Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that HDAC inhibitors selectively inhibit IL-2 gene expression, but the mechanism of this inhibition remains to be elucidated. It was recently reported that HDAC4, a component of the nuclear hormone receptor corepressor (N-CoR) complex, associates with the IL-2 promoter via the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2). We therefore focused on the role of HDAC4/N-CoR complex...
