چکیده

BACKGROUND Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors present an exciting new approach to activate HIV production from latently infected cells to potentially enhance elimination of these cells and achieve a cure. M344, a novel HDAC inhibitor, shows robust activity in a variety of cancer cells and relatively low toxicity compared to trichostatin A (TSA). However, little is known about the effects and action mechanism of M344 in inducing HIV expression in latently infected cells. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using the Jurkat T cell model of HIV latency, we demonstrate that M344 effectively reactivates HIV-1 gene expression in latently infected cells. Moreover, M344-mediated activation of the latent HIV LTR can be strongly inhibited by a NF-κB inhibitor aspirin. We further show that M344 acts by increasing the acetylation of histone H3 and histone H4 at the nucleosome 1 (nuc-1) site of the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) and by inducing NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and direct RelA DNA binding at the nuc-1 region of the HIV-1 LTR. We also found that M344 synergized with prostratin to activate the HIV-1 LTR promoter in latently infected cells. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest the potential of M344 in anti-latency therapies and an important role for histone modifications and NF-κB transcription factors in regulating HIV-1 LTR gene expression.

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor M344 Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Induces Apoptosis in Human THP-1 Leukemia Cells.

Histone acetylation plays an important role in the silencing and activation of genes involved in tumoregenesis. Trichostatin A, originally identified as an anti-fungal drug, is a potent inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) with potential anti-tumor activity. In this study, we investigated the effect of M344, an amide analogues of trichostatin A, on the growth and differentiation of THP-1 hum...

Duration of nuclear NF-kappaB action regulated by reversible acetylation.

The nuclear expression and action of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) transcription factor requires signal-coupled phosphorylation and degradation of the IkappaB inhibitors, which normally bind and sequester this pleiotropically active factor in the cytoplasm. The subsequent molecular events that regulate the termination of nuclear NF-kappaB action remain poorly defined, although the acti...

Cooperation of SRC-1 and p300 with NF-kappaB and CREB in angiotensin II-induced IL-6 expression in vascular smooth muscle cells.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of coactivator histone acetyltransferases (HATs) p300 and SRC-1 in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS AND RESULTS Ang II increased IL-6 mRNA expression via NF-kappaB and CREB in an extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent manner in rat VS...

Histone deacetylase inhibition down-regulates cyclin D1 transcription by inhibiting nuclear factor-kappaB/p65 DNA binding.

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are emerging as a promising new class of cancer therapeutic agents. HDAC inhibitors relieve the deacetylation of histone proteins. However, little is known about the nonhistone targets of HDAC inhibitors and their roles in gene regulation. In this study, we addressed the molecular basis of the down-regulation of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB)-respons...

Impact of post-translational modifications of proteins on the inflammatory process.

PTM (post-translational modification) is the chemical modification of a protein after its translation. The well-studied PTM is phosphorylation, but, recently, PTMs have been re-focused by extensive studies on histone modifications and the discovery of the ubiquitin system. Histone acetylation is the well-established epigenetic regulator for gene expression. Recent studies show that different pa...
