(a) MM.1S cells were treated with or without BG45 (20 μM) for 24 hours, further cultured with CHX (10 μg/mL), and then harvested at the indicated time intervals. The cell lysates were subjected to immunoblot analysis. (b) MM.1S cells were treated with or without BG45 (20 μM) for 24 hours; whole cell lysates were then extracted, followed by immunoprecipitation of DNMT1 or IgG as a negative control. Acetylated DNMT1 (Ac-DNMT1), ubiquitinated DNMT1 (Ub-DNMT1), and USP7 were detected by immunoblotting with Ac-K, ubiquitin, and USP7 antibody, respectively. DNMT1 served as a loading control. (c, d) 293T cells were transfected with indicated Myc-DNMT1 (WT), acetylation-dead Myc-DNMT1 (4KQ), HA-ubiquitin (Ub), Flag-USP7, and/or Flag-HDAC3 for 48 hours. In vivo ubiquitination of DNMT1 proteins was assessed by immunoprecipitation. Polyubiquitination was detected by immunoblotting with HA antibody. (b – d) As input, the whole cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies. GAPDH (a), DNMT1 (b), or Actin (c, d) served as a loading control. Data are representative of at least two independent experiments. (e) Schema of regulation of DNMT1 expression by HDAC3 in MM cells. HDAC3 deacetylates c-Myc, and maintains the protein stability of c-Myc. c-Myc regulates DNMT1 mRNA expression. HDAC3 deacetylates DNMT1, and maintains the protein stability of DNMT1.
