Histone β-hydroxybutyrylation is a prevalent post-translational modification found on lysine residues of histones, originating from β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB), one of the key metabolites associated with ketone metabolism. This modification has garnered significant attention due to its critical role in regulating gene expression and its implications in various biological processes.
Research has found that interventions such as calorie restriction, ketogenic diets, and high-intensity exercise can increase the production of β-HB, which is positively correlated with muscle mass and declines with age. β-HB protects skeletal muscle through histone β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) modifications, regulating gene expression, enhancing the expression of mitochondrial-related genes, and improving mitochondrial function. Inhibition of histone Kbhb eliminates the protective effects of β-HB against sarcopenia. These findings suggest that targeting β-HB production and/or Kbhb could serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for age-related sarcopenia, particularly for elderly individuals who are unable to engage in physical activity.

Compared to traditional proteomics analysis, the key to histone modification analysis lies in the isolation and purification of histone components, as well as mitigating the impact of N-terminal lysine on the analysis of histone post-translational modifications. Since histones are located in the cell nucleus, MtoZ Biolabs has developed a specialized platform for histone extraction and purification, drawing on existing literature and experimental experience. Cells are homogenized and subjected to low-speed centrifugation to obtain the nuclei. The nuclei are then further disrupted to release histones and DNA. High-salt buffer is used to remove impurities, and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is employed to separate different histone components, achieving optimal purity for subsequent mass spectrometry analyses. Additionally, to eliminate the impact of N-terminal lysine, we utilize 2-3 different enzymes to enhance peptide coverage in mass spectrometry analysis during the digestion process. This multi-enzymatic digestion increases the coverage of histone peptides, preventing the loss of post-translational modification information due to unsuitable peptide lengths or low ionization efficiency.
