Inhibition of DNA methylation in the COL1A2 promoter by anacardic acid prevents UV-Induced decrease of type i procollagen expression
Open accessAbstract
UV radiation decreases type I procollagen production mainly by inhibiting the transforming growth factor-β/Smad signaling pathway. Because further epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are unclear, we investigated the roles of DNA methylation and histone acetylation in UV-induced regulation of COL1A2 transcription in human dermal fibroblasts. Anacardic acid, a p300 histone acetyltransferase inhibitor, rescued the UV-induced decrease of type I procollagen expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Although UV irradiation induced global histone acetylation, it reduced the local recruitment of histone H3 acetylation as well as p300, and Smad2/3 to the p300 binding site (-1406/-1393), in the COL1A2 promoter as shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation. This effect was reversed by anacardic acid treatment. In contrast, pyrosequencing analysis showed that UV irradiation induced DNA methylation in the same region of the COL1A2 promoter, which was reversed by anacardic acid and a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (5-AZA-2'-deoxycytidine). Inhibition of UV-induced DNA methylation led to an increase of UV-induced histone acetylation in the COL1A2 promoter and increased the recruitment of transcription factors, leading to up-regulation of type I collagen after UV irradiation. Collectively, our findings indicate that the epigenetic crosstalk between DNA methylation and histone acetylation plays a crucial role in COL1A2 transcription induced by UV irradiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
