PG - 202-206 LID - 10.1691/ph.2018.7342 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether there are aberrant acetylation modifications in global histone and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) promoter in monocytes from patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and demonstrate the potential mechanisms. METHODS: CD14+ monocytes were isolated from 13 patients with CAD and 18 confirmed non-CAD controls using magnetic beads. Global histone H3/H4 acetylation and H3K4/H3K27 tri-methylation levels were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Quantitative real time-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression levels of MCP-1 and enzymes involved in histone modification processes. Histone modification levels in MCP-1 promoter were assessed by ChIP-qPCR assay. RESULTS: Our results showed a markedly lower global histone H3 acetylation level in monocytes from CAD patients. Global H3K27 tri-methylation level was significantly increased in monocytes from CAD patients. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of epigenetic modification enzymes HDAC3, SIRT1, P300, JMJD3 and SUV39H1 were decreased significantly in monocytes from CAD patients, while HDAC7 mRNA expression level was markedly increased. MCP-1 mRNA expression level was increased histone H3/H4 acetylation levels in MCP-1 promoter were markedly increased in monocytes of CAD patients. CONCLUSION: Aberrant histone modifications, including acetylation and tri-methylation, were found both in global histone and specific MCP-1 gene locos in monocytes from patients with CAD. Aberrant epigenetic modification enzymes expressions may be the regulatory mechanism responsible for aberrant histone modifications.
