HTERT的表达是端粒酶活性的主要限制因素。我们先前的研究表明,hTERT启动子的甲基化是其转录所必需的,而CTCF可以通过与第一外显子结合来抑制hTERT的转录。在这项研究中,我们使用了凝胶迁移率改变分析(EMSA)和染色质免疫沉淀(CHIP)来证明CTCF不结合hTERT的甲基化的第一外显子。5-azadC处理端粒酶阳性细胞后,hTERT 5‘-调控区去甲基化,CTCF结合重新激活,hTERT表达下调。尽管hTERT启动子的完全甲基化与完全转录抑制相关,但详细的定位表明,在端粒酶阳性的细胞中,并不是所有的CpG位点都甲基化,特别是在启动子区域。通过甲基化盒法,在核心启动子内选择性地去甲基化110hTERT可以显著提高 转录活性。这项研究强调了DNA甲基化在hTERT转录调控中的双重作用。在我们的模型中,hTERT甲基化阻止了CTCF抑制子的结合,但核心启动子的部分低甲基化是hTERT表达所必需的。
Expression of hTERT is the major limiting factor for telomerase activity. We previously showed that methylation of the hTERT promoter is necessary for its transcription and that CTCF can repress hTERT transcription by binding to the first exon. In this study, we used electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to show that CTCF does not bind the methylated first exon of hTERT. Treatment of telomerase-positive cells with 5-azadC led to a strong demethylation of hTERT 5′-regulatory region, reactivation of CTCF binding and downregulation of hTERT. Although complete hTERT promoter methylation was associated with full transcriptional repression, detailed mapping showed that, in telomerase-positive cells, not all the CpG sites were methylated, especially in the promoter region. Using a methylation cassette assay, selective demethylation of 110 bp within the core promoter significantly increased hTERT transcriptional activity. This study underlines the dual role of DNA methylation in hTERT transcriptional regulation. In our model, hTERT methylation prevents binding of the CTCF repressor, but partial hypomethylation of the core promoter is necessary for hTERT expression.
