PPAR? activation induces N(?)-Lys-acetylation of rat liver peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme type 1.

ABSTRACT: Peroxisomes are ubiquitous subcellular organelles that participate in metabolic and disease processes, with few of its proteins undergoing posttranslational modifications. As the role of lysine-acetylation has expanded into the cellular intermediary metabolism, we used a combination of differential centrifugation, organelle isolation by linear density gradient centrifugation, western blot analysis, and peptide fingerprinting and amino acid sequencing by mass spectrometry to investigate protein acetylation in control and ciprofibrate-treated rat liver peroxisomes. Organelle protein samples isolated by density gradient centrifugation from PPAR?-agonist treated rat liver screened with an anti-N(?)-acetyl lysine antibody revealed a single protein band of 75 kDa. Immunoprecipitation with this antibody resulted in the precipitation of a protein from the protein pool of ciprofibrate-induced peroxisomes, but not from the protein pool of non-induced peroxisomes. Peptide mass fingerprinting analysis identified the protein as the peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme type 1. In addition, mass spectrometry-based amino acid sequencing resulted in the identification of unique peptides containing 4 acetylated-Lys residues (K¹??, K¹?³, K¹??, and K??³). This is the first report that demonstrates posttranslational acetylation of a peroxisomal enzyme in PPAR?-dependent proliferation of peroxisomes in rat liver.

Project description:Epidemiological studies demonstrate a clear association of adverse intrauterine environment with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease in adulthood. Hypoxia is a common stress to the fetus and results in decreased protein kinase C epsilon (PKCepsilon) expression in the heart and increased cardiac vulnerability to ischemia and reperfusion injury in adult offspring in rats.The present study tested the hypothesis that fetal hypoxia-induced methylation of cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotides at the PKCepsilon promoter is repressive and contributes to PKCepsilon gene repression in the heart of adult offspring.Hypoxic treatment of pregnant rats from days 15 to 21 of gestation resulted in significant decreases in PKCepsilon protein and mRNA in fetal hearts. Similar results were obtained in ex vivo hypoxic treatment of isolated fetal hearts and rat embryonic ventricular myocyte cell line H9c2. Increased methylation of PKCepsilon promoter at SP1 binding sites, -346 and -268, were demonstrated in both fetal hearts of maternal hypoxia and H9c2 cells treated with 1% O(2) for 24 hours. Whereas hypoxia had no significant effect on the binding affinity of SP1 to the unmethylated sites in H9c2 cells, hearts of fetuses and adult offspring, methylation of both SP1 sites reduced SP1 binding. The addition of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine blocked the hypoxia-induced increase in methylation of both SP1 binding sites and restored PKCepsilon mRNA and protein to the control levels. In hearts of both fetuses and adult offspring, hypoxia-induced methylation of SP1 sites was significantly greater in males than in females, and decreased PKCepsilon mRNA was seen only in males. In fetal hearts, there was significantly higher abundance of estrogen receptor alpha and beta isoforms in females than in males. Both estrogen receptor alpha and beta interacted with the SP1 binding sites in the fetal heart, which may explain the sex differences in SP1 methylation in the fetal heart. Additionally, selective activation of PKCepsilon restored the hypoxia-induced cardiac vulnerability to ischemic injury in offspring.The findings demonstrate a direct effect of hypoxia on epigenetic modification of DNA methylation and programming of cardiac PKCepsilon gene repression in a sex-dependent manner, linking fetal hypoxia and pathophysiological consequences in the hearts of adult offspring.
