This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Trichostatin A (TSA) on cumulus expansion during mouse oocyte maturation. TSA treatment inhibited cumulus expansion and significantly reduced the cumulus expansion index (CEI) (p<0.05). To determine the underlying mechanism, the expression levels of several key factors that play crucial roles in cumulus expansion including components of ext...

This study examined the mechanism for the anti-cancer effects of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TsA) in H-ras-transformed human breast epithelial (MCF10A-ras) cells. The effects of TsA on anti-cancer effects of MCF10A-ras cells were determined by measuring the level of cell cycle regulator expression and apoptotic cell death using Western blotting and flow cytometry analys...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in liver carcinogenesis. We previously showed that the induction of lncRNA-uc002mbe.2 is positively associated with the apoptotic effect of trichostatin A (TSA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The current study further analyzed the role of uc002mbe.2 in TSA-induced liver cancer cell death. The level of uc002mbe.2 was markedly increase...

We sought to determine if the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDI), trichostatin A (TSA), would alter systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in NZB/W mice. Fourteen to sixteen-week-old female NZB/W F1 mice were given TSA (1.0mg/kg body weight (BW)) intraperitonealy (i.p.) daily, TSA (1.0mg/kg BW) i.p.+anti-CD25 (250mg/mouse) i.p. every third day, only anti-CD25 (250mg/mouse) i.p., DMSO or isotype Ig...

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are currently used in the routine clinical treatment of cancer. Alongside the antitumor activity of HDACi, increased attention has been paid to their anti‑inflammatory effects. The present study aimed to analyze the inhibitory effects of the HDACi Trichostatin A (TSA), on the release of inflammatory mediators from macrophages differentiated from U‑937 cell...

We investigated the effects of exposure time and concentration of trichostatin A (TSA) on in vitro development and quality of bovine SCNT embryos. At multiple time points, the relative expression of genes related to pluripotency and reprogramming was analyzed in order to assess the quality of preimplantation embryos cultured in media with TSA using real-time PCR. Development into blastocysts wa...

Recently we have demonstrated the possibility to replace histones with protamine, through the heterologous expression of human protamine 1 (hPrm1) gene in sheep fibroblasts. Here we have optimized protaminization of somatic nucleus by adjusting the best concentration and exposure time to trichostatin A (TSA) in serum-starved fibroblasts (nuclear quiescence), before expressing Prm1 gene. To stop...

PURPOSE This preclinical study is to determine whether the capacity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors to enhance radiation response depends on temporal sequences of HDAC inhibition and irradiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of HDAC inhibitors trichostatin A (TSA) and SK-7041 on radiosensitivity in human lung cancer cells were examined using a clonogenic assay, exposing cells to...

The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between real-time PCR (RT-PCR) treated as a reference method and in situ hybridization with tyramide amplification system (ISH-TSA) in the detection of HPV16 and 18 infection and the assessment of viral genome status. The study was performed on cervical cancer biopsies fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin obtained f...
