CREB-binding protein (CBP) (CREBBP) and p300 (EP300) are multifunctional histone acetyltransferases (HATs) with extensive homology. Germline mutations of CBP or p300 cause skeletal abnormalities in humans and mice. However, the precise roles of CBP/p300 in bone homeostasis remain elusive. Here, we report that conditional knockout of CBP or p300 in osteoblasts results in reduced bone mass and strength due to suppressed bone formation. The HAT activity is further confirmed to be responsible for CBP/p300-mediated osteogenesis using A-485, a selective inhibitor of CBP/p300 HAT. Mechanistically, CBP/p300 HAT governs osteogenic gene expression in part through transcriptional activation of β-catenin and inhibition of Stat1. Furthermore, acetylation of histone H3K27 and the transcription factor Foxo1 are demonstrated to be involved in CBP/p300 HAT-regulated β-catenin and Stat1 transcription, respectively. Taken together, these data identify acetyltransferases CBP/p300 as critical regulators that promote osteoblast differentiation and reveal an epigenetic mechanism responsible for maintaining bone homeostasis. © 2023 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

HIV-1 latency is regulated by chromatin modifying enzymes, and histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) cause reactivation of provirus expression. Surprisingly, we observed that inhibitors of the CBP/p300 acetyltransferases also cause reversal of latency in T cells. CBP/p300 inhibitors synergize with various latency reversing agents to cause HIV-1 reactivation.

CBP and p300 are versatile transcriptional co-activators that play essential roles in regulating a wide range of signaling pathways, including Wnt/β-catenin, p53, and HIF-1α. These co-activators influence various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and response to hypoxia, making them pivotal in normal physiology and disease progression. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, in particular, is crucial for cellular proliferation, differentiation, tissue homeostasis, and embryogenesis.

Background: BCR-ABL is a constitutively active tyrosine kinase that stimulates multiple downstream signaling pathways to promote the survival and proliferation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells. The clinical application of specific BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has led to significantly improved prognosis and overall survival in CML patients compared to previous treatment regimens. However, direct targeting of BCR-ABL does not eradicate CML cells expressing T315I-mutated BCR-ABL.

Epigenetic modifications play a pivotal role in the process of neurogenesis. Among these modifications, reversible acetylation fine-tunes gene expression for both embryonic and adult neurogenesis. The CBP/KAT3A and its paralogue p300/KAT3B are well-known lysine acetyltransferases with transcriptional coactivation ability that engage in neural plasticity and memory.
