Abstract

Butyric acid is well recognized as a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, and changes in histone acetylation are thought to alter gene expression. The mechanism by which sodium butyrate (NaB) induces p21^WAF1/CIP1^, a critical gene involved in the antiproliferative effect of NaB, was studied at the chromatin level. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, acetylation of histone H3 was observed at the proximal region of the promoter within 30 min of NaB exposure and this extended to the distal region within 2 hr. By contrast, histone H4 was acetylated both at the proximal and the distal regions of the promoter within 30 min. NaB did not influence other histone modifications. NaB stimulated recruitment of the transcription factors ZBP89 and Sp1 as well as GCN5, but did not influence recruitment of Sp3, HDAC1, p300, or CBP. As recruitment of HDAC1 to the promoter appeared not to account for NaB‐induced changes in histone acetylation, we aimed to influence HDAC activity by altering its phosphorylation status. The kinase inhibitor, H7, suppressed p21^WAF1/CIP1^ mRNA in both the absence and the presence of NaB without influencing the butyrate‐induced hyperacetylation of H3 and H4 associated with the p21^WAF1/CIP1^ promoter. These results suggest that acetylation of histones at the p21^WAF1/CIP1^ promoter is not sufficient for NaB to exert antiproliferative effects via transcription of the p21^WAF1/CIP1^ gene. Induction of p21^WAF1/CIP1^ transcription by the phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid, in the absence of changes in association of acetylated histones with the p21^WAF1/CIP1^ promoter provides further evidence of the importance of phosphorylation to p21^WAF1/CIP1^ transcription. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
