Biochem/physiol Actions

Trichostatin A (TSA) inhibits histone deacetylase at nanomolar concentrations; resultant histone hyperacetylation leads to chromatin relaxation and modulation of gene expression. May be involved in cell cycle progression of several cell types, inducing cell growth arrest at both G and G/M phases; may induce apoptosis. Enhances the efficacy of anticancer agents that target DNA. Trichostatin A serves as an epigenetic modifier.

The transcription factor Sox6 has been implicated in regulating muscle fiber type-specific gene expression in mammals. In zebrafish, loss of function of the transcription factor Prdm1a results in a slow to fast-twitch fiber type transformation presaged by ectopic expression of

Bone formation during fracture repair inevitably initiates within or around extravascular deposits of a fibrin-rich matrix. In addition to a central role in hemostasis, fibrin is thought to enhance bone repair by supporting inflammatory and mesenchymal progenitor egress into the

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are promising therapeutic targets for neurological and psychiatric disorders that impact cognitive ability, but the relationship between various HDAC isoforms and cognitive improvement is poorly understood, particularly in mouse models of memory impairment. A goal shared by

Diagnosis and treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer is challenging due to the poor understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. Our aim was to investigate epigenetic mechanisms in ovarian tumorigenesis and, especially, whether tumors with different histological subtypes or hereditary
