Determine the effects of Hdac3 deletion on H3K27ac profiles in murine chondrocytes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylase inhibitors are efficacious epigenetic-based therapies for some cancers and neurological disorders; however, these drugs inhibit multiple Hdacs and have detrimental effects on the pre- and post-natal skeleton. To better understand how Hdac inhibitors affect the skeleton, we focused on understanding the role of one of their targets, Hdac3, in endochondral bone formation by deleting it in immature murine chondrocyte micro masses with Adeno-Cre. Hdac3-deficient chondrocytes expressed higher levels of pro-inflammatory and matrix degrading genes (e.g., Il-6, Mmp3, Mmp13, Saa3) and lower levels of genes related to the extracellular matrix production, bone development and ossification (e.g., Acan, Col2a1, Ihh, Col10a1). Histone acetylation was increased in and around genes with elevated expression. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
