The disruption of circadian rhythms caused by long-term shift work can cause metabolic diseases such as obesity. Early growth response 3 (EGR3) is a member of early growth response (EGR) family, which is involved in several cellular responses, had been reported as a circadian rhythm gene in suprachiasmatic nucleus. In this research, EGR3 was found to be widely expressed in the different tissue of human and mice, and downregulated in adipose tissue of obese subjects and high-fat diet mice. Moreover, EGR3 was found negatively regulated by cortisol...

Legionella pneumophila ( L. pneumophila ) is a prevalent pathogenic bacterium responsible for significant global health concerns. Nonetheless, the precise pathogenic mechanisms of L. pneumophila have still remained elusive. Autophagy, a direct cellular response to L. pneumophila infection and other pathogens, involves the recognition and degradation of these invaders in lysosomes. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a distinctive member of the histone deacetylase family, plays a multifaceted role in autophagy regulation...

A series of novel benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesised based on the structures of reported oral available ALK inhibitor and HDAC inhibitor, pracinostat. In enzymatic assays, compound 3b , containing a 2-acyliminobenzimidazole moiety and hydroxamic acid side chain, could inhibit both ALK and HDAC6 (IC50 = 16 nM and 1.03 µM, respectively). Compound 3b also inhibited various ALK mutants known to be involved in crizotinib resistance, including mutant L1196M (IC50 , 4.9 nM)...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to deficits of various normal functions and is difficult to return to a normal state. Histone and non-histone protein acetylation after SCI is well documented and regulates spinal cord plasticity, axonal growth, and sensory axon regeneration. However, our understanding of protein acetylation after SCI is still limited. In this review, we summarize current research on the role of acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins in regulating neuron growth and axonal regeneration in SCI...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains highly lethal due to limited therapeutic options and expensive/burdensome drug discovery processes. Utilizing genomic-data-driven Connectivity Mapping (CMAP) to identify a drug closer to real-world PC targeting may improve pancreatic cancer (PC) patient outcomes. Initially, we mapped CMAP data to gene expression from 106 PC patients, identifying nine negatively connected drugs. These drugs were further narrowed down using a similar analysis for PC cell lines, human tumoroids, and patient-derived xenografts datasets, where ISOX emerged as the most potent agent to target PC...

The properties of single microtubules within the microtubule network can be modulated through post-translational modifications (PTMs), including acetylation within the lumen of microtubules. To access the lumen, the enzymes could enter through the microtubule ends and at damage sites along the microtubule shaft. Here we show that the acetylation profile depends on damage sites, which can be caused by the motor protein kinesin-1. Indeed, the entry of the deacetylase HDAC6 into the microtubule lumen can be modulated by kinesin-1-induced damage sites...

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a key therapeutic target in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), which has been demonstrated to play an essential role in memory function and microtubule-associated tau physiology. In this study, W5 was used to treat AD model rats induced by Aβ/Cu2+ to study the improving effect of W5 on learning and memory impairment in AD rats and its related mechanism, to provide the basis for the subsequent development of W5 as an anti-AD drug. Results showed that W5 could decrease the expression of Aβ, Tau, and p-Tau proteins in the hippocampus of AD rats to inhibit the formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, down-regulate the expression of Bax mRNA and Caspase-3 mRNA, and up-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA to reduce the apoptosis of neuron cells, reverse the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA to regulate neuroinflammatory response in AD rat brain...

PURPOSE: Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has emerged as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Noninvasive imaging of HDAC6 in the brain by positron emission tomography (PET) would accelerate research into its roles in these diseases. We recently discovered an 18 F-labeled derivative of the selective HDAC6 inhibitor SW-100 ([18 F]FSW-100) as a potential candidate for brain HDAC6 radioligand. As a mandatory step prior to clinical translation, we performed preclinical validation of [18 F]FSW-100...

Schistosomiasis is a major neglected parasitic disease that affects more than 240 million people worldwide caused by Platyhelminthes of the genus Schistosoma. The treatment of schistosomiasis relies on the long-term application of a single safe drug, praziquantel (PZQ). Unfortunately, PZQ is very effective on adult parasites and poorly on larval stage and immature juvenile worms; this can partially explain the re-infection in endemic areas where patients are likely to host parasites at different developmental stages concurrently...

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have emerged as promising cancer therapeutics due to their ability to induce differentiation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in cancer cells. In the present review, we have described the systemic discovery and development of HDAC inhibitors. Researchers across the globe have identified various small molecules like benzo[d][1,3]dioxol derivatives, belinostat analogs, pyrazine derivatives, quinazolin- 4-one-based derivatives, 2,4-imidazolinedione derivatives, acridine hydroxamic acid derivatives, coumarin derivatives, tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives, thiazole-5-carboxamide, salicylamide derivatives, β-peptoid- capped HDAC inhibitors, quinazoline derivatives, benzimidazole and benzothiazole derivatives, and β- elemene scaffold containing HDAC inhibitors...

BACKGROUND: Cancer cells can overexpress CD47, an innate immune checkpoint that prevents phagocytosis upon interaction with signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) expressed in macrophages and other myeloid cells. Several clinical trials have reported that CD47 blockade reduces tumor growth in hematological malignancies. However, CD47 blockade has shown modest results in solid tumors, including melanoma. Our group has demonstrated that histone deacetylase 6 inhibitors (HDAC6is) have immunomodulatory properties, such as controlling macrophage phenotype and inflammatory properties...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and irreversible condition characterized by the deposition of extracellular matrix resulting from repetitive damage to the alveolar epithelium. These injuries, along with dysregulated wound repair and fibroblast dysfunction, lead to continuous tissue remodeling and fibrosis, eventually resulting in end-stage pulmonary fibrosis. Currently, there is no specific pharmacological treatment available for IPF. The role of inflammation in the development of IPF is still a topic of debate, and it is sometimes considered incidental to fibrosis...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) poses therapeutic challenges due to the limited treatment options. Building upon our previous research that demonstrates the efficacy of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibition in a genetic cardiomyopathy model, we investigate HDAC6's role in HFpEF due to their shared mechanisms of inflammation and metabolism. Here, we show that inhibiting HDAC6 with TYA-018 effectively reverses established heart failure and its associated symptoms in male HFpEF mouse models...

Activation of NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing protein 3) has been associated with multiple chronic pathologies, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Moreover, histone deacetylases (HDACs), specifically HDAC6 is required for the NLRP3 inflammasome to assemble and activate. Thus, NLRP3 serves as an attractive target for the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Several companies are now attempting to develop specific modulators of the NLRP3 inflammasome, but only a handful of small molecules of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors, such as MCC950 and Tranilast, are currently available for clinical use...

To explore the role of Ras-association domain family 1 A (RASSF1A) in TGFβ2-induced changes of lens epithelial cells (LECs) behavior. The human LEC line SRA01/04 cells were treated with TGFβ2 in the presence or absence of RASSF1A and histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6). qRT-PCR and western blot were performed to analysis mRNA and proteins expression. Cell proliferation was evaluated using MTT assay and colony formation assay. Transwell and scratch-wound healing assays were conducted to detected cell migration ability...

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has drawn more and more attention for its potential application in Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. A series of tetrahydro-β-carboline (THβC) hydroxamic acids with aryl linker were synthesized. In enzymatic assay, all compounds exhibited nanomolar IC50 values. The most promising compound 11d preferentially inhibited HDAC6 (IC50 , 8.64 nM) with approximately 149-fold selectivity over HDAC1. Molecular simulation revealed that the hydroxamic acid of 11d could bind to the zinc ion by a bidentate chelating manner...

DESIGN: The major salivary glands of C57/BL6 mice were separately removed at 10, 25, 30,60 and 90 days after birth. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemical staining were performed for HDACs...

BACKGROUND: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the most refractory prostate cancer, inevitably progresses and becomes unresponsive to hormone therapy, revealing a pressing unmet need for this disease. Novel agents targeting HDAC6 and microtubule dynamics can be a potential anti-CRPC strategy. METHODS: Cell proliferation was examined in CRPC PC-3 and DU-145 cells using sulforhodamine B assay and anchorage-dependent colony formation assay. Flow cytometric analysis of propidium iodide staining was used to determine cell-cycle progression...

Bacterial infections represent a key public health issue due to the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recently, the amount of data supporting the dynamic control of epigenetic pathways by environmental cues has triggered research efforts toward the clarification of their role in microbial infections. Among protein post-translational modifications, reversible acetylation is the most implicated in the feedback to environmental stimuli and in cellular homeostasis. Accordingly, the latest studies identified the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) enzyme as a crucial player in the complex molecular machinery underlying bacterial clearance or killing...
