Abstract
Lysine crotonylation is a recently discovered post-translation modification involved in transcription regulation, cell signal transduction, and other processes. Scientists have identified several crotonylases and decrotonylases of histones, including P300/CBP, HDACs, and SIRTs. However, the regulation of non-histone protein crotonylation remains unclear. In the current study, we verified that crotonylation was upregulated in hypoxia and promoted liver cancer cell growth. We performed TMT-labeled quantitative lysine crotonylome analysis in 12 pairs of hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent liver tissue and identified 3,793 lysine crotonylation sites in 1,428 proteins. We showed that crotonylation of lamin A at the site of K265/270 maintains its subcellular position, promotes liver cancer cell proliferation, and prevents cellular senescence. Our data indicate that HDAC6 is the decrotonylase of lamin A and downregulated in response to hypoxia, resulting in lamin A K265/270cr. Taken together, our study reveals the lamin A crotonylation in liver cancer progression and fills the research gap in non-histone protein crotonylation function.
