Acetyltransferase p300 is essential for cardiac development, and is thought to be involved in cardiac myocyte growth through MEF2 and GATA4-dependent transcription. However, the importance of p300 in the modulation of cardiac growth in vivo is unknown. Pressure overload induced by transverse aortic coarctation, postnatal physiologic growth and human heart failure were associated with large increases in p300. Minimal transgenic overexpression of p300 (1.5–3.5-fold) induced striking myocyte and cardiac hypertrophy. Both mortality and cardiac mass were directly related to p300 protein dosage. Heterozygous loss of a single p300 allele reduced pressure overload-induced hypertrophy by ~50%, and rescued the hypertrophic phenotype of p300 overexpressors. Increased p300 expression had no effect on total histone deacetylase activity, but was associated with proportional increases in p300 acetyltransferase activity and acetylation of p300 substrates histone 3 and GATA-4. Remarkably, a doubling of p300 levels was associated with the de novo acetylation of MEF2. Consistent with this, genes specifically upregulated in p300tg hearts were highly enriched for MEF2 binding sites. Small increments in p300 are necessary and sufficient to drive myocardial hypertrophy, possibly through acetylation of MEF2, and upstream of signals promoting phosphorylation or nuclear export of HDACs. We propose that induction of myocardial p300 content is a primary, rate-limiting event in the response to hemodynamic loading in vivo and that p300 availability drives and constrains adaptive myocardial growth. Specific reduction of p300 content or activity may diminish stress-induced hypertrophy and forestall the development of heart failure.
