Sumario:Oxidative stress is a hallmark of metabolic disease, though the mechanisms that define this link are not fully understood. Irreversible modification of proteins by reactive lipid aldehydes (protein carbonylation) is a major consequence of oxidative stress in adipose tissue and the substrates and specificity of this modification are largely unexplored. Here we show that histones are avidly modified by 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) in vitro and in vivo. Carbonylation of histones by 4-HNE increased with age in male flies and visceral fat depots of mice and was potentiated in genetic (ob/ob) and high-fat feeding models of obesity. Proteomic evaluation of in vitro 4-HNE- modified histones led to the identification of both Michael and Schiff base adducts. In contrast, mapping of sites in vivo from obese mice exclusively revealed Michael adducts. In total, we identified 11 sites of 4-hydroxy hexenal (4-HHE) and 10 sites of 4-HNE histone modification in visceral adipose tissue. In summary, these results characterize adipose histone carbonylation as a redox-linked epigenomic mark associated with metabolic disease and aging.
