SUPPLEMENTAL METHODS

Reagents and Cells. HDACi (SAHA) was purchased from Cayman Chemical, Scriptaid

was purchased from Biomol, MS-275 was purchased from Axxora, and TSA from Sigma,

and were dissolved (1-50 mM) in DMSO. Stock solutions of forskolin (10 mM) (Sigma)

and genistein (50 mM) (Sigma) were prepared in either DMSO or pure ethanol.

Amiloride (10 mM) (Sigma) was dissolved in water and CFTRinh-172 in DMSO (stock

solution, 10 mM) was obtained from the CF Foundation corrector panel. siRNA were

obtained from Ambion. RNA extraction kits were obtained from Qiagen. 3G11 and M3A7

antibodies used for immunoblotting were obtained from the Cystic Fibrosis Consortium

(http://www.cftrfolding.org/index.htm). Other reagents were obtained as indicated below.

siRNA-mediated silencing of HDACs. ΔF508 expressing CFBE41o- or wild-type

corrected (WT-HBE41o-) (where indicated in the Results) cells were plated in 12-well

dishes (immunoblot) or 60 mm (iodide efflux) and grown to 60-70% confluence.

Silencing of individual HDACs was performed using 50 nM of validated siRNA for the

indicated HDACs (Ambion) and RNAi-max (Invitrogen) as per manufacturers directions.

Cells were cultured overnight in the serum-free Opti-MEM containing transfection

complexes and subsequently washed and cultured for an addition 48hrs in the presence

of growth medium. Cells reached confluency 24 h prior to processing for CFTR

immunoblot analysis or iodide efflux assays.

qRT-PCR. qRT-PCR was performed using the iScript One-Step RT-PCR kit with SYBR

green (Bio-Rad) and the following primers for CFTR: 5’-GTGGCTGCTTCTTTGGTTGT-

3’ and 5’-CGAACTGCTGCTGGTGATAA-3’. RNA was standardized by quantification of

GUS mRNA using primers 5’-CTCATTTGGAATTTTGCCGATT-3’ and 5’-

CCGAGTGAAGATCCCCTTTTTA-3’, and all values are expressed relative to GUS.

Page 3: Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone … · 2010-09-17 · Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone Deacetylase 7 Activity Restores Function to Misfolded CFTR

Statistical analysis was performed on three independent qRT-PCR experiments for each

RNA sample, and error bars shown in the figures represent SEM.

HDAC assays. Deacetylation assays were based on a homogenous fluorescence

release assay, using the synthetic substrate Acetyl-Lys(Ac)-AMC. In short, purified

recombinant HDAC enzymes were incubated with serially-diluted inhibitors at various

concentrations, in HDAC buffer (Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 137 mM NaCl, 1 mmol/L

MgCl2, 2.7 mmole/L KCl). Acetyl-Lys(Ac)-AMC substrate was added and incubated for

an hour. Addition of a developer solution containing trypsin (5 mg/ml) cleaved

deacetylated AMC substrate to release flourogenic 4-methylcoumarin-7amide (MCA).

Fluorescence is measured using a 96 well-plate reader with excitation/emission

wavelengths of 370 nm and 470 nm respectively. The IC50 was determined by fitting the

data using a nonlinear regression analysis with variable slope. Assays were performed

by Reaction Biology Corp. (Malvern, PA).

CFTR transport assays. Where indicated, either ΔF508 expressing CFBE41o- lung

cells were cultured in the presence or absence of the indicated reagent in 12 well

Sarstedt dishes, harvested, lysed and the processing of CFTR from the band B to the

band C glycoform detected by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using either monoclonal

3G11 or M3A7 as previously described1.

Quantitation of CFTR glycoforms. Immunoblot exposures shown in the Results were

selected to allow visualization of CFTR recovery under identical protein loads in same

SDS-PAGE for all treatments. Given the dynamic range, quantitation of the band B and

C glycoforms was made by analysis of band intensities that were in the linear range. In

brief, the x-ray films were exposed for increasing time and the different exposures were

quantified using a FluroChemSP (Alpha Inotech) densitometer/software package. Where

band B and C were quantified from different exposures, an internal reference was used

to normalize the signal intensity.

Iodide efflux Assay. Cells were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with loading

buffer (136 mM NaI, 3 mM KNO3, 2 mM Ca(NO3)2, 20 mM Hepes, 11 mM glucose).

Cells were subsequently washed with efflux buffer (136 mM NaNO3, 3 mM KNO3, 2 mM

Ca(NO3)2, 20 mM Hepes, 11 mM glucose) to remove excess iodide. Cells were

stimulated for 4 min with 10 µM forskolin and 50 µM genistein in efflux buffer to activate

CFTR and subsequently washed out in efflux buffer for an additional 6 min. Samples

were collected every min and analyzed for iodide content using an iodide selective

electrode. Iodide concentration was assessed by comparison to a standard curve and

values normalized as fold-stimulation relative to pre-stimulation point. In the case of

CFInh172, the compound was present in all buffers following the iodide loading step.

Ussing chamber conductance assay cell culture. CFBE41o- cells stably expressing

ΔF508 CFTR2 via lentivirus transduction3 were cultured on permeable supports (Costar

Transwell filters, 0.33 cm2, 0.4-µm pore) for 6-10 days as described previously4. The

filters were coated with plating medium containing 1% collagen (PureCol, Sigma), 1%

fibronectin (BD biosciences, Franklin Lanes, NJ) and 98% serum free medium. DF/DF-

HBE cells were cultured from excess pathological tissue obtained from ΔF508

homozygous patients following lung transplantation and organ donation under a protocol

approved by the University of Pittsburgh Investigational Review Board, as previously

described5. DF/DF-HBE cells were cultured on human placental collagen-coated

Transwell filters (above) as previously described5,6 and used for experiments following 4–

6 weeks of culture at an air-liquid interface.

Nature Chemical Biology: doi: 10.1038/nchembio.275

Page 5: Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone … · 2010-09-17 · Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone Deacetylase 7 Activity Restores Function to Misfolded CFTR

Transepithelial recordings. Short-circuit currents (Isc) were measured as previously

described7,8. In brief, cells cultured on filter supports were mounted in modified Ussing

chambers, and the cultures were continuously short-circuited with an automatic voltage

clamp (Department of Bioengineering, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA). Transepithelial

resistance, RT, was measured periodically from the current required to apply a 2.5-mV

bipolar voltage pulse. RT was calculated from Ohm's law. The basolateral bathing Ringer

solution was composed of 120 mM NaCl, 25 mM NaHCO3, 3.3 mM KH2PO4, 0.8 mM

K2HPO4, 1.2 mM MgCl2, 1.2 mM CaCl2, and 10 mM glucose. The NaCl concentration of

the apical bathing solution was reduced by replacing NaCl with equimolar Na-gluconate.

The chambers were maintained at 37°C and gassed continuously with a mixture of 95%

O2, 5% CO2 which fixed the pH at 7.4. Following a 5-min equilibration period, the

baseline Isc was recorded. Sodium currents were blocked by addition of the sodium

channel blocker amiloride (10 µM) to the apical solution. Subsequently, the cAMP

agonist, forskolin (10 µM, Sigma), the CFTR potentiator genistein (50 µM, Sigma), and

the CFTR channel blocker CFTRInh-172 (10 µM; Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) were

added sequentially to determine cAMP-stimulated CFTR currents.

Cell surface labeling of CFTR. BHK-21 cells stable expressing ΔF508 CFTR

containing an extracytoplasmic epitope tag9 were plated at 40,000 cells/well in Corning

96 well Cell Bind plates and cultured in DMEM/F12 (50:50) medium at 37oC / 5% CO2

atmosphere for 24 h. Compounds to be tested were added to media at the indicated final

concentrations and incubation continued for a further 24 h. Detection employed a

primary antibody recognizing the external epitope (anti-HA11) and a fluorescently

labeled secondary antibody. Briefly, following exposure to compounds, medium was

removed and cells washed with PBS before and after fixation with 2% PFA for 20 min at

room temperature. Following a 1 h incubation in blocking solution (1% BSA plus 5%

Nature Chemical Biology: doi: 10.1038/nchembio.275

Page 6: Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone … · 2010-09-17 · Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone Deacetylase 7 Activity Restores Function to Misfolded CFTR

normal goat serum in PBS), primary antibody was added at a 1:500 dilution and

incubation continued for 2 h with gentle mixing. Primary antibody solution was removed

and cells washed twice with PBS prior to incubation with secondary antibody at a 1:1000

dilution for 1 h. Syto 60 nuclear stain (Molecular Probes) was also present during the

secondary incubation. After removal of this solution and PBS washing, plates were

scanned on a Li-Cor IR Fluorescence scanner at 800 nm to detect labeled secondary

antibody bound to the cell surface and 700 nm to detect the nuclear stain. The latter

signal was used to normalize for any variation in cell number.

Surface density of CFTR. Surface density of CFTR was measured in using the CFBE-

L-ΔF508 cell line stably expressing ΔF508-CFTR containing an HA epitope in the

extracellular domain in CFBE41o- cells. Cell surface density was measured by an anti-

HA antibody ELISA as described above.

Adenoviral expression of extope-ΔF508 (ΔF508extope) CFTR in HBE cultures.

Adenoviral vectors for expression of ΔF508extope CFTR9 were generated by the UNC

Cystic Fibrosis Center Molecular Biology Core and the UNC Vector Core Facility. Human

excess donor lungs and excised recipient lungs were obtained at the time of lung

transplantation from portions of main stem or lumbar bronchi. Airway epithelial cells were

harvested by enzymatic digestion as described10 under a protocol approved by the UNC

medical school institutional review board. To express ΔF508extope CFTR9 in primary HBE

cultures, cells were seeded on collagen-coated Millicell culture plate inserts and

maintained at an air-liquid interface for 40 days. The well-differentiated cultures were

then transduced with adenoviral vector11. 30 h after infection cultures were treated with

0.1 µM TSA, 5.0 µM SAHA, 5 µM ScriptAid, 1 µM MS-275 or correctors compounds C3

(VRT-325) and C4 (Corr-4a) (10 µM each; provided by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

(http://cftrfolding.org/CFFTReagents.htm) for 46 h at 37°C or incubated without

Nature Chemical Biology: doi: 10.1038/nchembio.275

Page 7: Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone … · 2010-09-17 · Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone Deacetylase 7 Activity Restores Function to Misfolded CFTR

correctors at 27°C. For detection of apical ΔF508extope, primary HBE cultures were

labeled with anti-HA antibody HA11 (Covance) from the apical side for 45 min and

frozen culture sections were prepared. Sections were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized

with 0.1 % Triton X-100, blocked with 1% BSA, and 10% normal goat serum in PBS and

incubated with goat anti-mouse IgG Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate. Nuclei were stained with

TO-PRO-3 iodide. Cells were examined using a Zeiss LSM 510 confocal laser scanning

microscope. Scale bar=10 µm.

Microarray analysis. Raw expression data files were obtained for three siHDAC7

treatment replicates and three siSCR control replicates with the Affymetrix Human

Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array. All microarray analysis was performed with

Bioconductor12. Standard data quality validation as suggested by Affymetrix was carried

out with the ‘simpleaffy’ package, followed by ‘affyPLM’, which identified no problematic

chips. The raw data were preprocessed according to the GC-RMA method13

(implemented in ‘gcrma’), which performs probe sequence based background

adjustment, quantile normalization, and utilizes a robust multi-chip average to

summarize information into single expression measurements for each probeset (see

Supplemental Fig. S7 ‘expression siHDAC1/7 versus siSCR’). Prior to statistical testing,

the data were submitted to a non-specific filter (via the package ‘genefilter’) that

removed probesets without Entrez Gene IDs and with an expression interquartile range

smaller than 0.5. To identify genes that were significantly differentially expressed

between conditions, linear modeling and empirical Bayes analysis was performed using

the ‘limma’ package14. Limma computes an empirical Bayes adjustment for the t-test

(moderated t-statistic), which is more robust than the standard two-sample t-test

comparisons. To correct for multiple testing Benjamin and Hochberg’s method to control

for false discovery rate was used15. Probesets with an adjusted p-value of 0.01 or

Nature Chemical Biology: doi: 10.1038/nchembio.275

Page 8: Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone … · 2010-09-17 · Supplementary Methods and Results Reduced Histone Deacetylase 7 Activity Restores Function to Misfolded CFTR

smaller were considered differentially expressed (Supplemental Fig. 7 ‘comparison

siHDAC1/7 versus siSCR’).

Pathway enrichment analysis

3333 genes (4402 probesets) were differentially expressed in response to HDAC7

silencing. These were mapped to 3141 objects within the MetaCore platform 16. All four

CFTR-relevant MetaCore Cystic Fibrosis pathways involved in CFTR metabolic stability

were selected for enrichment analysis: CFTR Folding and Maturation; Regulation of

CFTR Degradation; CFTR Traffic; and Regulation of CFTR Activity. The probability of

each pathway to include the observed number of differentially expressed objects was

calculated using the hypergeometric distribution:

,

where n is the number of objects in the pathway, N the total number of objects, R the

number of differentially expressed objects in response to HDAC7 silencing and r the

number of differentially expressed objects that are part of the pathway. Additional

probesets mapped to CFTR-related pathways involved in bacterial pathogenesis and the

immune response (unpublished).

Network construction

Objects and interactions in GeneGo Cystic Fibrosis pathways were used to build a

network that captures the effect of HDAC7 silencing on all genes known to influence

CFTR.

In Vitro Translation

CFTR protein was translated at 25°C for 2 hours in reaction containing 20 µg/mL CFTR

RNA, 40% (v/v) nuclease-treated rabbit reticulocyte lysate, canine pancreas microsomes

(3 OD280), 1 mM ATP, 1 mM GTP, 12 mM creatine phosphate, 40 µM each of 19

essential amino acids, except methionine, 1 µCi/mL of Trans[35S]-label (MP Biomedicals,

Solon, OH), 40 µg/mL creatine kinase, 0.1 mg/mL bovine calf tRNA, 0.1 U/mL RNase

inhibitor, 10 mM Tris-acetate (pH 7.5), 100 mM potassium acetate, 2 mM magnesium

acetate, and 2 mM DTT. SAHA (5 µM) or 0.2% (v/v) DMSO (vehicle) was added at the

start of translation. Aliquots of reaction at indicated time were subjected to SDS-PAGE

(7%) and autoradiography.

Intact cell glucocerebrosidase (GC) enzyme activity assay.

The intact cell GC activity assay was performed as previously17. Briefly, approximately

104 L444P GC cells were plated in each well of a 96-well plate (100 ml per well)

overnight to allow cell attachment. Medium was replaced with fresh medium containing 1

mM SAHA every day for 5 days and plates were incubated at 37 °C. The medium was

then removed and monolayers washed with PBS. The assay reaction was started by the

addition of 100 ml of 3 mM 4-methylumbelliferyl b-D-glucoside in 0.2 M acetate buffer

(pH 4.0) to each well. Plates were incubated at 37 °C for 2 h and the reaction was

stopped by the addition of 150 ml of 0.2 M glycine buffer (pH 10.8) to each well.

Liberated 4-methylumbelliferone was measured (excitation 365 nm, emission 445 nm)

using a SpectraMax Gemini plate reader (Molecular Device, Sunnyvale, CA). Control

experiments to evaluate the extent of non-specific non-lysosomal GC activity were

performed by adding conduritol B epoxide to the assay reaction. GC activities measured

were normalized to corresponding DMSO vehicle control treated cells.

Chromosomal Immunoprecipitation

CFBE41o- cells were treated with 0.01% DMSO (v/v) or 5 mM SAHA for 24hrs prior to

crosslinking with 1% paraformaldehyde at 37oC. Cells were harvested by scraping in

Buffer A (10mM Hepes pH 8, 10mM EDTA, 0.5mM EGTA and 0.25% Triton X-100) and

incubated for 10 minutes at 4oC in a 15ml conical tube. Cells were pelleted by

centrifugation at 500xg and resuspended in Buffer B (10mM Hepes pH 8, 200mM NaCl,

1mM EDTA, 0.5mM EGTA and 0.01% Triton X-100) and subsequently incubated for 10

minutes at 4oC. Cells were again pelleted as above and resuspended in ChIP buffer

(25mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 150mM NaCl, 2mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS)

containing protease inhibitor (Sigma). Lysate was aliquoted to 2ml tubes and sonicated

on ice for 7 pulses of 30 seconds at 100% output with 60 seconds on ice between

pulses. The crosslinked, soluble chromatin was obtained by collecting the supernatant

from a 15 minutes centrifugation at 4oC at maximum speed. The sample is pre-cleared

with Protein A/G for 2 hrs at 4oC prior to incubation with anti-acetylated histone H3 or

anti-RNA polymerase II antibodies and subsequent antibody pull down with Protein A/G

for 2 hrs each at 4oC. The beads are collected by centrifugation at 1500xg for 2 minutes

and sequentially washed with ChIP buffer, Wash Buffer 1 (25mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 500mM

NaCl, 2mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS), Wash Buffer 2 (10mM Tris-HCl pH 8,

250mM LiCl, 1% NP40, 1% Sodium deoxycholate, 1mM EDTA) and TE Buffer (10mM

Trish-HCl pH 8, 1mM EDTA). The bound material is eluted with 1% SDS, 100mM

sodium carbonate for 10 minutes at RT. The crosslinking is reversed by the addition of

NaCl to a final concentration of 200mM and heating at 65oC overnight. The protein

content is removed by proteinase K digestion for 1 hr at 42oC in 35mM Tris-HCl pH 6.5,

10mM EDTA and 40µg/ml proteinase K. The DNA is ethanol precipitated, resuspended

in H2O and subjected to qPCR for Sar1b using the following primer pairs (forw:

5’GCATGGATGAGACCTGTCCT-3’; rev: 5’-TAGAAGGCGCACTTTTAGGG-3’).

Thermal denaturation of NBD1-CFTR ΔF508 NBD1-CFTR was purified as previously described18. Thermal denaturation was

measured by monitoring at 300 nm turbidity (aggregation) of 5 µM NBD1-CFTR in Buffer

M (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 65 µM ATP, 0.5 % DMSO, pH 7.6), in

presence or absence of SAHA or 2 mM ATP as indicated in the legend. Turbidity was

measured every 0.5 °C, rate of temperature increase was 0.5 °C/min. Melting

Temperature (TM) was determined by taking the second derivative.

SUPPLEMENTAL FIGURE LEGENDS

Supplemental Fig. S1. Chemical structure of compounds utilized or discussed in the

manuscript.

Supplemental Fig. S2. a, CFBE41o- cells were treated with 0.2, 1 or 5 µM of SAHA,

Scriptaid or MS-275 for 24 h at 37oC. Immunoblot analysis of 10 µg of total protein is

shown for each compound tested and the subsequent analysis is shown below (mean ±

SEM, n = 3). b, RT-PCR analysis of CFTR mRNA following treatment of CFBE41o- cells

with 0.1 µM TSA, 5 µM SAHA, 1 µM Scriptaid and 5 µM MS-275. Data is shown as fold

change of the ratio of CFTR mRNA to glucoronidsase (GUS) mRNA relative to vehicle

treated control (mean ± SEM, n = 3). c, Immunoblot analysis of 15µg CFBE41o- cell

lysates following treatment with the indicated HDACi as in b in the absence or presence

of 50 µM actinomycin D (Act. D). CFTR was detected using the M3A7 antibody. d, RT-

PCR analysis of CFTR mRNA following treatment with 5 µM SAHA for the indicated

time. Data is shown as fold change of the ratio of CFTR mRNA to glucoronidsase (GUS)

mRNA relative to vehicle treated control (mean ± SEM, n = 3).

Supplemental Fig. S3. SAHA does not affect CFTR synthesis or stability of NBD1

directly. a. In vitro translation of CFTR for the indicated time in the presence of 5 µM

SAHA or 0.2% (v/v) DMSO (vehicle). Samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE (7%) and

autoradiography and full length CFTR is shown. b. Thermal denaturation of NBD1-

CFTR: Black, Control; red, + 2 mM ATP; green, + 5 µM SAHA; yellow, + 50 µM SAHA.

indicated chaperone proteins levels following treatment of CFBE41o- cells with 0.1 µM

TSA, 5 µM SAHA, 1 µM Scriptaid and 5 µM MS-275. Controls of CFBE41o- cells

cultured at physiological (37oC) and permissive temperature (30oC) as well as HBE41o-

cells are shown. b. Quantification of cellular chaperones relative to actin loading control

was performed for CFBE41o- cells treated with the indicated in a.

Supplemental Fig. S5. SAHA did not increase L444P glucoceribrosidase (GC)

enzyme activity in Gaucher patient-derived fibroblasts. L444P GC fibroblasts were

treated with 1 µM SAHA for 5 d before the intact cell GC enzyme activity assay was

performed. The drug treated-GC activity data was normalized to the DMSO vehicle

control (mean ± SD; n = 3).

Supplemental Fig S6. CFBE41o- cells were treated with 10 or 30 µM of Sirtuin1

Inhibitor 3, Splitomycin or 0.1% DMSO (v/v) for 24 h at 37oC. Immunoblot analysis of 15

µg of total protein is shown for CFTR (M3A7) for each compound tested.

Supplemental Fig. S9. Chaperone profiling. a. Representative Western blots of the

indicated chaperone proteins levels following siRNA knockdown of HDAC1-10 in

CFBE41o- cells. b. Quantification of cellular chaperones relative to actin loading control

was performed for siHDAC1 and siHDAC7 treated CFBE41o- cells. (mean ± SEM, n =

3).

Supplemental Fig. S10. Grouping-oriented layout of the CFTR-related network of genes

whose expression was altered in response to HDAC7 knockdown in CFBE41o- cells.

Genes are shown as ovals colored according to their moderated t-statistic. Thicker node

outlines indicate greater than 2-fold expression changes. Non-differentially expressed

genes that provide a path between a differentially expressed gene and CFTR are shown

in grey.

Supplemental Fig. S11. Chromosomal immunoprecipitation of acetylated histone H3

(upper) or RNA polymerase II (lower) and qPCR analysis of the associated Sar1b DNA

from CFBE410- cells treated with 5 µM SAHA.

Supplemental Table S1. Table showing IC50 values for HDACs 1-10 for the indicated

HDACi (upper). The tested concentration (µM) for in vivo analysis is indicated in the

lower panel. The values represent a single point (n = 1) for each concentration.

Supplemental Table S2. Microarray data for CFBE41o- cells following HDAC1 and

7 silencing. Excel spreadsheet containing processed expression data and gene

expression changes in observed in response to HDAC1 or 7 silencing. Analysis was

performed as described in the Supplemental Methods.
