Class II histone deacetylases: versatile regulators.
Histone acetylation and deacetylation play essential roles in modifying chromatin structure and regulating gene expression in eukaryotes. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and are found in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors. Human HDACs are grouped into three classes based on their similarity t...
متن کاملClass IIa Histone Deacetylases Are Hormone-Activated Regulators of FOXO and Mammalian Glucose Homeostasis
Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) are signal-dependent modulators of transcription with established roles in muscle differentiation and neuronal survival. We show here that in liver, class IIa HDACs (HDAC4, 5, and 7) are phosphorylated and excluded from the nucleus by AMPK family kinases. In response to the fasting hormone glucagon, class IIa HDACs are rapidly dephosphorylated and transloc...
متن کاملInhibitors of histone deacetylases in class I and class II suppress human osteoclasts in vitro.
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) suppress cancer cell growth, inflammation, and bone resorption. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of inhibitors of different HDAC classes on human osteoclast activity in vitro. Human osteoclasts generated from blood mononuclear cells stimulated with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK) ligand were treated with a novel compoun...
متن کاملClass I and Class II Histone Deacetylases Are Potential Therapeutic Targets for Treating Pancreatic Cancer
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant disease with an extremely poor prognosis. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) have shown promising antitumor activities against preclinical models of pancreatic cancer, either alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, we sought to identify clinically relevant histone deacetylases (HDACs) to guide the selection of ...
متن کاملNuclear receptor corepressors partner with class II histone deacetylases in a Sin3-independent repression pathway.
Transcriptional repression mediated by corepressors N-CoR and SMRT is a critical function of nuclear hormone receptors, and is dysregulated in human myeloid leukemias. At the present time, these corepressors are thought to act exclusively through an mSin3/HDAC1 complex. Surprisingly, however, numerous biochemical studies have not detected N-CoR or SMRT in mSin3- and HDAC1-containing complexes. ...
