Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Novel Isoform-Selective Inhibitors within Class I Histone Deacetylases

TL;DR: Using purified recombinant HDAC proteins, several novel HDAC inhibitors that preferentially inhibit HDAC1 or HDAC8 are identified and displayed distinct properties in inducing histone acetylation and reporter gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and Characterization of a Novel Human Class I Histone Deacetylase That Functions as a Transcription Repressor

TL;DR: Results indicate that HDAC8 is a novel member of the histone deacetylase family, which may play a role in the development of a broad range of tissues and potentially in the etiology of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Rho Kinase Inhibitors with Anti-inflammatory and Vasodilatory Activities

TL;DR: Two aminofurazan-based ROCK inhibitors are characterized, GSK269962A and SB-772077-B, as members of a novel class of compounds that potently inhibit ROCK enzymatic activity and may enable us to further evaluate the potential beneficial effects of ROCK inhibition in animal models of cardiovascular as well as other chronic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction and superinduction of growth arrest and DNA damage gene 45 (GADD45) α and β messenger RNAs by histone deacetylase inhibitors trichostatin A (TSA) and butyrate in SW620 human colon carcinoma cells

TL;DR: It is shown that in the SW620 human colon cancer cell line, TSA and butyrate induced the growth arrest and DNA damage gene 45alpha (GADD45alpha) and GADD45beta, indicating that both genes were immediate target genes for TSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning and characterization of profilin-3: a novel cytoskeleton-associated gene expressed in rat kidney and testes.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that, contrary to the ubiquitous presence of profilin-1 and profILin-2, there is a tissue-specific form of these cytoskeleton-regulatory proteins and that the kidney/testes-specific profilIn-3 may play a unique role in renal and/or reproductive functions.
