β-amyloid (Aβ) is an important protein molecule in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Accumulation of Aβ leads to the loss of dendritic spines and synapses. These impairments can be ameliorated by histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACI). However, the mechanisms of HDACIs underlying the effect on synapse are not fully understood. In this study, we examined the relationship between HDAC activity and synapse-related genes and proteins by the administration of a class I HDAC inhibitor, BG45, in the exogenous Aβ-treated cells and mice. Our studies showed that the treatment of HF-488-Aβ1–42 to SH-SY5Y cells first increased the expression of the postsynaptic dendritic protein (PSD), then decreased it after 36 h. BG45 can alleviate the reduction of the expression of PSD-95 as well as spinophilin and cytoskeletal protein induced by HF-488-Aβ1–42 aggregation in SH-SY5Y cells. Similar to the results in vitro, PSD-95 in the hippocampus was temporarily increased in the early days of intravenous injection HF-488-Aβ1–40 to the mice, followed by the decreased expression of PSD-95 on the 9th day. In further studies, for the mice treated with Aβ for 9 days, we found that BG45 decreased the expression of HDAC1 and 2, increased the expression of PSD-95, spinophilin, and synaptophysin (SYP). Our data also showed that BG45 upregulated levels of three synapse-related genes and proteins GRIK2, SCN3B, and SYNPR. These findings suggest that the exogenous Aβ may stimulate transiently the expression of PSD-95 at an early stage, but subsequently contribute to synaptic defects. HDAC1 and 2 are involved in synaptic defects, and BG45 may improve the expression of synaptic and cytoskeletal proteins and repair cytoskeletal damage by specifically inhibiting HDAC1 and 2, thereby modulating synapse-related genes. BG45 might be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of an early stage of Aβ-related neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract In mammalian cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), treatment of reconstructed embryos with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors improves efficiency. So far, most of those used for SCNT are hydroxamic acid derivatives—such as trichostatin A—characterized by their broad inhibitory spectrum. Here, we examined whether mouse SCNT efficiency could be improved using chlamydocin analogues, a family of newly designed agents that specifically inhibit Class I and IIa HDACs. Development of SCNT-derived embryos in vitro and in vivo revealed that four out of five chlamydocin analogues tested could promote the development of cloned embryos. The highest pup rates (7.1 to 7.2%) were obtained with Ky-9, similar to those achieved with trichostatin A (7.2 to 7.3%). Thus, inhibition of Class I and/or IIa HDACs in SCNT-derived embryos is enough for significant improvements in full-term development. In mouse SCNT, the exposure of reconstructed oocytes to HDAC inhibitors is limited to 8–10 h because longer inhibition with Class I inhibitors causes a 2-cell developmental block. Therefore, we used Ky-29, with higher selectivity for Class IIa than Class I HDACs for longer treatment of SCNT-derived embryos. As expected, 24-h treatment with Ky-29 up to the 2-cell stage did not induce a developmental block, but the pup rate was not improved. This suggests that the 1-cell stage is a critical period for improving SCNT cloning using HDAC inhibitors. Thus, chlamydocin analogues appear promising for understanding and improving the epigenetic status of mammalian SCNT-derived embryos through their specific inhibitory effects on HDACs.

Cardiac hypertrophy is often associated with the activation of signaling pathways that perpetuate altered calcium efflux and influx. One gene that is upregulated and contributes to altered intracellular calcium concentrations and worsening contractility during cardiac hypertrophy is the Sodium Calcium Exchanger ( Ncx1 ). Molecular studies implicate histone deacetylases (HDACs) in possibly regulating the expression of this gene. Our recent work reveals that HDAC1, HDAC5 and Sin3a interact and are recruited to the Ncx1 promoter through the Nkx2.5 transcription factor. Interestingly, we observed greater associated/interaction of the HDAC1-HDAC5/Sin3a repressor complex upon broad HDAC inhibition. Taken together, we hypothesized that HDAC inhibition, stabilizes an HDAC1-HDAC5/Sin3a repressor complex during cardiac hypertrophy. We addressed this hypothesis by treating isolated adult cardiomyocytes with class specific HDAC inhibitors since HDAC1 is a Class I HDAC and HDAC5 is a Class IIa HDAC. Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) revealed a greater association of repressor complex molecules in the presence of Entinostat, a Class I HDAC inhibitor compared to both non-treated control and TSA, a broad HDAC inhibitor (n=3). These works show enhanced recruitment Sin3a (co-repressor) at the proximal promoter of NCX1 as demonstrated by Chromatin-Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) (n=3). To test whether these observations translated into in vivo models, we subjected mice to transaortic constriction (TAC) to induce hypertrophy. In this model, Co-IP revealed results that similar to our in vitro studies with greater immuno- detection of repressor complex component, Sin3a after immune-precipitation with HDAC1. Furthermore, our ChIP data showed a greater PCR product amplification of proximal Ncx1 promoter, from experimental groups that were subjected to Entinostat (n=3). Our cumulative data suggests that Class I HDAC inhibition stabilizes a repressor complex on the Ncx1 promoter that hinders hypertrophy- mediated Ncx1 upregulation. Class specific HDAC inhibition may be useful in the stabilization and repression of aberrantly expressed genes that contribute to poor clinical outcomes in cardiac hypertrophy.

Human Germinal Center Associated Lymphoma (HGAL) is an adaptor protein specifically expressed in germinal center lymphocytes. High expression of HGAL is a predictor of prolonged survival of Diffuse Large B-Cell (DLBCL) and classical Hodgkin lymphomas. Furthermore, HGAL expression is associated with early stage DLBCL, thus potentially limiting lymphoma dissemination. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that HGAL regulates B-cell receptor signaling and cell motility in vitro and deciphered some molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. Herein, by using novel animal models for in vivo DLBCL dispersion, we demonstrate that HGAL decreases lymphoma dissemination and prolongs survival. Further, by using an unbiased proteomic approach we demonstrate that HGAL may interact with multiple cytoskeletal proteins whereby implicating a multiplicity of effects in regulating lymphoma motility and spread. Specifically, we show that HGAL interacts with tubulin and this interaction may also contribute to HGAL effects on cell motility. These findings recapitulate previous observations in humans, establish the role of HGAL in lymphoma in vivo dissemination, and explain improved survival of patients with HGAL expressing lymphomas.

Fertility is dependent on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a product of gonadotrope cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and intra-pituitary activins are regarded as the primary drivers of FSH synthesis and secretion. Both stimulate expression of the FSH beta subunit gene (Fshb), although the underlying mechanisms of GnRH action are poorly described relative to those of the activins. There is currently no consensus on how GnRH regulates Fshb transcription, as results vary across species and between in vivo and in vitro approaches. One of the more fully developed models suggests that the murine Fshb promoter is tonically repressed by histone deacetylases (HDACs) and that GnRH relieves this repression, at least in immortalized murine gonadotrope-like cells (LβT2 and αT3-1). In contrast, we observed that the class I/II HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) robustly inhibited basal, activin A-, and GnRH-induced Fshb mRNA expression in LβT2 cells and in primary murine pituitary cultures. Similar results were obtained with the class I specific HDAC inhibitor, entinostat, whereas two class II-specific inhibitors, MC1568 and TMP269, had no effects on Fshb expression. Collectively, these data suggest that class I HDACs are positive, not negative, regulators of Fshb expression in vitro and that, contrary to earlier reports, GnRH may not stimulate Fshb by inhibiting HDAC-mediated repression of the gene.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer without a targeted form of therapy. Unfortunately, up to 70% of patients with TNBC develop resistance to treatment. A known contributor to chemoresistance is dysfunctional mitochondrial apoptosis signaling. We set up a phenotypic small-molecule screen to reveal vulnerabilities in TNBC cells that were independent of mitochondrial apoptosis. Using a functional genetic approach, we identified that a “hit” compound, BAS-2, had a potentially similar mechanism of action to histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC). An in vitro HDAC inhibitor assay confirmed that the compound selectively inhibited HDAC6. Using state-of-the-art acetylome mass spectrometry, we identified glycolytic substrates of HDAC6 in TNBC cells. We confirmed that inhibition or knockout of HDAC6 reduced glycolytic metabolism both in vitro and in vivo. Through a series of unbiased screening approaches, we have identified a previously unidentified role for HDAC6 in regulating glycolytic metabolism.

Objective.Lens osmotic expansion, provoked by overactivated aldose reductase (AR), is the most essential event of sugar cataract. Chloride channel 3 (Clcn3) is a volume-sensitive channel, mainly participating in the regulation of cell fundamental volume, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) acts as its modulator. We aim to study whether P-gp and Clcn3 are involved in lens osmotic expansion of galactosemic cataract.Methods and Results.In vitro, lens epithelial cells (LECs) were primarily cultured in gradient galactose medium (10–60 mM), more and more vacuoles appeared in LEC cytoplasm, and mRNA and protein levels of AR, P-gp, and Clcn3 were synchronously upregulated along with the increase of galactose concentration. In vivo, we focused on the early stage of rat galactosemic cataract, amount of vacuoles arose from equatorial area and scattered to the whole anterior capsule of lenses from the 3rd day to the 9th day, and mRNA and protein levels of P-gp and Clcn3 reached the peak around the 9th or 12th day.Conclusion. Galactosemia caused the osmotic stress in lenses; it also markedly leads to the upregulations of AR, P-gp, and Clcn3 in LECs, together resulting in obvious osmotic expansion in vitro and in vivo.

Mesangial cells (MCs) grown without supplemental insulin (SI-MCs) express a quiescent phenotype and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition similar to MCs in vivo. In contrast, MCs routinely propagated in insulin (SI+MCs) are stimulated to proliferate, change their phenotype, and produce large amounts of collagens I and III. These effects of insulin may in part be mediated through cytoskeletal rearrangement. Differences in cytoskeletal arrangement were compared between SI-MCs and SI+MCs and 1 hr after addition of insulin (1 nM) or IGF-1 (100 nM) to SI-MCs. Cells were examined by light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunostaining for specific cytoskeletal proteins and fibronectin. Insulin induced rapid rearrangement of stress fibers. Surface ruffling, actin aggregation, vimentin retraction, rearrangement of vinculin in focal adhesions, and fibronectin extraction were apparent. These direct effects of insulin on the SI-MC cytoskeleton occurred before insulin-induced changes in ECM composition. IGF-I induced cytoskeletal reorganization distinct from insulin. These observations demonstrate that insulin and IGF-I have unique effects on the MC cytoskeleton, which is turn may mediate secondary ligand effects on MCs.

ZL277 is a prodrug of belinostat with enhanced bioavailability and efficacy as a pan histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. In this study, we investigated the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of ZL277 in liver S9 fractions, liver microsomes, liver cytosol, and in mice. Metabolic products were identified and quantified by a combination of liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. The in vitro metabolic profile of ZL277 includes ZL277-B(OH)2-452, the major oxidative metabolite ZL277-OH-424, the active ingredient belinostat, belinostat amide, belinostat acid, and methylated belinostat in liver S9 fractions. Both ZL277-OH-424 and belinostat underwent further glucuronidation in liver microsome, whereas only ZL277-OH-424, but not belinostat, underwent some level of sulfation in rat liver cytosols. These metabolites were examined in plasma and in a breast tumor model in vivo. They were also examined in urine and feces from mice treated with ZL277. The pharmacokinetic study of ZL277 showed the parameters of active drug belinostat with a half-life (t1/2) of 10.7 h, an area under curve value (AUC) of 1506.9 ng/mL*h, and a maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 172 ng/mL, reached 3 h after a single dose of 10 mg/kg. The hydrolysis product of the prodrug, ZL277-B(OH)2-452 showed an AUC of 8306 ng/mL*h and Cmax of 931 ng/mL 3 h after drug administration.
