A Histone Deacetylase Regulates Addiction

چکیده

Epigenetic modification of chromatin has been proposed to translate environmental stimuli into persistent "cellular memories." Recent studies suggest that epigenetic pathways regulate long-term behavioral adaptation in the nervous system. In this issue of Neuron, Renthal et al. utilize genetic manipulations of HDAC5 to provide strong evidence for a role for histone acetylation in the behavioral response to cocaine.

Regulated Shuttling of the Histone Deacetylase HDAC5 to the Nucleus May Put a Brake on Cocaine Addiction

The histone deacetylase HDAC5 has been shown to regulate behavioral adaptations to cocaine. In this issue of Neuron, Taniguchi et al. (2012) describe a cAMP-dependent signaling pathway that regulates nuclear accumulation of HDAC5, suggesting a mechanism to couple cocaine with changes in HDAC5 function.

Search for the Pharmacophore of Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors Using Pharmacophore Query and Docking Study

Histone deacetylase inhibitors have gained a great deal of attention recently for the treatment of cancers and inflammatory diseases. So design of new inhibitors is of great importance in pharmaceutical industries and labs. Creating pharmacophor models in order to design new molecules or search a library for finding lead compounds is of great interest. This approach reduces the overall cost ass...

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitory and Cytotoxic Activities of the Constituents from the Roots of Sophora Pachycarpa

Four prenylated flavonoids including isosophoranone, sophoraflavanone G, alopecurone J, alopecurone P and a resveratrol derivative HPD (2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b] furan-3,4,6-triol), were isolated from the roots of Sophora pachycarpa. The cytotoxic activity of obtained compounds was evaluated against A2780, A549, HeLa, and HCT116 human cancer cell lines. We also evaluated their his...
