High-Resolution, Accurate-Mass (HR/AM) and Intelligent Acquisition-Enabled Global Discovery and Quanti cation of Histones, Histone PTMS, and Histone
Modi cation Enzymes in Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Conclusion
We have developed a real-time, intelligent acquisition strategy for HR/AM global
targeted quantification of histones, histone PTMs, and histone modification
enzymes in primary human stem cells upon acute DNA damage and during drug-
evoked senescence.
Assessment of the histone H1, H2a, H2B, H4, and H3 family member abundance
in the soluble nuclear fraction of the cells subjected to genotoxic drug-induced
senescence (5 days after exposure to bleomycin), demonstrated that the
dynamics of histone binding in the senescent cells changes significantly (Figure
3B). Our data also suggest that the composition of the nucleosomal particles
undergoes dramatic changes upon senescence. We have observed significant
reduction in chromatin-bound histone H4 and all of the members of the H1 family
(Figure 3B). These data suggest that with reduction of H1 histone family members
in the chromatin of senescent cells, the overall compaction of chromatin fiber
decreases dramatically.
The representation of macro H2A histone does not change with senescent-
specific transformation. Levels of H2B type1-A and type1-B histones also do not
change significantly. These data suggest histone type specificity in chromatin
dynamics upon reaching a senescent state.
A dramatic increase in chromatin-bound HAT p300 and HMT MLL3 correlates
well with the loss of histone 1 family members from the chromatin. These data
support the hypothesis that relaxation of chromatin compaction in senescent cells
might be a leading cause of increased transcriptional noise (transcriptional
leakage) upon senescence.
