Background: Histone Deacetylase 8/HDAC8
Human Histone Deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a member of the class I Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) (1, 2). HDACs are important enzymes for the transcriptional regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells (3). HDACs catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysines near the N-termini of histones. Human HDACs have been implicated in a variety of human diseases such as cardiomyopathy, osteodystrophy, neurodegenerative disorders, aging and cancer (4). Expression of HDAC8 is restricted to cells showing smooth muscle differentiation in normal human tissue and is a novel marker of smooth muscle differentiation (5, 6). Like other class I and II HDAC members, the activity of HDAC8 is sensitive to HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (1).
