Epigenetic Regulation of Aldosterone Synthase Gene by Sodium and Angiotensin <styled-content style="fixed-case">II</styled-content>

BackgroundDNA methylation is believed to be maintained in adult somatic cells. Recent findings, however, suggest that all methylation patterns are not stable. We demonstrate that stimulatory signals can change the DNA methylation status around transcription factor binding sites and a transcription s...

Recent findings, however, suggest that all methylation patterns are not stable. We demonstrate that stimulatory signals can change the DNA methylation status around transcription factor binding sites and a transcription start site and activate expression of the aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2). Methods and ResultsDNA methylation of CYP11B2 was analyzed in aldosterone‐producing adenomas, nonfunctioning adrenal adenomas, and adrenal glands and compared with the gene expression levels. CpG dinucleotides in the CYP11B2 promoter were found to be hypormethylated in tissues with high expression, but not in those with low expression, of CYP11B2. Methylation of the CYP11B2 promoter fused to a reporter gene decreased transcriptional activity. Methylation of recognition sequences of transcription factors, including CREB1, NGFIB (NR4A1), and NURR1 (NR4A2) diminished their DNA‐binding activity. A methylated‐CpG‐binding protein MECP2 interacted directly with the methylated CYP11B2 promoter. In rats, low salt intake led to upregulation of CYP11B2 expression and DNA hypomethylation in the adrenal gland. Treatment with angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist decreased CYP11B2 expression and led to DNA hypermethylation. ConclusionsDNA demethylation may switch the phenotype of CYP11B2 expression from an inactive to an active state and regulate aldosterone biosynthesis.Yoshimichi TakedaMasashi DemuraFen WangShigehiro KarashimaTakashi YonedaMitsuhiro KometaniAtsushi HashimotoDaisuke AonoShin‐ichi HorikeMakiko Meguro‐HorikeMasakazu YamagishiYoshiyu TakedaWileyarticlealdosteroneangiotensin IICYP11B2epigeneticssodiumDiseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) systemRC666-701ENJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, Vol 7, Iss 10 (2018)
