QUICK LINKS

Trichostatin A is a potent and noncompetitive reversible inhibitor of HDAC (histone deacetylase) with a Ki of 3.4 nM. In HeLa cells, Trichostatin A blocked cell cycle progression at G1 and induced a 12-fold increase in intracellular levels of gelsolin. In cells latently infected with HIV-1, Trichostatin A induced the transcriptional activation of the HIV-1 promoter, which resulted in a marked increase in virus production. In NIH 3T3 cells, Trichostatin A induced reversion of oncogenic ras-transformed cells to a normal morphology. In Jurkat cells, it inhibited IL-2 gene expression. It also increased acetylation of GATA4, a cardiac-specific transcription factor and increases cardiac muscle cell differentiation. In normal rat fibroblasts, Trichostatin A induced Friend cell differentiation and inhibited the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle. It is a useful tool for induction of hyperacetylation of cellular histones and for further elucidation of their role in gene expression.
