Histone deacetylase-3 (HDAC3) is involved in cellular proliferation, apoptosis and transcriptional repression. However, the role of HDAC3 in angiogenesis remains unknown. HDAC3 negatively regulated the expression of angiogenic factors, such as VEGF and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). HDAC3 showed binding to promoter sequences of PAI-1. HDAC3 activity was necessary for the expression regulation of PAI-1 by HDAC3. VEGF decreased the expression of HDAC3, and the down-regulation of HDAC3 enhanced endothelial cell tube formation. HDAC3 negatively regulated tumor-induced angiogenic potential. We show the novel role of HDAC3 as a negative regulator of angiogenesis.

This study reports the pharmacokinetics of a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor, SD-0542, in rats after i..v. and oral administration. SD-0542 was injected intravenously at doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg. The terminal elimination half-life $(t_{1/2})$, systemic clearance (Cl), and steady-state volume of distribution $(V_{ss})$ remained unaltered as a function of dose, with their values ranging from 2.0-2.5 hr, 157.2-214.1 ml/min/kg, and 11.1-17.5 L/kg, respectively, whereas, the initial serum concentration $(C_0)$ and AUC increased linearly as the dose was increased. Renal excretion of SD-0542 was minimal. Oral pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in rats at a dose of 20 mg/kg. The $T_{max}$, Cl/F, $V_{z}/F$, and $t_{1/2}$ were 2.0 hr, 92864 ml/min/kg, 16331 L/kg, and 2.0 hr, respectively. Taken together, SD-0542 showed linear pharmacokinetics over the i.v. bolus dose range studied. SD-0542 was poorly absorbed, with the absolute oral bioavailability of 0.9%.

Inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity modulates the epigenetic status of cells, resulting in an alteration of gene expression and cellular function. Here, we investigated the effects of HDAC inhibitors on mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. The HDAC inhibitors trichostatin A, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, sodium butyrate, and valproic acid induced early differentiation of mouse ES cells and triggered induction of heat-shock protein (HSP)70. In contrast, class III HDAC inhibitors failed to induce differentiation or HSP70 expression. Transcriptional upregulation of HSP70 was confirmed by mRNA expression analysis, an inhibitor study, and chromatin immunoprecipitation. HSP70 induction was dependent on the SAPK/JNK, p38, and PI3K/Akt pathways. Differentiation and induction of HSP70 by a subset of HDAC inhibitors was also examined in human ES cells, which suggests that the phenomenon generally occurs in ES cells. A better understanding of the effects of HDAC inhibitors may give more insight into their application in stem cell biology.

Combination chemotherapy is more effective than mono-chemotherapy and is widely used in clinical practice for enhanced cancer treatment. In this study, we investigated the potential synergistic effects of acetaminophen, a common component in many cold medicines, and romidepsin, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, in the A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line. The combination of acetaminophen and romidepsin also exerted significant cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by activation of caspase-3 on tumor cells in vitro. Moreover, combination therapy significantly induced increased production of chemokines that stimulate migration of activated T-cells into tumor cells. This mechanism can lead to active T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity in addition to the direct cytotoxic chemotherapeutic effect. Activated T-cells led to enhanced cytotoxicity in drug-treated A549 cells through interaction with tumor cells. These results suggested that the interaction between the two drugs is synergistic and significant. In conclusion, our data showed that the use of romidepsin and low concentrations acetaminophen could induce effective anti-tumor effects via enhanced tumor immune and direct cytotoxic chemotherapeutic responses. The combination of acetaminophen with romidepsin should be considered as a promising strategy for the treatment of lung cancer.

CG200745 is a novel inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), initially developed for treatment of various hematological and solid cancers. Because it is water-soluble, it can be administered orally. We hypothesized that the HDAC inhibitor, CG200745, attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-induced hypertensive rats. For establishment of hypertension, 40 mg/kg of DOCA was subcutaneously injected four times weekly into Sprague-Dawley rats. All the rats used in this study including those in the sham group had been unilaterally nephrectomized and allowed free access to drinking water containing 1% NaCl. Systolic blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method. Blood chemistry including sodium, potassium, glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels was analyzed. Sections of the heart were visualized after trichrome and hematoxylin and eosin stain. The expression of hypertrophic genes such as atrial natriuretic peptide A (Nppa) and atrial natriuretic peptide B (Nppb) in addition to fibrotic genes such as Collagen-1, Collagen-3, connective tissue growth factor (Ctgf), and Fibronectin were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Injection of DOCA increased systolic blood pressure, heart weight, and cardiac fibrosis, which was attenuated by CG200745. Neither DOCA nor CG200745 affected body weight, vascular contraction and relaxation responses, and blood chemistry. Injection of DOCA increased expression of both hypertrophic and fibrotic genes, which was abrogated by CG200745. These results indicate that CG200745 attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in DOCA-induced hypertensive rats.

The objective of this study was to analyse the effects of MS-275 (Class I and II histone deacetylase inhibitor) supplementation on the development of porcine in-vitro somatic nuclear transfer embryo production. During in-vitro development, early embryos were exposed to different concentrations of MS-275 (0, $5{\mu}M$, $10{\mu}M$, and $20{\mu}M$). In in-vitro culture supplemented group, the blastocyst development rate was significantly enhanced by $10{\mu}M$ concentration than other groups (24.0% vs. 19.3%, 21.8%, 11.5%; P < 0.05). Additionally, the 6 h supplementation group, significantly improved the blastocysts production than 24 h, 48 h and control groups (26.1% vs. 17.0%, 15.2%, 2.8%; P < 0.05). Following supplementation with optimal concentrations and time ($10{\mu}M$-6 h group), the blastocyst production was significantly higher than control (25.7% vs 15.8%; P < 0.05). The optimal concentrations of MS-275 significantly enhanced the percentages of ICM:TE than control (43.6% vs. 38.4%; P < 0.05) accompanied with significantly higher expression levels of reprogramming related genes (POU5F1, Naong, and SOX2). In conclusion, the optimal concentrations of $10{\mu}M$ MS-275 and 6 h supplementation during in-vitro culture can significantly improve the quality of porcine in-vitro somatic nuclear transfer embryos through histone acetylation and epigenetic modification. Increasing the efficiency of clonal animal production will greatly promote the development of animal disease models and xenotransplantation.

IL-10⁺ regulatory B (Breg) cells play a vital role in regulating the immune responses in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, colitis, and contact hypersensitivity (CHS). Several stimulants such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), CD40 ligand, and IL-21 spur the activation and maturation of IL-10⁺ Breg cells, while the epigenetic mechanism for the IL-10 expression remains largely unknown. It is well accepted that the histone acetylation/deacetylation is an important mechanism that regulates the expression of IL-10. We found that entinostat, an HDAC inhibitor, stimulated the induction of IL-10⁺ Breg cells by LPS in vitro and the formation of IL-10⁺ Breg cells to suppress CHS in vivo. We further demonstrated that entinostat inhibited HDAC1 from binding to the proximal region of the IL-10 expression promoter in splenic B cells, followed by an increase in the binding of NF-κB p65, eventually enhancing the expression of IL-10 in Breg cells.

TRAIL은 정상세포에서는 세포독성을 나타내지 않는 반면, 암세포에서는 사멸을 유도하므로 항암제로 각광받고 있지만 많은 암세포에서 TRAIL에 저항성을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려져 있으므로 이를 극복해야하는 큰 어려움이 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 TRAIL에 저항성을 가지는 인간 방광암 세포주인 5637 세포를 이용하여 histone deacetylase 억제제인 sodium butyrate (SB)와 TRAIL을 혼합처리하였을 경우 유발되는 세포사멸 효과와 이와 관련된 분자생물학적 메카니즘을 연구하였다. 세포독성이 없는 조건의 TRAIL과 SB를 혼합처리 하였을 경우 SB 단독처리군 보다 세포사멸이 현저하게 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. TRAIL과 SB의 혼합처리는 caspases (caspase-3, -8 and -9)의 활성화 및 PARP의 단편화를 유발하였다. 하지만 caspase 억제제에 의하여 TRAIL과 SB의 혼합처리에 의하여 유발되는 apoptosis가 현저하게 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 TRAIL과 SB의 혼합처리는 세포표면에 존재하는 DR5의 발현 증가 및 c-FLIP의 발현 감소를 유발하였으며, pro-apoptotic protein인 Bax와 세포질 cytochrome c의 발현 증가 및 anti- apoptotic protein인 Bcl-xL의 발현감소와 함께 tBid의 형성을 유발하였다. 이는 SB와 TRAIL의 혼합처리가 안전하고 선택적으로 TRAIL에 저항성을 가지는 방광암 세포에서 치료하는데 효과적인 전략임을 제시하는 결과이다.
