Pharmacological HDAC inhibition impairs pancreatic β-cell function through an epigenome-wide reprogramming

Abstract excerpt

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...
