BMC Biology, 2006 Background Histone deacetylases are enzymes that modify core histones and play key roles in transcriptional regulation, chromatin assembly, DNA repair, and recombination in eukaryotes. Three types of related histone deacetylases (classes 1, 2, and 4) are

Histone deacetylase inhibitors [PDF]
Journal of Thoracic Oncology, 2011 Histone modification and DNA methylation are critical events that determine gene expression. Histone deacetylases (HDAC) render several critical genes transcriptionally inactive by conferring a “hyperwound” configuration. HDAC inhibition leads to unwinding of the DNA and makes it available to the transcriptional machinery for expression of a number of ...

The deacetylase HDAC6 is an essential component of stress granules and plays a critical role in the cellular response to stress [PDF]
, 2007 The reversible acetylation of histones has a critical role in transcriptional regulation. Likewise reversible acetylation of non-histones proteins is also important for other cellular processes.

Nature Communications, 2020 In S. pombe, small non-coding RNA mediates heterochromatin formation by recruiting the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylase complex. Here, the authors show that fly nucleosome remodeler Mi-2 and histone deacetylase Rpd3 are involved in piRNA ...

Mechanism of assembly, activation and lysine selection by the SIN3B histone deacetylase complex
Nature Communications, 2023 Lysine acetylation in histone tails is a key post-translational modification that controls transcription activation. Histone deacetylase complexes remove histone acetylation, thereby repressing transcription and regulating the transcriptional output of ...

The histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid alters growth properties of renal cell carcinoma in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
, 2008 Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors represent a promising class of antineoplastic agents which affect tumour growth, differentiation and invasion. The effects of the HDAC inhibitor valproic acid (VPA) were tested in vitro and in vivo on pre-clinical ...

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Ischemia/reperfusion injury is a complex molecular cascade that causes deleterious cellular damage and organ dysfunction. Stroke, sudden cardiac arrest, and acute myocardial infarction are the most common causes of ischemia/reperfusion injury without ...

Comprehensive suppression of all apoptosis-induced proliferation pathways as a proposed approach to colorectal cancer prevention and therapy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Mutations in the WNT/beta-catenin pathway are present in the majority of all sporadic colorectal cancers (CRCs), and histone deacetylase inhibitors induce apoptosis in CRC cells with such mutations.

Resistance after chronic application of the HDAC-inhibitor valproic acid is associated with elevated Akt activation in renal cell carcinoma in vivo [PDF]
, 2013 Targeted drugs have significantly improved the therapeutic options for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, resistance often develops, negating the benefit of these agents.
