A method for HDAC activity screening in postmortem human brain. A proof-of-concept study with antipsychotics.
Background: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) density and activity are altered in different brain disorders. Antipsychotic drugs (APs) might modulate HDAC activity in brains of schizophrenia subjects.
New method: HDAC activity assay amenable for enzyme kinetics and HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) screening studies in postmortem human brain samples.
Results: The optimization and characterization work involved several steps. The nucleosolic subcellular fraction and total protein amount needed for an optimal HDAC activity on Boc-Lys(Ac)-AMC substrate were characterized. Signal-to-noise ratio (1.8) and Z-score values (0.82) were indicators of the assay quality. Inhibition studies with non-selective (belinostat, vorinostat, valproic acid) and selective (apicidin, MS275, romidepsin, tacedinaline and EX527) HDACis showed that the optimized assay detected class I HDAC activity. The obtained IC50 values were similar to those previously reported, proving the assay reliability. We used the optimized assay to study the effect of APs on HDAC activity. Inhibition studies with APs in postmortem human brain, together with enzyme kinetic studies in brains of rats chronically treated with APs observed no modulation of class I HDAC activity.
Comparison with existing methods: This study describes the optimization of a reliable and cost efficient HDAC activity assay for its use in postmortem human brain samples. The assay does not depend on antibody specificity and it is valid for enzyme kinetic studies and for the screening of new potential class I HDACis.
Conclusions: We optimized and characterized an assay to measure HDAC activity in postmortem human brain samples. We did not observe any modulatory effect of APs on HDAC activity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuroscience Methods publishes papers that describe new methods that are specifically for neuroscience research conducted in invertebrates, vertebrates or in man. Major methodological improvements or important refinements of established neuroscience methods are also considered for publication. The Journal''s Scope includes all aspects of contemporary neuroscience research, including anatomical, behavioural, biochemical, cellular, computational, molecular, invasive and non-invasive imaging, optogenetic, and physiological research investigations.
