Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) catalyzes N-methylation of nicotinamide and other structural analogues. NNMT gene expression is enhanced in many papillary thyroid cancer cells and activated by hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1beta. In this work, we studied the effects of depsipeptide, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, on NNMT gene expression in BHP 18-21 papillary thyroid cancer cells. Depsipeptide reduced NNMT mRNA level in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner as determined by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In contrast, expression of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS), a gene with differentiated function, waas enhanced in the treated cells. NNMT protein level determined by Western blot analysis and NNMT catalytic activity was also reduced significantly in the depsipeptide-treated cells. To study the mechanism of NNMT gene repression by depsipeptide, effects of depsipeptide on NNMT promoter activity were determined by luciferase reporter gene assay. NNMT promoter activity was significantly reduced in the HNF-1beta-positive BHP 18-21 cells but not in the HNF-1beta-negative BHP 14-9 papillary cancer cells. A mutant reporter construct with mutations in a HNF-1 site in the NNMT basal promoter region did not respond to depsipeptide in both HNF-1beta protein levels, and abolished activity of DNA binding to the HNF-1 site in the NNMT promoter region. Protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and proteasome inhibitor MG-132 enhanced HNF-1beta stability in the depsipeptide-treated cells. In summary, depsipeptide represses NNMT and HNF-1beta gene expression in some papillary thyroid cancer cells. the repression of NNMT by depsipeptide is at the transcription level through downregulation of transcription activator HNF-1beta.
