Remetinostat, an HDAC inhibitor, can maintain its potency within the skin with minimal systemic effects, making it a promising topical medication for treating psoriasis. But its effectiveness in treating psoriasis has not been evaluated. In this study, the topical application of remetinostat significantly improved psoriasiform inflammation in an imiquimod-induced mice model by inhibiting CD86 expression of CD11C⁺I-A/I-E⁺ dendritic cells (DCs) in the skin. Moreover, remetinostat could dampen the maturation and activation of bone marrow-derived DCs in vitro, as well as the expression of psoriasis-related inflammatory mediators by keratinocytes. In addition, remetinostat could promote keratinocyte differentiation without affecting its proliferation. Our findings demonstrate that remetinostat improves psoriasis by inhibiting the maturation and activation of DCs and the differentiation and inflammation of keratinocytes, which may facilitate the potential application of remetinostat in anti-psoriasis therapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12004,"journal":{"name":"European journal of pharmacology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142282493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most people living with hypertension have uncontrolled high blood pressure, increasing their likelihood of cardiovascular events. Significant issues preventing blood pressure control include lack of diagnosis, treatment, and response to existing therapy. For example, monotherapy and combination therapy are often unable to lower blood pressure to target levels. New therapies are urgently required to tackle this issue, particularly those that target the mechanisms behind hypertension instead of treating its symptoms. Acting via an increase in systemic and tissue-specific inflammation, the immune system is a critical contributor to blood pressure regulation and is considered an early mechanism leading to hypertension development. Here, we review the immune system's role in hypertension, evaluate clinical trials that target inflammation, and discuss knowledge gaps in pre-clinical and clinical data. We examine the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs colchicine and methotrexate on hypertension and evaluate the blockade of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α on blood pressure in clinical trials. Lastly, we highlight how we can move forward to target specific components of the immune system to lower blood pressure. This includes targeting isolevuglandins, which accumulate in dendritic cells to promote T cell activation and cytokine production in salt-induced hypertension. We discuss the potential of the dietary fibre-derived metabolites short-chain fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory and blood pressure-lowering effects via the gut microbiome. This would limit adverse events, leading to improved medication adherence and better blood pressure control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12004,"journal":{"name":"European journal of pharmacology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014299924006988/pdfft?md5=7c5183e399fa616ec6173e3649d86649&pid=1-s2.0-S0014299924006988-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142282491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aberrant epigenetic alterations induced by histone deacetylases (HDACs) were massively implicated in dysregulating the function of hormone receptors in breast cancer. Although much is known about the regulation of ER signaling by HDAC, the precise role of HDAC in modulating the expression of PR and its impact on the outcomes of hormonal therapy is poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate the involvement of HDAC6 in regulating PR expression in breast cancer cells. The correlation between HDAC6 and hormone receptors was investigated in patients’ tissues by immunohistochemistry (n = 80) and publicly available data (n = 3260) from breast cancer patients. We explored the effect of modulating the expression of HDAC6 as well as its catalytic inhibition on the level of hormone receptors by a variety of molecular analyses, including Western blot, immunofluorescence, Real-time PCR, RNA-seq analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Based on our in-silico and immunohistochemistry analyses, HDAC6 levels were negatively correlated with PR status in breast cancer tissues. The downregulation of HDAC6 enhanced the expression of PR-B in hormone receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. The selective targeting of HDAC6 by tubacin resulted in the enrichment of the H3K9 acetylation mark at the <em>PGR-B</em> gene promoter region and enhanced the expression of PR-B. Additionally, transcriptomic analysis of tubacin-treated cells revealed enhanced activity of acetyltransferase and growth factor signaling pathways, along with the enrichment of transcription factors involved in the transcriptional activity of ER, underscoring the crucial role of HDAC6 in regulating hormone receptors. Notably, the addition of HDAC6 inhibitor potentiated the effects of anti-ER and anti-PR drugs mainly in TNBC cells.

Our findings showed that 18β-GA significantly inhibited the expression of OATP2B1 and the transport of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) in LNCap and 22RV1 cells.

The results obtained in castrated model mice matched the findings of in vitro experiments. 18β-GA significantly reduced the uptake of DHEAS mediated by OATP2B1 in mouse tumor tissues and cooperated with ENZ to further inhibit the expression of AR and PSA, combat the growth of tumor cells, and promote the apoptosis of tumor cells. In conclusion, 18β-GA considerably decreased the uptake of DHEAS and androgen production in cells by inhibiting the transport function of OATP2B1, while ENZ inhibited the nuclear translocation of AR and reduced the expression of AR.
