Class I histone deacetylases are critical regulators of gene transcription by erasing lysine acetylation. Targeting histone deacetylases using relative non-specific small molecule inhibitors is of major interest in the treatment of cancer, neurological ...

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors [PDF]
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 ...

Selective targeting of HDAC1/2 elicits anticancer effects through Gli1 acetylation in preclinical models of SHH Medulloblastoma. [PDF]
SHH Medulloblastoma (SHH-MB) is a pediatric brain tumor characterized by an inappropriate activation of the developmental Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. SHH-MB patients treated with the FDA-approved vismodegib, an Hh inhibitor that targets the transmembrane ...

Epigenetics in ovarian cancer: premise, properties, and perspectives. [PDF]
Malignant ovarian tumors bear the highest mortality rate among all gynecological cancers. Both late tumor diagnosis and tolerance to available chemical therapy increase patient mortality.

Targeting Histone Deacetylases 6 in Dual-Target Therapy of Cancer
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are the major regulators of the balance of acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins. In contrast to other HDAC isoforms, HDAC6 is mainly involved in maintaining the acetylation balance of many non-histone proteins ...

HDAC-mediated control of ERK- and PI3K-dependent TGF-β-induced extracellular matrix-regulating genes [PDF]
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate the acetylation of histones in the control of gene expression. Many non-histone proteins are also targeted for acetylation, including TGF-ß signalling pathway components such as Smad2, Smad3 and Smad7. Our studies in

Butyrate Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors
In addition to being a part of the metabolic fatty acid fuel cycle, butyrate is also capable of inducing growth arrest in a variety of normal cell types and senescence-like phenotypes in gynecological cancer cells, inhibiting DNA synthesis and cell growth in colonic tumor cell lines, suppressing hTERT mRNA expression and telomerase activity in human ...

Carbamates as Potential Prodrugs and a New Warhead for HDAC Inhibition
We designed and synthesized carbamates of the clinically-approved HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, SAHA) in order to validate our previously-proposed hypothesis that these carbamates might serve as ...
