Abstract
Introduction: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes control the acetylation status of transcription factors that regulate chromatin structure and gene function. The transcriptional regulatory factors that distinguish histone acetylation and deacetylation patterns by pharmacological HDAC inhibition (HDACi) have not yet been studied.
Methods: We analysed sequencing datasets derived from human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) stimulated with the HDAC inhibitors, Trichostatin A (TSA) and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). We integrated gene expression and histone acetylation profiles with the transcription factor binding site (TFBS) database derived from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project. Results: Overall, TFBS signatures observed in SAHA and TSA stimulated cells were analogous. Histone acetylation was observed at transcription factor binding sites of target genes associated with the silencing factors NRSF, EZH2 and SUZ12. Histone deacetylation was a prominent property of HDACi and correlated with changes in the expression of genes regulated by proteins in transcriptional control such as histone acetyltransferase P300 and lysine demethylase JARID1A, as well as the regulatory factors cMYC, YY1 and STAT family proteins. Conclusion: We identified several transcription factors and coregulators implicated in the regulation of histone modification at target genes mediated by pharmacological HDAC inhibition.Keywords: Epigenetics, Deacetylation, Histone Acetylation, Transcription factor, Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic acid, Trichostatin A.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more
