Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition as a therapeutic regimen in motor neuron diseases (MND) is generating intense interest in both the scientific and medical areas, with a number of potent compounds having demonstrated good safety profiles and hints of clinical activity on animal models.
The use of HDACi and possible mechanisms of action will be reviewed in three MND, i.e. amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), diseases among which clinical trials with HDACi are currently perfomed (ALS, SMA).

In the current study, we investigated the molecular link between TGF-beta1-mediated myofibroblast differentiation and histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity.

In this study, we investigated the effect of trichostatin A (TSA), a specific histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, on the activation of renal interstitial fibroblasts in a rat renal interstitial fibroblast line (NRK-49F) and the development of renal fibrosis in a murine model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). alpha-Smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and fibronectin, two hallmarks of fibroblast activation, were highly expressed in cultured NRK-49F cells, and their expression was inhibited in the presence of TSA.

Hum Mol Genet. 2009 Jan 15;18(2):304-17. Epub 2008 Oct 29.


We identified histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors including vorinostat and romidepsin which are able to bypass SMN2 gene silencing by DNA methylation, while others such as valproic acid and phenylbutyrate do not, due to HDAC isoenzyme specificities.

METHODS: In this preliminary study, we investigated the effect of phenylbutyrate, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, on SMN2 expression in two SMA type III Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines to understand the suitability of lymphoblastoid cell lines in drug screening.
