Nitric oxide (NO) may regulate gene expression by directly modifying redox
state-sensitive residues of transcription factors. Here we show that the NO
donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), rapidly represses c-myc gene
transcription in a protein synthesis-independent manner in P19 embryonal
carcinoma cells by inactivation of NF- B. SNP treatment reduces the DNA
binding ability of the constitutively active NF- B heterodimer, p65/p50,
and its consequent transactivation of the c-myc promoter. Repression
can be blocked by the peroxynitrite scavenger, deferoxamine, but not by
dithiothreitol, which triggers reduction of S-nitrosylated residues.
In HEK293 cells, where tumor necrosis factor- can activate NF- B,
SNP likewise suppresses the binding of the active NF- B complex,
restoring the binding of the repressive p50/p50 homodimer complex. This effect
of SNP in HEK293 cells is also blocked by deferoxamine. Chromatin
immunoprecipitation analysis of SNP-treated P19 cells reveals reduced
association of p65, but not of p50, with the promoter region of the endogenous
c-myc gene. SNP-induced p65 dissociation was associated with the
recruitment of histone deacetylase 1 and 2 to the endogenous c-myc
gene promoter and the subsequent deacetylation of its chromatin histone. This
study is the first to demonstrate that NO modulates the transcriptional
activity of the c-myc gene promoter by dissociating the active form
of NF- B and replacing it with a repressive NF- B complex,
correlated with the recruitment of gene-silencing histone deacetylases. In
light of findings that NF- B stimulates Myc oncoprotein expression in
cancers, our findings suggest that NO should be investigated as a prospective
therapeutic cancer agent.
