General description

A potent and reversible inhibitor of histone deacetylase. Blocks cell cycle progression at the G1 phase in HeLa cells and induces a 12-fold increase in intracellular levels of gelsolin. Induces reversion of oncogenic ras-tranformed NIH 3T3 cells to a normal morphology. Inhibits IL-2 gene expression (IC50 = 73 nM) in Jurkat cells and shows immunosuppressive activity in a mouse model. IC50 = 6 nM for HDAC1; 38 nM for HDAC4, and 8.6 nM for HDAC6A.
A potent and reversible, cell-permeable inhibitor of histone deacetylase. Blocks cell cycle progression at the G1 phase in HeLa cells and induces a 12-fold increase in intracellular levels of gelsolin. Induces reversion of oncogenic ras-transformed NIH/3T3 cells to a normal morphology. Inhibits IL-2 gene expression (IC50 = 73 nM) in Jurkat cells and shows immunosuppressive activity in a mouse model. Down-regulates p57kip2 in Hep 3Bcells. IC50 = 6 nM for HDAC1; 38 nM for HDAC4, and 8.6 nM for HDAC6A. 10 mM (500 µg/165 µl) solution of Trichostatin A, Streptomyces sp. (Cat. No. 647926) in DMSO is also available.

The baseline level of transcription, which is variable and difficult to quantify, seriously complicates the normalization of comparative transcriptomic data, but its biological importance remains unappreciated. We show that this currently neglected ingredient is essential for controlling gene network multistability

Exogenous molecules derived from catabolic states (e.g., fatty acids, β-hydroxybutyrate) during periods of stress such as the periparturient period or pathogen challenges [e.g., lipopolysaccharide (LPS)] can trigger an inflammatory response in tissues such as the liver and the mammary gland.

Acute and chronic inflammations are key homeostatic events in health and disease. Sirtuins (SIRTs), a family of NAD-dependent protein deacylases, play a pivotal role in the regulation of these inflammatory responses. Indeed, SIRTs have anti-inflammatory effects through a myriad of
