Project description:This study is an open label non randomized study of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Vorinostat in patients with advanced solid tumors to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of this drug combination.
Project description:The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of combining the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor sodium valproate (VPA) with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (panitumumab or cetuximab) maintenance in the first-line treatment of patients with RAS wild type metastatic CRC.
Project description:The model predicts the inhibitory potential of small molecules against Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), a relevant human target for cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes. The authors have used a dataset of 1098 compounds from ChEMBL and validated the model using the benchmark MUBD-HDAC3.
Model Type: Predictive machine learning model.
Model Relevance: Probability that the molecule is a HDAC3 inhibitor

Project description:Organic extracts of the wildtype mold species, Aspergillus nidulans, and a strain of A. nidulans where expression of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) RpdA was knocked-down. Biological triplicate of both strains are included.
Project description:Although the Arabidopsis thaliana RPD3-type histone deacetylases have been known to form SIN3 histone deacetylase complexes that are conserved in eukaryotes, it is unknown whether they also form other types of histone deacetylase complexes. Here, we performed affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry and demonstrated that the Arabidopsis RPD3-type histone deacetylases HDA6 and HDA19 can interact with several previously uncharacterized proteins and form three types of plant-specific histone deacetylase complexes, which we named SANT, ESANT, and ARID. RNA-seq indicated that HDA6 and HDA19 function together with other components of the histone deacetylase complexes and co-regulate the expression of a number of genes. HDA6 and HDA19 have been thought to repress gene transcription by histone deacetylation. We found that the histone deacetylase complexes can also repress gene expression via certain histone-deacetylation-independent mechanisms. In the mutants of the histone deacetylase complexes, the expression of a number of stress-induced genes was up-regulated. Several mutants of the histone deacetylase complexes showed severe retardation in growth. Considering that the growth retardation is thought to be a trade-off for the increase of stress tolerance, we predict that the histone deacetylase complexes identified in this study prevent overexpression of stress-induced genes and thereby ensure normal growth of plants under non-stress conditions.
