Arsenic is an established human carcinogen that can induce DNA damage; however, the precise mechanism remains unknown. Histone modification is of great significance in chemical toxicity and carcinogenesis. To investigate the role of histone H3K9me2 in arsenic-induced DNA damage, HaCaT cells were exposed to sodium arsenite in this study, and the results showed that the enrichment level of H3K9me2 at the N-methylated purine-DNA-glycosylase (MPG), X-ray repair cross-complementary gene 1 (XRCC1), and polyadenylate diphosphate ribose polymerase-1 (PARP1) promoter regions of base-excision repair (BER) genes was increased, which inhibited the expression of these BER genes, thereby inhibiting the repair of DNA damage and aggravating the DNA damage. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism by which H3K9me2 participates in the BER repair of arsenic-induced DNA damage was verified based on functional loss and gain experiments. In addition, Ginkgo biloba extract can upregulate the expression of MPG, XRCC1, and PARP1 and ameliorate cell DNA damage by reducing the enrichment of H3K9me2 at repair gene promoter regions. |
