We have previously shown that the pleiotropic agent sodium butyrate strongly stimulates tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Here we provide the following evidence that the butyrate-induced t-PA expression in HUVEC involves histone H4 acetylation. (1) t-PA induction by butyrate occurs at the transcriptional level and does not require new protein synthesis, indicating a direct effect. (2) t-PA induction by butyrate can be fully mimicked by a specific, structurally unrelated, histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A. (3) At optimally stimulatory conditions, a combination of butyrate and trichostatin A does not enhance t-PA production more than each of the compounds alone, indicating that both compounds act through a common regulatory mechanism. (4) Induction of t-PA transcription by butyrate and trichostatin A was found to be preceded by histone H4 acetylation; at suboptimal inducing concentrations of butyrate and trichostatin A, the degree of acetylation of histone H4 caused by each agent was similarly reduced. These results are consistent with a role for histone H4 acetylation in t-PA induction by butyrate in HUVEC.
