Watson N, Kuppuswamy S, Ledford WL, Sukumari-Ramesh S. The role of HDAC3 in inflammation: mechanisms and therapeutic implications. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1419685. [PMID: 39050859 PMCID: PMC11266039 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1419685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are critical regulators of inflammatory gene expression, and the efficacy of pan-HDAC inhibitors has been implicated in various disease conditions. However, it remains largely unclear how HDACs precisely regulate inflammation. To this end, evaluating the isoform-specific function of HDACs is critical, and the isoform-specific targeting could also circumvent the off-target effects of pan-HDAC inhibitors. This review provides an overview of the roles of HDAC3, a class I HDAC isoform, in modulating inflammatory responses and discusses the molecular mechanisms by which HDAC3 regulates inflammation associated with brain pathology, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, lung pathology, allergic conditions, and kidney disorders. The articles also identify knowledge gaps in the field for future studies. Despite some conflicting reports, the selective inhibition of HDAC3 has been demonstrated to play a beneficial role in various inflammatory pathologies. Exploring the potential of HDAC3 inhibition to improve disease prognosis is a promising avenue requiring further investigation.

Kumar KK, Aburawi EH, Ljubisavljevic M, Leow MKS, Feng X, Ansari SA, Emerald BS. Exploring histone deacetylases in type 2 diabetes mellitus: pathophysiological insights and therapeutic avenues. Clin Epigenetics 2024; 16:78. [PMID: 38862980 PMCID: PMC11167878 DOI: 10.1186/s13148-024-01692-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that impairs metabolism, and its prevalence has reached an epidemic proportion globally. Most people affected are with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is caused by a decline in the numbers or functioning of pancreatic endocrine islet cells, specifically the β-cells that release insulin in sufficient quantity to overcome any insulin resistance of the metabolic tissues. Genetic and epigenetic factors have been implicated as the main contributors to the T2DM. Epigenetic modifiers, histone deacetylases (HDACs), are enzymes that remove acetyl groups from histones and play an important role in a variety of molecular processes, including pancreatic cell destiny, insulin release, insulin production, insulin signalling, and glucose metabolism. HDACs also govern other regulatory processes related to diabetes, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, revealed by network and functional analysis. This review explains the current understanding of the function of HDACs in diabetic pathophysiology, the inhibitory role of various HDAC inhibitors (HDACi), and their functional importance as biomarkers and possible therapeutic targets for T2DM. While their role in T2DM is still emerging, a better understanding of the role of HDACi may be relevant in improving insulin sensitivity, protecting β-cells and reducing T2DM-associated complications, among others.

Abstract
The β-cell relies predominantly on glucose utilization to generate adenosine triphosphate, which is crucial for both cell viability and insulin secretion. The β-cell has evolved remarkable metabolic flexibility to productively respond to shifts in environmental conditions and changes in glucose availability. Although these adaptive responses are important for maintaining optimal cellular function, there is emerging evidence that the resulting changes in cellular metabolites can impact the epigenome, causing transient and lasting alterations in gene expression. This review explores the intricate interplay between metabolism and the epigenome, providing valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms leading to β-cell dysfunction in diabetes. Understanding these mechanisms will be critical for developing targeted therapeutic strategies to preserve and enhance β-cell function, offering potential avenues for interventions to improve glycemic control in individuals with diabetes.

FEBS J 2024; 291:566-583. [PMID: 37985375 DOI: 10.1111/febs.17005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Butyrate, a gut microbial metabolite, has beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and has become an attractive drug candidate for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recently, we showed that butyrate protects pancreatic beta cells against cytokine-induced dysfunction. In this study, we explored the underlying mechanisms of butyrate action. Pancreatic mouse islets were exposed to a non-cytotoxic concentration of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) for 10 days to mimic low-grade inflammation in T2D. Similar to the effect of butyrate, an isoform-selective histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) inhibitor normalized IL-1β-reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and insulin content. In contrast, free fatty acid receptor 2 and 3 (FFAR2/3) agonists failed to normalize IL-1β-induced beta cell dysfunction. Furthermore, butyrate inhibited HDAC activity and increased the acetylation of histone H3 and H4 by 3- and 10-fold, respectively. Genome-wide analysis of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) revealed that butyrate mainly increased H3K27ac at promoter regions (74%), while H3K27ac peaks regulated by IL-1β were more equally distributed at promoters (38%), introns (23%) and intergenic regions (23%). Gene ontology analysis showed that butyrate increased IL-1β-reduced H3K27ac levels near several genes related to hormone secretion and reduced IL-1β-increased H3K27ac levels near genes associated with inflammatory responses. Butyrate alone increased H3K27ac near many genes related to MAPK signaling, hormone secretion, and differentiation, and decreased H3K27ac at genes involved in cell replication. Together, these results suggest that butyrate prevents IL-1β-induced pancreatic islet dysfunction by inhibition of HDACs resulting in changes in H3K27ac levels at genes relevant for beta cell function and inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases enzymes (HDACs) are chromatin modifiers that regulate gene expression through deacetylation of lysine residues within specific histone and non-histone proteins. A cell-specific gene expression pattern defines the identity of insulin-producing pancreatic β cells, yet molecular networks driving this transcriptional specificity are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the HDAC-dependent molecular mechanisms controlling pancreatic β-cell identity and function using the pan-HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A through chromatin immunoprecipitation assays and RNA sequencing experiments. We observed that TSA alters insulin secretion associated with β-cell specific transcriptome programming in both mouse and human β-cell lines, as well as on human pancreatic islets. We also demonstrated that this alternative β-cell transcriptional program in response to HDAC inhibition is related to an epigenome-wide remodeling at both promoters and enhancers. Our data indicate that HDAC activity could be required to protect against loss of β-cell identity with unsuitable expression of genes associated with alternative cell fates.

Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes in children and adolescents has been rising gradually, which is relevant to adverse environment during development, especially prepartum. We aimed to explore the effects of prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) on β-cell function and glucose homeostasis in juvenile offspring rats. Pregnant Wistar rats were subcutaneously administered with dexamethasone [0.1, 0.2, 0.4mg/(kg.d)] from gestational day 9 to 20. PDE impaired glucose tolerance in the male offspring rather than the females. In male offspring, PDE impaired the development and function of β-cells, accompanied with lower H3K9ac, H3K14ac and H3K27ac levels in the promoter region of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as well as suppressed ACE2 expression. Meanwhile, PDE increased expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in fetal pancreas. Dexamethasone also inhibited ACE2 expression and insulin production in vitro. Recombinant expression of ACE2 restored insulin production inhibited by dexamethasone. In addition, dexamethasone activated GR and HDAC3, increased protein interaction of GR with HDAC3, and promoted the binding of GR-HDAC3 complex to ACE2 promoter region. Both RU486 and TSA abolished dexamethasone-induced decline of histone acetylation and ACE2 expression. In summary, suppression of ACE2 is involved in PDE induced β-cell dysfunction and glucose intolerance in juvenile male offspring rats.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is marked by progressive β-cell failure, leading to loss of β-cell mass. Increased levels of circulating glucose and free fatty acids associated with obesity lead to β-cell glucolipotoxicity. There are currently no therapeutic options to address this facet of β-cell loss in obese type 2 diabetes patients. To identify small molecules capable of protecting β-cells, we performed a high-throughput screen of 20,876 compounds in the rat insulinoma cell line INS-1E in the presence of elevated glucose and palmitate. We found 312 glucolipotoxicity-protective small molecules (1.49% hit rate) capable of restoring INS-1E viability, and we focused on 17 with known biological targets. 16 of the 17 compounds were kinase inhibitors with activity against specific families including but not limited to cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), PI-3 kinase (PI3K), Janus kinase (JAK), and Rho-associated kinase 2 (ROCK2). 7 of the 16 kinase inhibitors were PI3K inhibitors. Validation studies in dissociated human islets identified 10 of the 17 compounds, namely, KD025, ETP-45658, BMS-536924, AT-9283, PF-03814735, torin-2, AZD5438, CP-640186, ETP-46464, and GSK2126458 that reduced glucolipotoxicity-induced β-cell death. These 10 compounds decreased markers of glucolipotoxicity including caspase activation, mitochondrial depolarization, and increased calcium flux. Together, these results provide a path forward toward identifying novel treatments to preserve β-cell viability in the face of glucolipotoxicity.

Abstract
The pancreatic beta cell is the only cell type in the body responsible for insulin secretion, and thus plays a unique role in the control of glucose homeostasis. The loss of beta-cell mass and function plays an important role in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Thus, using chemical biology to identify small molecules targeting the beta cell could be an important component to developing future therapeutics for diabetes. This strategy provides an attractive path toward increasing beta-cell numbers in vivo. A regenerative strategy involves enhancing proliferation, differentiation, or neogenesis. On the other hand, protecting beta cells from cell death, or improving maturity and function, could preserve beta-cell mass. Here, we discuss the current state of chemical matter available to study beta-cell regeneration, and how they were discovered.

Abstract
Non-communicable diseases are increasing and have an underlying low-grade inflammation in common, which may affect gut health. To maintain intestinal homeostasis, unwanted epithelial activation needs to be avoided. This study compared the efficacy of butyrate, propionate and acetate to suppress IFN-γ+/−TNF-α induced intestinal epithelial activation in association with their HDAC inhibitory capacity, while studying the canonical and non-canonical STAT1 pathway. HT-29 were activated with IFN-γ+/−TNF-α and treated with short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. CXCL10 release and protein and mRNA expression of proteins involved in the STAT1 pathway were determined. All SCFAs dose-dependently inhibited CXCL10 release of the cells after activation with IFN-γ or IFN-γ+TNF-α. Butyrate was the most effective, completely preventing CXCL10 induction. Butyrate did not affect phosphorylated STAT1, nor phosphorylated NFκB p65, but inhibited IRF9 and phosphorylated JAK2 protein expression in activated cells. Additionally, butyrate inhibited CXCL10, SOCS1, JAK2 and IRF9 mRNA in activated cells. The effect of butyrate was mimicked by class I HDAC inhibitors and a general HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin A. Butyrate is the most potent inhibitor of CXCL10 release compared to other SCFAs and acts via HDAC inhibition. This causes downregulation of CXCL10, JAK2 and IRF9 genes, resulting in a decreased IRF9 protein expression which inhibits the non-canonical pathway and CXCL10 transcription.

Abstract
AIMS Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication during pregnancy affecting the mother and fetus. With the problems encountered with the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), we aim to identify potential early biomarkers of GDM. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 80 pregnant women. Blood samples were collected every trimester, and total RNA was isolated. After quality control and library preparation, next-generation sequencing was performed. Differential expression analysis was done. Enriched Gene Ontology: Biological Processes (GO: BP) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were identified. Gene co-expression networks were constructed. Protein-protein Interaction (PPI) networks were then built from modules significantly correlated with Hemoglobin A1c. Genes with the highest degree of interaction were identified as hub genes. RESULTS IGKV2D-28 and PTPRG were consistently differentially expressed among the three comparisons. Top enriched GO: BP terms and KEGG pathways are linked to immune responses. Orange (r = 0.59, p = 0.02) and purple modules (r = 0.41, p = 0.02) of the GDM cohorts in the first and second trimesters, respectively, significantly correlated with Hemoglobin A1c. HDAC8 of the orange module and MPO and CRISP3 of the purple module were identified as hub genes. CONCLUSIONS In this study, potential biomarkers of GDM were identified, namely, IGKV2D-28, PTPRG, HDAC8, MPO, and CRISP3.

Abstract
The acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins has been implicated in several disease states. Modulation of such epigenetic modifications has therefore made histone deacetylases (HDACs) important drug targets. HDAC3, among various class I HDACs, has been signified as a potentially validated target in multiple diseases, namely, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disorders, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, parasitic infections, and HIV. However, only a handful of HDAC3-selective inhibitors have been reported in spite of continuous efforts in design and development of HDAC3-selective inhibitors. In this Perspective, the roles of HDAC3 in various diseases as well as numerous potent and HDAC3-selective inhibitors have been discussed in detail. It will surely open up a new vista in the discovery of newer, more effective, and more selective HDAC3 inhibitors.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the principal manifestations of metabolic syndrome and its prevalence with modern lifestyle is increasing incessantly. Chronic hyperglycemia can induce several vascular complications that were referred to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality in DM. Although several therapeutic targets have been identified and accessed clinically, the imminent risk of DM and its prevalence are still ascending. Substantial pieces of evidence revealed that histone deacetylase (HDAC) isoforms can regulate various molecular activities in DM via epigenetic and post-translational regulation of several transcription factors. To date, 18 HDAC isoforms have been identified in mammals that were categorized into four different classes. Classes I, II, and IV are regarded as classical HDACs, which operate through a Zn-based mechanism. In contrast, class III HDACs or Sirtuins depend on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) for their molecular activity. Functionally, most of the HDAC isoforms can regulate β cell fate, insulin release, insulin expression and signaling, and glucose metabolism. Moreover, the roles of HDAC members have been implicated in the regulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis, and other pathological events, which substantially contribute to diabetes-related vascular dysfunctions. Therefore, HDACs could serve as the potential therapeutic target in DM towards developing novel intervention strategies. This review sheds light on the emerging role of HDACs/isoforms in diabetic pathophysiology and emphasized the scope of their targeting in DM for constituting novel interventional strategies for metabolic disorders/complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are predicted to represent the internal state of cells. In polarized RPE monolayers, EVs can mediate long-distance communication, requiring endocytosis via protein-protein interactions. EV uptake from oxidatively stressed donor cells triggers loss in transepithelial resistance (TER) in recipient monolayers mediated by HDAC6. Here, we examine EVs released from RPE cells with identical nuclear genes but different mitochondrial (mt)DNA haplogroups (H, J). J-cybrids produce less ATP, and the J-haplogroup is associated with a higher risk for age-related macular degeneration. METHODS Cells were grown as mature monolayers to either collect EVs from apical surfaces or to serve as naïve recipient cells. Transfer assays, transferring EVs to a recipient monolayer were performed, monitoring TER and EV-uptake. The presence of known EV surface proteins was quantified by protein chemistry. RESULTS H- and J-cybrids were confirmed to exhibit different levels of TER and energy metabolism. EVs from J-cybrids reduced TER in recipient ARPE-19 cells, whereas EVs from H-cybrids were ineffective. TER reduction was mediated by HDAC6 activity, and EV uptake required interaction between integrin and its ligands and surface proteoglycans. Protein quantifications confirmed elevated levels of fibronectin and annexin A2 on J-cybrid EVs. CONCLUSIONS We speculate that RPE EVs have a finite set of ligands (membrane proteoglycans and integrins and/or annexin A2) that are elevated in EVs from stressed cells; and that if EVs released by the RPE could be captured from serum, that they might provide a disease biomarker of RPE-dependent diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction leading to cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. Here, we show that inhibition of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) reduced inflammation and oxidative stress by regulating nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which mediates the expression of anti-inflammatory- and pro-survival-related genes in the vascular endothelium, thereby improving endothelial function. METHODS Nrf2 knockout (Nrf2 KO) C57BL/6 background mice, diabetic db/db mice, and control db/m mice were used to investigate the relationship between HDAC3 and Nrf2 in the endothelium in vivo. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured under high glucose-palmitic acid (HG-PA) conditions were used to explore the role of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) -Nrf2-NAPDH oxidase 4 (Nox4) redox signaling in the vascular endothelium in vitro. Activity assays, immunofluorescence, western blotting, qRT-PCR, and immunoprecipitation assays were used to examine the effect of HDAC3 inhibition on inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and endothelial impairment, as well as the activity of Nrf2-related molecules. RESULTS HDAC3 activity, but not its expression, was increased in db/db mice. This resulted in de-endothelialization and increased oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory marker expression in cells treated with the HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966, which activated Nrf2 signaling. HDAC3 silencing decreased ROS production, inflammation, and damage-associated tube formation in HG-PA-treated HUVECs. The underlying mechanism involved the Keap1-Nrf2-Nox4 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest the potential of HDAC3 as a therapeutic target for the treatment of endothelial dysfunction in T2DM. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Butyrate, a main product of gut microbial fermentation, has been recognized as an important mediator of gut microbiota regulation in whole body energy homeostasis. However, the mechanisms of butyrate metabolic control remain unclear. This review summarizes studies that directly examined the effects of butyrate on metabolic health. The effects of butyrate on metabolic functions, including thermogenesis, lipid and glucose metabolism, appetite, inflammation, and influence on gut microbiota, are described. The effects of butyrate on cellular systems via G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs), as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, and as a substrate that is metabolized intercellularly, are also discussed. Hopefully, a better understanding of butyrate metabolic regulation may provide new perspectives for the nutritional prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta-cells. Multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in T1DM pathogenesis. Although histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) has been reported to be involved in T1DM, the underlying mechanisms remain to be further elucidated. This study was designed to investigate the potential regulatory role of Hdac3 on T1DM progression. The expression of miR-296-5p and B-cell leukemia-XL (BCL-XL) was determined using RT-qPCR and Western blot assay in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with T1DM, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)- and cycloheximide (CHX)-induced cell model, and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rat model. The binding affinity between miR-296-5p and Bcl-xl was verified by using dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, and the binding between Hdac3 and the promoter region of miR-296-5p was validated using chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Western blot analysis and flow cytometry were conducted to assess the apoptotic events of lymphocytes. miR-296-5p expression was downregulated while BCL-XL expression was upregulated in PBMCs of patients with T1DM. An adverse correlation was identified between miR-296-5p and Bcl-xl in mouse TE15 B lymphocytes. Bcl-xl was further validated to be targeted and negatively regulated by miR-296-5p in 293 T cells. Hdac3 inhibited miR-296-5p expression by binding to its promoter region. The effects of overexpressed Hdac3 on lymphocyte apoptosis was counterweighed via downregulation of Bcl-xl or upregulation of miR-296-5p, the mechanism of which was further validated in a rat model of DM. Taken together, the Hdac3-mediated upregulation of Bcl-xl via inhibiting miR-296-5p promoter activity enhanced the anti-apoptotic capacity of lymphocytes to accelerate the occurrence of T1DM.

Genetic and epigenetic factors contribute equally to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Sodium butyrate (NaB) has been reported to improve glucose homeostasis by modulation of the p38/ERK MAPK pathway. This work aims to evaluate the effect of NaB on the ultrastructure of pancreatic β-cells and the PI3/AKT pathway. Juvenile albino male rats were used to establish a type 1 diabetes model using streptozotocin injection and NaB in a pre- and post-treatment schedule. Plasma glucose, insulin levels, and glucose tolerance were evaluated. Light and electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry were performed using Ki-67, caspase-3, and insulin. NaB treatment resulted in a significant improvement in plasma glucose levels, plasma insulin levels/expression, and ameliorated diabetes-induced histological alternations. Additionally, it increased the expression of phosphorylated AKT. These findings provide evidence that NaB may be useful in the treatment of juvenile diabetes.

Abstract
Cell-type-specific gene expression is physiologically modulated by the binding of transcription factors to genomic enhancer sequences, to which chromatin modifiers such as histone deacetylases (HDACs) are recruited. Drugs that inhibit HDACs are in clinical use but lack specificity. HDAC3 is a stoichiometric component of nuclear receptor co-repressor complexes whose enzymatic activity depends on this interaction. HDAC3 is required for many aspects of mammalian development and physiology, for example, for controlling metabolism and circadian rhythms. In this Review, we discuss the mechanisms by which HDAC3 regulates cell type-specific enhancers, the structure of HDAC3 and its function as part of nuclear receptor co-repressors, its enzymatic activity and its post-translational modifications. We then discuss the plethora of tissue-specific physiological functions of HDAC3.

Abstract
Inflammation has a central role in the etiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications. Both genetic and epigenetic factors have been implicated in the development of T2D-associated inflammation. Epigenetic mechanisms regulate the function of several components of the immune system. Diabetic conditions trigger aberrant epigenetic alterations that contribute to the progression of insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction by induction of inflammatory responses. Thus, targeting epigenetic factors and modifications, as one of the underlying causes of inflammation, could lead to the development of novel immune-based strategies for the treatment of T2D. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the propagation and perpetuation of chronic inflammation in T2D. We also discuss the possible anti-inflammatory approaches that target epigenetic factors for the treatment of T2D.

Abstract
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are characterized by chronic inflammation; both diseases involve pancreatic islet inflammation, while systemic low-grade inflammation is a feature of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Long-term activation of the innate immune system impairs insulin secretion and action, and inflammation also contributes to macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes. However, despite strong preclinical evidence and proof-of-principle clinical trials demonstrating that targeting inflammatory pathways can prevent cardiovascular disease and other complications in patients with diabetes, there are still no approved treatments for diabetes that target innate immune mediators. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of the inflammatory pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes from a translational angle and point out the critical gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed to guide drug development.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic dysfunction characterized by progressive insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia. Increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability is a critical neurovascular complication of T2DM that adversely affects the central nervous system homeostasis and function. Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) has been reported to be elevated in T2DM animals and may promote neuroinflammation; however, its involvement in the BBB permeability of T2DM has not been investigated. In this study, we tested our hypothesis that HDAC3 expression and activity are increased in the T2DM mouse brain. Inhibition of HDAC3 may ameliorate T2DM-induced BBB permeability through Nrf2 activation. Methods T2DM (db/db, leptin receptor-deficient), genetic non-hyperglycemic control (db/+), and wild-type male mice at the age of 16 weeks were used in this study. HDAC3 expression and activity, Nrf2 activation, and BBB permeability and junction protein expression were examined. The effects of HDAC3 activity on BBB permeability were tested using highly selective HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966. In primary cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), hyperglycemia (25 mM glucose) plus interleukin 1 beta (20 ng/ml) (HG-IL1β) served as T2DM insult in vitro. The effects of HDAC3 on transendothelial permeability were investigated by FITC-Dextran leakage and trans-endothelial electrical resistance, and the underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated using Western blot, q-PCR, co-immunoprecipitation, and immunocytochemistry for junction protein expression, miR-200a/Keap1/Nrf2 pathway regulation. Results HDAC3 expression and activity were significantly increased in the hippocampus and cortex of db/db mice. Specific HDAC3 inhibition significantly ameliorated BBB permeability and junction protein downregulation in db/db mice. In cultured HBMEC, HG-IL1β insult significantly increased transendothelial permeability and reduced junction protein expression. HDAC3 inhibition significantly attenuated the transendothelial permeability and junction protein downregulation. Moreover, we demonstrated the underlying mechanism was at least in part attributed by HDAC3 inhibition-mediated miR-200a/Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway and downstream targeting junction protein expression in T2DM db/db mice. Conclusions Our experimental results show that HDAC3 might be a new therapeutic target for BBB damage in T2DM.

Abstract
The clinical onset of type 1 diabetes is characterized by the destruction of the insulin-producing β cells of the pancreas and is caused by autoantigen-induced inflammation (insulitis) of the islets of Langerhans. The current standard of care for type 1 diabetes mellitus patients allows for management of the disease with exogenous insulin, but patients eventually succumb to many chronic complications such as limb amputation, blindness, and kidney failure. New therapeutic approaches now on the horizon are looking beyond glycemic management and are evaluating new strategies from protecting and regenerating endogenous islets to treating the underlying autoimmunity through selective modulation of key immune cell populations. Currently, there are no effective treatments for the autoimmunity that causes the disease, and strategies that aim to delay or prevent the onset of the disease will play an important role in the future of diabetes research. In this review, we summarize many of the key efforts underway that utilize molecular approaches to selectively modulate this disease and look at new therapeutic paradigms that can transform clinical treatment.

Histone deacetylase inhibitor CI-994 inhibits osteoclastogenesis via suppressing NF-κB and the downstream c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathways. Eur J Pharmacol 2019; 848:96-104.

Abstract
[4-(acetylamino)-N-(2-amino-phenyl) benzamide] (CI-994) is a histone deacetylase 1-3 specific inhibitor that has been shown to indirectly increase the production of Dickkopf-1, which is an inhibitor of osteoclastic development. However, whether CI-994 has an influence on receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis is still unclear; in our study, this mechanism was investigated. In an in vitro study, using a tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stain, an F-actin ring, bone absorption test, quantitative PCR and Western blotting, the role of CI-994 in osteoclastogenesis and the expression of related genes and proteins were investigated. In an in vivo study, the effect of CI-994 on osteolysis was evaluated using a titanium particle-induced murine calvarial osteolysis model. Our results indicated that CI-994 inhibited osteoclast differentiation and the function of bone resorption without cytotoxic effects. Moreover, CI-994 inhibited the expression of osteoclast-related genes, including ACP5, CTSK, NFATc1, c-Fos, DC-STAMP and V-ATPase-d2. Furthermore, CI-994 suppressed the phosphorylation of IκBα and p65 and the expression of downstream c-Fos and NFATc1. Consistent with the in vitro results described above, our in vivo experiment indicated that CI-994 inhibited Ti-induced osteolysis. In conclusion, CI-994 inhibited osteoclastogenesis by suppressing NF-κB and the downstream c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathway. Thus, this study showed the possibility of using CI-994 for the treatment of exorbitant osteoclastic bone resorption.

Abstract
Inhibiting Class IIa Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) function is a promising approach to therapeutically enhance skeletal and cardiac muscle metabolic health in several chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes. However, the importance of Class IIa HDACs in the beta-cell remains unknown. As beta-cell function is vital to maintaining glycaemia it is essential that the importance of Class IIa HDACs in the beta-cell is determined. Here we used the INS-1E cell line cultured in normal glucose (11.1 mM) or hyperglycaemic (20 mM) conditions for 48 hrs to represent cells in a normal and diabetic environment respectively. Cells cultured in high glucose showed significantly reduced insulin secretory function and increased apoptotic signalling compared to cells cultured in normal glucose. Class IIa HDACS, HDAC-4 and -5, were not regulated at the transcript or protein level under normal or hyperglycaemic conditions suggesting that they may not play a role in beta-cell dysfunction. Furthermore, overexpression of wild-type HDAC-4 and -5 or dominant negative HDAC-4 and -5 did not alter insulin secretion, insulin mRNA expression or apoptotic signalling under normal or hyperglycaemic conditions. This suggests that Class IIa Histone Deacetylases do not play an important physiological role in the beta-cell under normal or diabetic conditions. Thus, Class IIa Histone Deacetylase inhibitors are not likely to have a detrimental effect on beta-cells supporting the use of these inhibitors to treat metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The homeobox transcription factor Nkx6.1 is sufficient to increase functional β-cell mass, where functional β-cell mass refers to the combination of β-cell proliferation, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and β-cell survival. Here, we demonstrate that the histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), which is an early target of Nkx6.1, is sufficient to increase functional β-cell mass. We show that HDAC activity is necessary for Nkx6.1-mediated proliferation, and that HDAC1 is sufficient to increase β-cell proliferation in primary rat islets and the INS-1 832/13 β-cell line. The increase in HDAC1-mediated proliferation occurs while maintaining GSIS and increasing β-cell survival in response to apoptotic stimuli. We demonstrate that HDAC1 overexpression results in decreased expression of the cell cycle inhibitor Cdkn1b/p27 which is essential for inhibiting the G1 to S phase transition of the cell cycle. This corresponds with increased expression of key cell cycle activators, such as Cyclin A2, Cyclin B1 and E2F1, which are activated by activation of the Cdk4/Cdk6/Cyclin D holoenzymes due to down-regulation of Cdkn1b/p27. Finally, we demonstrate that overexpression of Cdkn1b/p27 inhibits HDAC1-mediated β-cell proliferation. Our data suggest that HDAC1 is critical for the Nkx6.1-mediated pathway that enhances functional β-cell mass.

Abstract
AIMS It has in recent years been established that epigenetic changes contribute to β-cell dysfunction and type 2 diabetes (T2D). For example, we have showed that the expression of histone deacetylase 7 (HDAC7) is increased in pancreatic islets of individuals with T2D and that increased levels of Hdac7 in β-cells impairs insulin secretion. The HDAC inhibitor MC1568 rescued this secretory impairment, suggesting that inhibitors specific for HDAC7 may be useful clinically in the treatment of T2D. The aim of the current study was to further explore HDAC7 as a novel therapeutic target in T2D. METHODS Hdac7 was overexpressed in clonal β-cells followed by the analysis of insulin secretion, mitochondrial function, as well as cell number and apoptosis in the presence or absence of MC1568. Furthermore, the effect of MC1568 on insulin secretion in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic donors and donors with T2D was also studied. RESULTS Overexpression of Hdac7 in clonal β-cells significantly reduced insulin secretion, mitochondrial respiration, and ATP content, while it increased apoptosis. These impairments were all rescued by treatment with MC1568. The inhibitor also increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in islets from donors with T2D, while having no effect on islets from non-diabetic donors. CONCLUSIONS HDAC7 inhibition protects β-cells from mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, and increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in islets from human T2D donors. Our study supports specific HDAC7 inhibitors as novel options in the treatment of T2D.

Abstract
Inflammatory β-cell failure contributes to type 1 and type 2 diabetes pathogenesis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines cause β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis, and lysine deacetylase inhibitors (KDACi) prevent β-cell failure in vitro and in vivo, in part by reducing NF-κB transcriptional activity. We investigated the hypothesis that the protective effect of KDACi involves transcriptional regulation of microRNAs (miRs), potential new targets in diabetes treatment. Insulin-producing INS1 cells were cultured with or without the broad-spectrum KDACi Givinostat, prior to exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IFN-γ for 6 h or 24 h, and miR expression was profiled with miR array. Thirteen miRs (miR-7a-2-3p, miR-29c-3p, miR-96-5p, miR-101a-3p, miR-140-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-146b-5p, miR-340-5p, miR-384-5p, miR-455-5p, miR-466b-2-3p, miR-652-5p, and miR-3584-5p) were regulated by both cytokines and Givinostat, and nine were examined by qRT-PCR. miR-146a-5p was strongly regulated by cytokines and KDACi and was analyzed further. miR-146a-5p expression was induced by cytokines in rat and human islets. Cytokine-induced miR-146a-5p expression was specific for INS1 and β-TC3 cells, whereas α-TC1 cells exhibited a higher basal expression. Transfection of INS1 cells with miR-146a-5p reduced cytokine signaling, including the activity of NF-κB and iNOS promoters, as well as NO production and protein levels of iNOS and its own direct targets TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1). miR-146a-5p was elevated in the pancreas of diabetes-prone BB-DP rats at diabetes onset, suggesting that miR-146a-5p could play a role in type 1 diabetes development. The miR array of cytokine-exposed INS1 cells rescued by KDACi revealed several other miRs potentially involved in cytokine-induced β-cell apoptosis, demonstrating the strength of this approach.

Abstract
The intra-islet endothelial cells (ECs), the building blocks of islet microvasculature, govern a number of cellular and pathophysiological processes associated with the pancreatic tissue. These cells are key to the angiogenic process and essential for islet revascularization after transplantation. Understanding fundamental mechanisms by which ECs regulate the angiogenic process is important as these cells maintain and regulate the intra-islet environment facilitated by a complex signaling crosstalk with the surrounding endocrine cells. In recent years, many studies have demonstrated the impact of epigenetic regulation on islet cell development and function. This review will present an overview of the reports involving endothelial epigenetic mechanisms particularly focusing on histone modifications which have been identified to play a critical role in governing EC functions by modifying the chromatin structure. A better understanding of epigenetic mechanisms by which these cells regulate gene expression and function to orchestrate cellular physiology and pathology is likely to offer improved insights on the functioning and regulation of an intra-islet endothelial microvascular environment.

Abstract
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alterations in age-related macular degeneration occur in patches, potentially involving long-distance communication between damaged and healthy areas. Communication along the epithelium might be mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). To test this hypothesis, EVs were collected from supernatants of polarized ARPE-19 and primary porcine RPE monolayers for functional and biochemical assays. EVs from oxidatively stressed donor cells reduced barrier function in recipient RPE monolayers when compared to control EVs. The effect on barrier function was dependent on EV uptake, which occurred rapidly with EVs from oxidatively stressed donor cells. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of EVs identified HDAC6, which is known to reduce tight junction stability. Activity assays confirmed the presence of HDAC6 in EVs, and EV transfer assays using HDAC6 inhibitors confirmed its effect in monolayers. These findings demonstrate that EVs can communicate stress messages to healthy RPE cells, potentially contributing to RPE dysfunction.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a potential target for the treatment of human diseases such as cancers, diabetes, chronic inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. Previously, we proposed a virtual screening (VS) pipeline named “Hypo1_FRED_SAHA-3” for the discovery of HDAC3 inhibitors (HDAC3Is) and had thoroughly validated it by theoretical calculations. In this study, we attempted to explore its practical utility in a large-scale VS campaign. To this end, we used the VS pipeline to hierarchically screen the Specs chemical library. In order to facilitate compound cherry-picking, we then developed a knowledge-based pose filter (PF) by using our in-house quantitative structure activity relationship- (QSAR-) modelling approach and coupled it with FRED and Autodock Vina. Afterward, we purchased and tested 11 diverse compounds for their HDAC3 inhibitory activity in vitro. The bioassay has identified compound 2 (Specs ID: AN-979/41971160) as a HDAC3I (IC50 = 6.1 μM), which proved the efficacy of our workflow. As a medicinal chemistry study, we performed a follow-up substructure search and identified two more hit compounds of the same chemical type, i.e. 2–1 (AQ-390/42122119, IC50 = 1.3 μM) and 2–2 (AN-329/43450111, IC50 = 12.5 μM). Based on the chemical structures and activities, we have demonstrated the essential role of the capping group in maintaining the activity for this class of HDAC3Is. In addition, we tested the hit compounds for their in vitro activities on other HDACs, including HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC8, HDAC4 and HDAC6. We have identified these compounds are HDAC1/2/3 selective inhibitors, of which compound 2 show the best selectivity profile. Taken together, the present study is an experimental validation and an update to our earlier VS strategy. The identified hits could be used as starting structures for the development of highly potent and selective HDAC3Is.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that regulate gene expression by modifying chromatin structure through removal of acetyl groups from target histones or non-histone proteins. Previous in vitro studies suggest that HDACs may be novel pharmacological targets in immune-mediated islet β-cell destruction. However, the role of specific HDAC in islet β-cell development and function remain unclear. Here, we generated a conditional islet β-cells specific HDAC3 deletion mouse model to determine the consequences of HDAC3 depletion on islet β-cell differentiation, maintenance and function. Islet morphology, insulin secretion, glucose tolerance, and multiple low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes incidence were evaluated and compared between HDAC3 knockout and wild type littermate controls. Mice with β-cell-specific HDAC3 deletion displayed decreased pancreatic insulin content, disrupted glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, with intermittent spontaneous diabetes and dramatically enhanced susceptibility to STZ-induced diabetes. Furthermore, islet β-cell line, MIN6 cells with siRNA-mediated HDAC3 silence, showed decreased insulin gene transcription, which was mediated, at least partially, through the upregulation of suppressors of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3). These results indicate the critical role of HDAC3 in normal β-cell differentiation, maintenance and function.

Oral histone deacetylase inhibitor synergises with T cell targeted immunotherapy to preserve beta cell metabolic function and induce stable remission of new-onset autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. Diabetologia 2018; 61:389-398.

Abstract
AIM/HYPOTHESIS Combination therapy targeting the major actors involved in the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells appears to be an indispensable approach to treat type 1 diabetes effectively. We hypothesised that the combination of an orally active pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi: givinostat) with subtherapeutic doses of CD3 antibodies may provide ideal synergy to treat ongoing autoimmunity. METHODS NOD mice transgenic for the human CD3ε (also known as CD3E) chain (NOD-huCD3ε) were treated for recent-onset diabetes with oral givinostat, subtherapeutic doses of humanised CD3 antibodies (otelixizumab, 50 μg/day, 5 days, i.v.) or a combination of both drugs. Disease remission, metabolic profiles and autoreactive T cell responses were analysed in treated mice. RESULTS We demonstrated that givinostat synergised with otelixizumab to induce durable remission of diabetes in 80% of recently diabetic NOD-huCD3ε mice. Remission was obtained in only 47% of mice treated with otelixizumab alone. Oral givinostat monotherapy did not reverse established diabetes but reduced the in situ production of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α). Importantly, the otelixizumab + givinostat combination strongly improved the metabolic status of NOD-huCD3ε mice; the mice recovered the capacity to appropriately produce insulin, control hyperglycaemia and sustain glucose tolerance. Finally, diabetes remission induced by the combination therapy was associated with a significant reduction of insulitis and autoantigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION HDACi and low-dose CD3 antibodies synergised to abrogate in situ inflammation and thereby improved pancreatic beta cell survival and metabolic function leading to long-lasting diabetes remission. These results support the therapeutic potential of protocols combining these two drugs, both in clinical development, to restore self-tolerance and insulin independence in type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
The novel genome-wide assays of epigenetic marks have resulted in a greater understanding of how genetics and the environment interact in the development and inheritance of diabetes. Chronic hyperglycemia induces epigenetic changes in multiple organs, contributing to diabetic complications. Specific epigenetic-modifying compounds have been developed to erase these modifications, possibly slowing down the onset of diabetes-related complications. The current review is an update of the previously published paper, describing the most recent advances in the epigenetics of diabetes.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is an emerging global health epidemic. Foundations for new therapies are arising from understanding interactions between body systems. Bone-derived factors that reduce RANKL (receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand) signaling in the liver may prevent insulin resistance and the onset of type 2 diabetes. Here we demonstrate that deletion of the epigenetic regulator, Hdac3, in Osx1-expressing osteoprogenitors prevents insulin resistance induced by high fat diet by increasing serum and skeletal gene expression levels of osteoprotegerin (Opg), a natural inhibitor of RANKL signaling. Removal of one Opg allele in mice lacking Hdac3 in Osx1+ osteoprogenitors increases the insulin resistance of the Hdac3-deficient mice on a high fat diet. Thus, Hdac3-depletion in osteoblasts increases expression of Opg, subsequently preserving insulin sensitivity. The Hdac inhibitor vorinostat also increased Opg transcription and histone acetylation of the Opg locus. These results define a new mechanism by which bone regulates systemic insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Preservation of insulin-secreting β-cells is an important goal for therapies aimed at restoring normoglycemia in patients with diabetes. One approach, the inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs), has been reported to suppress pancreatic islet inflammation and β-cell apoptosis in vitro In this report, we demonstrate the efficacy of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) in vivo We show that daily administration of BRD3308, an isoform-selective HDAC3 inhibitor, for 2 weeks to female nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, beginning at 3 weeks of age, followed by twice-weekly injections until age 25 weeks, protects the animals from diabetes. The preservation of β-cells was because of a significant decrease in islet infiltration of mononuclear cells. Moreover, the BRD3308 treatment increased basal insulin secretion from islets cultured in vitro All metabolic tissues tested in vehicle- or BRD3308-treated groups showed virtually no sign of immune cell infiltration, except minimal infiltration in white adipose tissue in animals treated with the highest BRD3308 dose (10 mg/kg), providing additional evidence of protection from immune attack in the treated groups. Furthermore, pancreata from animals treated with 10 mg/kg BRD3308 exhibited significantly decreased numbers of apoptotic β-cells compared with those treated with vehicle or low-dose BRD3308. Finally, animals treated with 1 or 10 mg/kg BRD3308 had enhanced β-cell proliferation. These in vivo results point to the potential use of selective HDAC3 inhibitors as a therapeutic approach to suppress pancreatic islet infiltration and prevent β-cell death with the long-term goal of limiting the progression of type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
In addition to degrading misfolded and damaged proteins, the proteasome regulates the fate of cells in response to stress. The role of the proteasome in pro-inflammatory cytokine-induced human beta-cell apoptosis is unknown. Using INS-1, INS-1E and human islets exposed to combinations of IFNγ, IL-1β and TNFα with or without addition of small molecules, we assessed the role of the immunoproteasome in pancreatic beta-cell demise. Here, we show that cytokines induce the expression and activity of the immuno-proteasome in INS-1E cells and human islets. Cytokine-induced expression of immuno-proteasome subunits, but not activity, depended upon histone deacetylase 3 activation. Inhibition of JAK1/STAT1 signaling did not affect proteasomal activity. Inhibition of the immuno-proteasome subunit PSMB8 aggravated cytokine-induced human beta-cell apoptosis while reducing intracellular levels of oxidized proteins in INS-1 cells. While cytokines increased total cellular NFκB subunit P50 and P52 levels and reduced the cytosolic NFκB subunit P65 and IκB levels, these effects were unaffected by PSMB8 inhibition. We conclude that beta cells upregulate immuno-proteasome expression and activity in response to IFNγ, likely as a protective response to confine inflammatory signaling.

Abstract
Background Epigenetics, in the broadest sense, governs all aspects of the life of any multicellular organism, as it controls how differentiated cells arrive at their unique phenotype during development and differentiation, despite having a uniform (with some exceptions such as T-cells and germ cells) genetic make-up. The endocrine pancreas is no exception. Transcriptional regulators and epigenetic modifiers shape the differentiation of the five major endocrine cell types from their common precursor in the fetal pancreatic bud. Beyond their role in cell differentiation, interactions of the organism with the environment are also often encoded into permanent or semi-permanent epigenetic marks and affect cellular behavior and organismal health. Epigenetics is defined as any heritable – at least through one mitotic cell division – change in phenotype or trait that is not the result of a change in genomic DNA sequence, and it forms the basis that mediates the environmental impact on diabetes susceptibility and islet function. Scope of review We will summarize the impact of epigenetic regulation on islet cell development, maturation, function, and pathophysiology. We will briefly recapitulate the major epigenetic marks and their relationship to gene activity, and outline novel strategies to employ targeted epigenetic modifications as a tool to improve islet cell function. Major conclusions The improved understanding of the epigenetic underpinnings of islet cell differentiation, function and breakdown, as well as the development of innovative tools for their manipulation, is key to islet cell biology and the discovery of novel approaches to therapies for islet cell failure.

PBA reduces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and is proven as a potent histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitor. Chronic ER stress results in unfolding protein response, which triggers apoptosis. Abnormal ER homoeostasis is responsible for defective processing of several genes/proteins and contributes to β-cell death/failure. Accumulated evidences indicated that HDACs modulate key biochemical pathways and HDAC inhibitors improve β-cell function and insulin resistance by modulating multiple targets. This review highlights the role of PBA on β-cell functions, insulin resistance for possible treatment of diabetes through inhibition of ER stress and HDACs.

Abstract
Diverse cellular functions, including tumor suppressor gene expression, DNA repair, cell proliferation and apoptosis, are regulated by histone acetylation and deacetylation. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes involved in remodeling of chromatin by deacetylating the lysine residues. They play a pivotal role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Dysregulation of HDACs and aberrant chromatin acetylation and deacetylation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancer. Histone deacetylases have become a target for the development of drugs for treating cancer because of their major contribution to oncogenic cell transformation. Overexpression of HDACs correlates with tumorigenesis. Previous work showed that inhibition of HDACs results in apoptosis and the inhibition of cell proliferation in multiple cells. A significant number of HDAC inhibitors have been developed in the past decade. These inhibitors have strong anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo, inducing growth arrest, differentiation, and programmed cell death, inhibiting cell migration, invasion, and metastasis, and suppressing angiogenesis. In addition, HDAC-mediated deacetylation alters the transcriptional activity of nuclear transcription factors, including p53, E2F, c-Myc, and nuclear factor-κB, as well as the extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Notch, and Wnt signaling pathways. This review highlights the role of HDACs in cancer pathogenesis and, more importantly, that HDACs are potential novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) has been recently identified as a potential target for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, such as chronic inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. Virtual screening (VS) is currently a routine technique for hit identification, but its success depends on rational development of VS strategies. To facilitate this process, we applied our previously released benchmarking dataset, i.e., MUBD-HDAC3 to the evaluation of structure-based VS (SBVS) and ligand-based VS (LBVS) combinatorial approaches. We have identified FRED (Chemgauss4) docking against a structural model of HDAC3, i.e., SAHA-3 generated by a computationally inexpensive “flexible docking”, as the best SBVS approach and a common feature pharmacophore model, i.e., Hypo1 generated by Catalyst/HipHop as the optimal model for LBVS. We then developed a pipeline that was composed of Hypo1, FRED (Chemgauss4), and SAHA-3 sequentially, and demonstrated that it was superior to other combinations in terms of ligand enrichment. In summary, we present the first highly-validated, rationally-designed VS strategy specific to HDAC3 inhibitor discovery. The constructed pipeline is publicly accessible for the scientific community to identify novel HDAC3 inhibitors in a time-efficient and cost-effective way.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a highly heritable disease, but only ∼15% of this heritability can be explained by known genetic variant loci. In fact, body mass index is more predictive of diabetes than any of the common risk alleles identified by genome-wide association studies. This discrepancy may be explained by epigenetic inheritance, whereby changes in gene regulation can be passed along to offspring. Epigenetic changes throughout an organism's lifetime, based on environmental factors such as chemical exposures, diet, physical activity, and age, can also affect gene expression and susceptibility to diabetes. Recently, novel genome-wide assays of epigenetic marks have resulted in a greater understanding of how genetics, epigenetics, and the environment interact in the development and inheritance of diabetes.

Deletion of histone deacetylase 3 in adult beta cells improves glucose tolerance via increased insulin secretion. Mol Metab 2016; 6:30-37.

Abstract
Objective Histone deacetylases are epigenetic regulators known to control gene transcription in various tissues. A member of this family, histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), has been shown to regulate metabolic genes. Cell culture studies with HDAC-specific inhibitors and siRNA suggest that HDAC3 plays a role in pancreatic β-cell function, but a recent genetic study in mice has been contradictory. Here we address the functional role of HDAC3 in β-cells of adult mice. Methods An HDAC3 β-cell specific knockout was generated in adult MIP-CreERT transgenic mice using the Cre-loxP system. Induction of HDAC3 deletion was initiated at 8 weeks of age with administration of tamoxifen in corn oil (2 mg/day for 5 days). Mice were assayed for glucose tolerance, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and islet function 2 weeks after induction of the knockout. Transcriptional functions of HDAC3 were assessed by ChIP-seq as well as RNA-seq comparing control and β-cell knockout islets. Results HDAC3 β-cell specific knockout (HDAC3βKO) did not increase total pancreatic insulin content or β-cell mass. However, HDAC3βKO mice demonstrated markedly improved glucose tolerance. This improved glucose metabolism coincided with increased basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo as well as in isolated islets. Cistromic and transcriptomic analyses of pancreatic islets revealed that HDAC3 regulates multiple genes that contribute to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Conclusions HDAC3 plays an important role in regulating insulin secretion in vivo, and therapeutic intervention may improve glucose homeostasis. HDAC3 ablation in adult mouse β-cells improves glucose tolerance. Improved glucose tolerance is due to increased insulin secretion. HDAC3 targets multiple genes involved in potentiating insulin secretion.
