HDACi and Nrf2: not from alpha to omega but from acetylation to OA
نویسنده
چکیده
Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) is probably the most important ubiquitously expressed little protein that you have never heard of. Discovered more than 20 years ago, it is now known as a master regulator of redox homeostasis, controlling a plethora of cytoprotective phase II anti-oxidant enzymes. Regulation of gene expression by histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases drives the etiology of many age-related human diseases, including osteoarthritis. In Arthritis Research & Therapy, Cai et al. explore systemic histone deacetylase inhibition as a strategy to prevent osteoarthritis and identify a role for Nrf2 in preventing cartilage degeneration.

Histone deacetylase inhibition activates Nrf2 and protects against osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease that can cause gradual disability among the aging population. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor that regulates the expression of phase II antioxidant enzymes that provide protection against oxidative stress and tissue damage. The use of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) has emerged as ...

Background: It is known that acetylation level of the nuclear histones in cloned embryos is lower compare to normally developed embryos. Histone deacetylas inhibitors (HDACi) with improvement of acetylation level in these embryos can affect embryo quality in pre-implantation stage and expression level of different genes especially developmental genes. Materials and Methods: In this research, SA...
متن کاملOpposite effects of histone deacetylase inhibitors on glucocorticoid and estrogen signaling in human endometrial Ishikawa cells.
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), which have emerged as a new class of anticancer agents, act by modulating expression of genes controlling apoptosis or cell proliferation. Here, we compared the effect of HDACi on transcriptional activation by estrogen or glucocorticoid receptors (ER and GR, respectively), two members of the steroid receptor family with cell growth regulatory properties. ...

Background Asthenozoospermia accounts for almost 50% of the cases of male infertility. Our study investigating phosphoproteins differentially expressed in asthenozoosperm has identified the phosphoproteins relevant to sperm motility and the signature molecules likely to be altered in asthenozoospermia. The 66 phosphoproteins differentially expressed included four alpha tubulin isoforms which we...
