Twenty-four hours after treatment of Friend erythroleukemic cells with millimolar concentrations of n-bu-@ rate, the chromatin histones (particularly the nucleosome core histones H3 and H4) have become hyperacetylated. During this same time period, nucleic acid hybridization studies indicate that the butyrate-treated Friend cells accumulate a population of about 38% new RNA transcripts synthesized from unique sequences of mouse DNA. These butyrate-induced RNA transcripts are not detectable in control, non-fatty acid-treated cells. Furthermore, two-dimensional gel electrophoretie analysis of the butyrate-treated cells also indicates that the fatty acid-induced cells synthesize many new species of proteins that are not detectable in the control cells. These de nouo changes in RNA and protein synthesis do not occur when other inducers of overt erythroid differentiation, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (which does not lead to histone hyperacetylation), are added to the Friend cells. Finally, all of these metabolic effects of short term treatment of cells with butyrate are readily reversible once the fatty acid is removed. This remarkable coordinate effect of butyrate on the induction of histone hyperacetylation, the induction of new unique sequence gene RNA transcript accumulation, and the induction of new protein synthesis suggests that these three metabolic phenomena may be closely linked in Friend erythroleukemic cells. Furthermore, these findings are not inconsistent with the hypothesis that histone hyperacetylation(especially of H3 and H4 to the diacetylated and higher modified forms) may be a necessary, but obviously not sufficient, part of the biochemical mechanisms leading to new genomic expression in these cells.Among the many documented effects of millimolar concentrations of sodium butyrate on mammalian cells growing in tissue culture is the induction of hyperacetylation of most of the histones found in the fundamental chromatin subunit, the nucleosome (l-3). For example, over 80% of histone H4 is converted to the mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraacetylated forms in a number of different types of cultured vertebrate cells after butyrate treatment (l-5). Furthermore, in all of these cell types, histone H3 also becomes hyperacetylated as do histones H2A and H2B in certain rat tissue culture cell lines (1). That these modified histones are actually present in chromatin
