Background:Aldosterone synthase gene, CYP11B2 is regulated by potassium and angiotensin II (Ang II). We have reported that Ang II could change the DNA methylation status around transcription factor-binding sites and a transcription start site (TSS) and activate expression of CYP11B2. Similar to Ang II, small increases in extracellular potassium levels also increase CYP11B2 mRNA levels.Methods and results:Adrenocortical H295R cells were treated with different doses of potassium. Methylation analysis of CYP11B2 promoter region was done by bisulfite sequencing. CYP11B2 mRNA and protein levels, chromatin accessibility, methylation and demethylation activity were estimated. The transcriptional ability of CYP11B2 promoter with or without methylation was assessed. Potassium stimulation caused DNA demethylation around cyclic AMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) and nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A (NR4A) family-binding sites and a TSS; demethylation was accompanied by recruitment of CREB1 and NR4A1 and increased chromatin accessibility of the CYP11B2 promoter. DNA methylation activity decreased in the nucleus. DNA demethylation at CpG1 (Ad1), CpG2 (Ad5) and CpG3 were detected within 2 to 4 days after potassium (16 mmol/l) stimulation. The changes reached a maximum level by day 7. DNA at CpG2 (Ad5) and CpG3 was re-methylated to levels that were similar to those of nontreated cells at day 9. Potassium treatment significantly reduced DNA methylation activity at days 7 and 9. DNA demethylation activity was not changed by potassium.Conclusion: Potassium induced reversibly DNA demethylation, which switches the phenotype of CYP11B2 expression from an inactive to an active state.
