Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors: Updated Studies in Various Epigenetic-Related Diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Overexpression of Histone deacetylases as key players in mediating gene expression have been demonstrated to be involved in numerous types of cancer and some isoforms also in neurological, inflammatory and viral pathologies. There is large evidence that histone deacetylase inhibitors can be applied for their treatment. This review summarizes recent clinical aspects and efforts in the drug development of histone deacetylase inhibitors and their potential use in therapy. Not only novel potent and selective histone deacetylase inhibitors to fight specific types of cancer or non-cancerous diseases are presented but also the interesting therapeutic approach to use histone deacetylase inhibitors joint with other epigenetic modulators and / or other chemotherapeutics to combine their therapeutic potential are being discussed.

Microglia is the effector cell of the innate immune system in central nervous system (CNS). These cells mediate inflammatory responses in injuries. Besides external factors, microglial function is also controlled by internal factors, including epigenetic regulations. Mechanisms of epigenetic regulation mainly consist of DNA methylation, histone modifications and use of non-coding RNAs. Recent s...

متن کاملThe Process and Strategy for Developing Selective Histone Deacetylase 3 Inhibitors.
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetic drug targets that have gained major scientific attention. Inhibition of these important regulatory enzymes is used to treat cancer, and has the potential to treat a host of other diseases. However, currently marketed HDAC inhibitors lack selectivity for the various HDAC isoenzymes. Several studies have shown that HDAC3, in particular, plays an importa...
