Article Abstract

Epigenetic alterations are especially important in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Here, we reported that histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) plays a previously unknown role in modulating arginine metabolism via acetylation of histone 3 lysine 9 (acetyl-H3K9) regulation during the pathogenesis of NEC. We found that HDAC8 was upregulated in humans and mice intestinal samples with NEC, while selective inhibition of HDAC8 expression ameliorated NEC. HDAC8 regulates enzymes involved in the metabolic conversion of proline to arginine (PRODH, PRODH2, OAT, and OTC) and arginine to ornithine (ARG1). The results showed that H3K9ac signal in the PRODH/PRODH2 promoter region was mediated by HDAC8. Additionally, the decreased concentration of butyric acid was strongly correlated with elevated HDAC8 levels and circulating arginine, which may result from an unbalanced Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. These results reveal previously underappreciated roles of microbial metabolites and HDAC8 to coordinate the arginine metabolism during NEC development.

HDAC inhibitors, which have been proven to be effective for some cancers, have potential as treatments for Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Building on the core structure of the highly selective HDAC6 inhibitor J22352, we modified various zinc-binding groups of this inhibitor. The resulting compounds 1-8 were designed and synthesized to explore potential derivatives and assess their effects on NSCLC bioactivity.

Age-related eye diseases (AREDs) are the leading cause of visual impairment in the elderly, affecting the structure of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, significantly reducing the quality of life of patients, and even leading to irreversible blindness. Typical AREDs include age-related cataract (ARC), dry eye disease (DED), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy (DR), the global prevalence of which continues to rise, becoming a serious public health concern. SIRT1 is an NAD + dependent deacetylase, which plays an important physiological regulatory role in ocular tissues, mainly affecting gene expression and various cellular processes by regulating the acetylation status of substrate proteins.

Introduction: Aberrant biomechanical force-induced chondrocyte adipogenesis is involved in the development of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA). Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) has been implicated in this process. However, whether mechanosensitive histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) regulates GDF11 signaling in the context of TMJ OA remains to be elucidated.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a predominant malignancy of the digestive tract globally, with primary treatment strategies including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Recently, histone deacetylases (HDACs) and their inhibitors (HDACi) have emerged as promising therapeutic targets in CRC. As critical epigenetic regulators, HDACs influence gene expression and cellular processes, thereby affecting tumor initiation, progression, and immune evasion.
