Effects of Trichostatin A on the Histone Deacetylases (HDACs), Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway, p21/Waf1/Cip1, and p53 in Human Neuroblastoma, Glioblastoma, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, and Colon Cancer Cell Lines
Background: The aberrant and altered patterns of gene expression play an important role in the biology of cancer and tumorigenesis. DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are the most studied epigenetic mechanisms. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) such as valproic acid (VPA) and trichostatin A (TSA) are a group of anticancer compounds for the treatment of solid and hematological canc...
متن کاملHDAC Inhibitors and Heat Shock Proteins (Hsps)
Epigenetic alterations, including DNA acetylation, hypermethylation and hypomethylation, and the associated transcriptional changes of the affected genes are central to the evolution and progression of various human cancers, including pancreatic cancer. Cancer-associated epigenetic alterations are attractive therapeutic targets because such epigenetic alterations, unlike genetic changes, are po...
متن کاملTargeting Histone Deacetylases for Cancer Therapy: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Implications
Genetic abnormalities have been conventionally considered as hallmarks of cancer. However, studies over the past decades have demonstrated that epigenetic regulation also participates in the development of cancer. The fundamental patterns of epigenetic components, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, are frequently altered in tumor cells. Acetylation is one of the best characteriz...
متن کاملHistone Deacetylases Control Neurogenesis in Embryonic Brain by Inhibition of BMP2/4 Signaling
BACKGROUND Histone-modifying enzymes are essential for a wide variety of cellular processes dependent upon changes in gene expression. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) lead to the compaction of chromatin and subsequent silencing of gene transcription, and they have recently been implicated in a diversity of functions and dysfunctions in the postnatal and adult brain including ocular dominance plast...
متن کاملHistone deacetylases and their roles in mineralized tissue regeneration
Histone acetylation is an important epigenetic mechanism that controls expression of certain genes. It includes non-sequence-based changes of chromosomal regional structure that can alter the expression of genes. Acetylation of histones is controlled by the activity of two groups of enzymes: the histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). HDACs remove acetyl groups from ...
متن کاملPlant Responses to Abiotic Stress Regulated by Histone Deacetylases
In eukaryotic cells, histone acetylation and deacetylation play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Histone acetylation levels are modulated by histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Recent studies indicate that HDACs play essential roles in the regulation of gene expression in plant response to environmental stress. In this review, we discussed the rec...
