis in ILT-Mat cells was not due to their nonspecific toxic effects at the concentration used in the present study.
Hyperacetylation of histones was similarly observed in ILT-Mat and K562 cells To explore the correlation between HDAC inhibitor-mediated apoptosis and histone hyperacetylation, we investigated the level of histone acetylation in ILT-Mat and K562 cells after the treatment with sodium butyrate. Isolated histones were fractionated on acid/urea/polyacrylamide gels, and visualized by staining with Coomassie blue. The H4 band at the bottom of each lane represents unacetylated H4, which was predominantly found in untreated cells. In ILT-Mat cells treated with 0.5 mmol/L butyrate, there was a modest increase in H4 acetylation, and treatment with 2 mmol/L butyrate resulted in a clear accumulation of diacetylated and triacetylated H4 (Figure 3B). In contrast to the fact that K562 cells did not show a significant loss of viability in response to treatment with 0.5 mmol/L butyrate, the treatment clearly increased the accumulation of acetylated H4 (Figure 3). A similar effect was found in TSA-treated cells (data not shown). The above findings strongly suggest that histone hyperacetylation is not directly linked to HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis.Sodium butyrate and TSA block IL-2-mediated gene expression The preferential effect of HDAC inhibitors on apoptosis in IL-2-dependent ILT-Mat cells led us to consider that the inhibitors may affect IL-2-mediated signaling. Numerous studies have investigated intracellular signal transductions mediated through the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R). There are at least 2 functional regions in the IL-2R c chain. The acidic (A) region is required for induction of
c-fos /c-jun gene expressions.24 The
serine-rich (S) region is a crucial site for association with
Syk25 and Jak1,26 and is essential for the
induction of c-myc gene expression and for subsequent cellular proliferation.27 To explore the mechanism(s)
underlying HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis, we investigated their
effects on IL-2-mediated gene expression. We initially investigated
whether HDAC inhibitors affected the S region-mediated IL-2 signal via an induction of c-myc gene expression. When cells were
deprived of IL-2 for 24 hours and then restimulated with IL-2 for 1 hour, a substantial increase in c-myc messenger RNA (mRNA)
levels was observed in control cells. In contrast, in cells treated
with either butyrate or TSA for 30 minutes before IL-2 stimulation, no
induction of c-myc mRNA expression was observed (Figure
4A).
We then investigated the effects of HDAC inhibitors on the A
region-mediated signal and the S region-mediated antiapoptotic signal,
both of which are different from the signal responsible for
c-myc gene induction. We previously demonstrated that IL-2 stimulation increases the mRNA levels of the cytoplasmic tyrosine phosphatase LC-PTP and the antiapoptotic protein
bag-1 genes. These increases in mRNAs became detectable
within 3 hours and peaked at 6 to 9 hours after IL-2
stimulation.28,29 We also showed that the expression of
these 2 genes was induced differently through 2 separate signaling
pathways. Specifically, the mRNA expressions of LC-PTP and
bag-1 required the presence of the A and the S regions
within the IL-2R HDAC inhibitors did not affect c-myc and LC-PTP mRNA stability To preliminary explore the mechanisms for suppression of IL-2-mediated gene expression, we investigated effects of HDAC inhibitors on c-myc and LC-PTP mRNA stability. To inhibit new transcription, actinomycin D was added to ILT-Mat cells that had been stimulated with IL-2 for 1 hour. Then, decay of c-myc mRNA levels was monitored either in the presence or absence of the HDAC inhibitors. Exposure of TSA or sodium butyrate to ILT-Mat cells did not virtually affect decay of the c-myc transcripts (Figure 4B). Similarly, there was no difference in decay of LC-PTP transcripts between TSA-treated cells and control cells, indicating that HDAC inhibitors did not affect the stability of these mRNAs.HDAC inhibitors abrogated the IL-2-mediated gene expression prior to phosphatidylserine externalization To exclude the possibility that abrogation of the IL-2-mediated gene expression was caused by HDAC inhibitors-induced cell damage, we investigated phosphatidylserine externalization (PE) in ILT-Mat cells treated with TSA. PE occurs in apoptotic cells at the early stage and thus is useful as an early detection signal of apoptosis. When ILT-Mat cells were exposed to 200 nmol/L TSA for 27 hours, PE began to increase and reached a point whereby at 36 hours after the exposure, more than 65% of the treated cells demonstrated PE (Figure 5A). In contrast, ILT-Mat cells exposed to 200 nmol/L TSA for 18 hours showed no distinct PE, indicating that the HDAC inhibitors abrogated the IL-2-mediated gene expression prior to induction of apoptosis.
HDAC inhibitors did not affect IL-2-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2, Jak1, and STAT5 To explore further how HDAC inhibitors abrogate IL-2-mediated gene expression, we then investigated whether HDAC inhibitors affected IL-2-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation. In a previous study, we showed that the cytoplasmic tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-2, is phosphorylated in response to IL-2 on tyrosine residues by Src family kinases through the A region of the IL-2R c chain.30 When ILT-Mat cells were
deprived of IL-2 for 24 hours and thereafter stimulated with IL-2,
SHP-2 and its associated p90 and p130 proteins were immediately
tyrosine phosphorylated (Figure 5B). Neither the addition of butyrate
nor TSA before IL-2 stimulation affected the elevation of tyrosine
phosphorylation levels in SHP-2 and its associated proteins. We also
investigated whether HDAC inhibitors affected tyrosine phosphorylation
of Jak1 and STAT5A in response to IL-2. Tyrosine phosphorylation of
these proteins requires the S region within the IL-2R c
chain.26,27 The addition of butyrate or TSA did not
inhibit the elevation of tyrosine phosphorylation levels in Jak1 and
STAT5 (Figure 5C). These findings indicated that the HDAC inhibitors
did not affect the activation of Src and Jak family tyrosine kinases
nor subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2 and STAT5. In turn,
this implies that the HDAC inhibitors affected the IL-2-mediated
signals at a level further downstream of Src/Jak family
tyrosine kinases.
Sodium butyrate and TSA block IL-2-mediated gene expression in BAF
cells that express IL-2R c chain. Exposure of less than 2 mmol/L butyrate or 100 nmol/L
TSA for 48 hours markedly reduced the viability of F7 cells (Figure
6A,B). Cells treated with HDAC inhibitors
for 28 hours showed a substantial amount of DNA fragmentation (Figure 6C). The above findings indicated that the IL-2-dependent F7 cells showed a high sensitivity to HDAC inhibitors as the ILT-Mat cells did.
To investigate the effect of TSA on IL-2-mediated gene expression in
F7 cells, the cells were first deprived of IL-2 for 18 hours and then
restimulated with IL-2 for 1 to 6 hours. As in the ILT-Mat cells, the
F7 cells treated with 200 nmol/L TSA for 30 minutes prior to IL-2
stimulation showed no induction of c-myc mRNA expression (Figure 7A). To examine whether HDAC
inhibitors specifically affect IL-2-mediated gene expression, we
analyzed the effect of a representative apoptotic inducer ara-C on
induction of c-myc mRNA in F7 cells. More than 80% of cells
treated with 100 µmol/L ara-C for 48 hours revealed cell death (data
not shown); however, exposure of ara-C for 30 minutes prior to IL-2
stimulation did not affect induction of c-myc mRNA
expression (Figure 7A). In addition, treatment with 50 to 200 nmol/L
TSA almost completely abrogated the induction of LC-PTP mRNAs (Figure
7B). The above results imply that abrogation of the IL-2-mediated gene
expression may be a unique event in HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptotic
cells and may be commonly observed in IL-2-dependent cells.
The present findings demonstrated that HDAC inhibitors strongly induced apoptosis in IL-2-dependent hematopoietic cells, whereas they induced apoptosis much less strongly in cytokine-independent cells. Inhibition of HDAC generally leads to histone hyperacetylation and a conformational change and ultimately to a relaxation of nuclear DNA.8,23 The relaxed form of nuclear DNA appears to be easily catalyzed by endonucleases, and thus these cells readily undergo apoptosis. The different apoptosis sensitivity to HDAC inhibitors may be caused by different acetylation levels of histones. However, histone hyperacetylation alone could not have accounted for the HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis, given that the butyrate-treated K562 cells demonstrated a substantial increase in H4 acetylation at a similar level as the same-treated ILT-Mat cells, whereas the K562 cells did not undergo apoptosis markedly. This leads us to conclude that HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis is not always linked to histone hyperacetylation and that other molecular events may be involved in the process. To date, the understanding of how HDAC inhibitors induce apoptosis has been poor. In the present study, 2 HDAC inhibitors strongly suppressed the IL-2-mediated induction of gene expression. In contrast, a strong apoptotic inducer ara-C did not affect the gene expression. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of TSA correlated well with its proapoptotic effect, given that 50 nmol/L TSA substantially induced apoptosis and suppressed the IL-2-mediated LC-PTP gene expression in F7 cells, whereas the same treatment did not markedly affect either cell viability or its gene expression in ILT-Mat cells. In contrast, treatment with 200 nmol/L TSA abrogated the IL-2-mediated LC-PTP gene expression and induced a substantial level of cell death (87 ± 5.6%) in ILT-Mat cells. Given that IL-2-mediated gene expression is required for survival of IL-2-dependent cells, the above findings suggest that its abrogation may contribute to HDAC inhibitor-induced apoptosis. However, we are nevertheless not able to exclude the possibility that other molecular events may also be involved in the apoptotic process induced by HDAC inhibitors. Recent findings have indicated that transcription is generally up-regulated as the levels of acetylated histones increase as mentioned above.1,2 In particular, TSA has been reported to increase the expression of gelsolin, histone H1, cytokeratin A, c-fos, c-myc, hsp70, and HDAC mRNAs.30-35 However, several studies have demonstrated that TSA down-regulates the expression of cytokine IL-2, IL-8, and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57Kip2 mRNAs.35-37 Thus, HDAC inhibitors are believed to modulate gene expression either positively or negatively in a gene-specific manner. In addition to these findings, the present study has demonstrated the negative effects of HDAC inhibitors on IL-2-mediated signalings. Although HDAC inhibitors broadly suppressed IL-2-mediated gene expression, for example, c-myc, LC-PTP, and bag-1 mRNAs, they did not affect the stability of these transcripts. Moreover, they did not suppress an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation levels of SHP-2, Jak1, and STAT5 in response to IL-2 stimulation. In this regard, HDAC inhibitors may selectively inhibit transcriptional machinery in the IL-2-mediated signalings. Although the precise mechanism by which HDAC inhibitors abrogate IL-2-mediated gene expression remains to be elucidated, the results of the present study and those of past studies suggest the possibility of several mechanisms. First, IL-2-mediated gene expression may be sensitive to histone hyperacetylation, and thus preferentially suppressed by HDAC inhibitors. Secondly, the observed abrogation may be caused by hyperacetylation of transcription factors or molecules that participate in IL-2-mediated signaling. In particular, CBP (CREB-binding protein) has been reported to acetylate the transcription factor, TCF, resulting in repression of TCF function.38 Finally, the abrogation may be caused by an inhibition of intracellular signaling processes. The present findings suggest that HDAC inhibitors elicit apoptosis in IL-2-dependent cells via an inhibition of cell survival signals. Because TSA inhibits the IL-2 mRNA expression36 and IL-2-mediated gene expression, as the present study observed, TSA appears to be a strong inducer of apoptosis in T cells, and thus may be a good candidate as a therapeutic agent for T-cell malignancy. We propose that HDAC inhibitors should be included in trial studies to investigate whether they are useful for the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies, given that hematopoietic cells require cytokine-mediated signals for their survival and proliferation.
