BACKGROUND: Fibrosis of the intestine is currently an irreversible complication
of inflammatory bowel disease; yet, little is understood of the underlying
pathogenesis and antifibrotic strategies remain elusive. To develop effective
therapies, knowledge of the mechanism of transcription and excessive deposition
of type I collagen, a hallmark of fibrosis, is needed. We have shown previously
that endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) contributes to the pool of
intestinal fibrotic cells and that a cytokine cocktail (interleukin 1-?, tumor
necrosis factor ?, and transforming growth factor ?) induces collagen I alpha 2
(COL1A2) mRNA and protein. METHODS: Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays on pure
cultures of human intestinal mucosal endothelial cells undergoing EndoMT were
performed with antibodies to specific histone modifications and RNA polymerase
II. Reverse transcriptase-PCR was used to quantify the levels of Col1A2 and
endothelial-specific von Willebrand factor (vWF) mRNA. RESULTS: We showed that
cytokines induce selective chromatin modifications (histone 4 hyperacetylation,
and hypermethylation of histone 3) and phosphorylated RNA polymerase II at the
COL1A2 promoter. Hypoacetylated and hypomethylated histone 3 was detected on the
repressed vWF gene. Prolonged exposure to cytokines (16 days) retained
hyperacetylation of select lysines in H4 on the COL1A2 promoter. Removal of
cytokines after 16 days and continued culture for 10 days showed persistent
hyperacetylation at lysine 16 in histone H4. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study
to show that COL1A2 gene expression is associated with cytokine-induced,
temporally ordered, and persistent chromatin modifications and suggests that
these are important determinants of gene expression in EndoMT and intestinal
fibrosis.
