DOT1L mediates α-HB-induced H3K79 hypermethylation. a α-HB upregulates H3K79 trimethylation. H3K79 methylation levels were analyzed in HaCaT and HT-3 cells upon 1 mM four LDHA-related metabolite treatments for 24 h. Ctrl, control; α-HB, sodium α-hydroxybutyrate; α-KB, sodium α-ketobutyrate; Lac, sodium l-lactate; Pyr, sodium pyruvate. H3K79 methylation / H3 ratio was quantified. b ROS increase H3K79 trimethylation. H3K79 methylation levels were analyzed in HaCaT and HT-3 cells upon 10 μM H2O2 for 6 h with or without 1 mM NAC pretreatment for 1 h as indicated. H3K79 methylation/H3 ratio was quantified. c E7 expression enhances H3K79 trimethylation. H3K79 methylation levels were analyzed in PHKs and HaCaT cells stably expressing vector or Flag-tagged HPV16/18 E7 coupled with or without 1 mM NAC treatment for 6 h. H3K79 methylation/H3 ratio was quantified. d DOT1L mediates nuclear LDHA-induced H3K79 hypermethylation. HeLa stable cells with LDHA knockdown and Flag-tagged Vec/WT/NLS/NES rescue were treated with or without 3 μM EPZ004777 for 48 h, combined with or without 1 mM sodium α-HB for 48 h as indicated. β-actin and histone H3 used as loading control in all immunoblots. e E7 triggers the binding of DOT1L with LDHA. Endogenous coimmunoprecipitation of DOT1L in HT-3 cells stably expressing vector or HPV16 E7 coupled with or without 1 mM NAC treatment for 6 h, and blotting of LDHA and DOT1L. f ROS trigger the binding of DOT1L with LDHA. Endogenous coimmunoprecipitation of DOT1L in HT-3 cells with or without 10 μM H2O2 for 6 h or 1 mM NAC for 6 h as indicated, followed by blotting with LDHA and DOT1L. g α-HB induces the binding of DOT1L with LDHA. Reversible endogenous coimmunoprecipitation of DOT1L and LDHA in HaCaT and HT-3 cells with or without 1 mM α-HB for 24 h, followed by blotting with LDHA and DOT1L. Results are representative of three independent experiments. All data are shown as mean ± SEM. The p values were determined by two-tailed t-test. The values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. *, **, and *** denote p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001, respectively. NS means non significant
