In ischemic stroke, vascular occlusion rapidly induces tissue infarct. Over the ensuing hours, damage spreads to adjacent tissue and forms transition zone (penumbra), which is potentially salvageable. Epigenetic regulation of chromatin structure controls gene expression and protein synthesis. We studied the expression of histone deacetylases HDAC1 and HDAC2 in the penumbra at 4 or 24 h after photothrombotic stroke (PTS) in the rat brain cortex. PTS increased the expression of HDAC1 and HDAC2 in penumbra and caused the redistribution of HDAC1 but not HDAC2 from the neuronal nuclei to cytoplasm. In astrocytes, HDAC1 expression and localization did not change. In neurons, HDAC2 localized exclusively in nuclei, but in astrocytes, it was also observed in processes. PTS induced neuronal apoptosis in the penumbra. TUNEL-stained apoptotic neurons co-localized with HDAC2 but not HDAC1. These data suggest that HDAC2 may represent the potential target for anti-stroke therapy and its selective inhibition may be a promising strategy for the protection of the penumbra tissue after ischemic stroke.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a degenerative autoimmune disease, often managed through symptomatic treatment. The co-occurrence of the reported extra-articular comorbidities such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and dementia may complicate the pathology of the disease as well as the treatment strategies. Therefore, in our study, we aim to elucidate the key genes, and regulatory elements implicated in the progression and association of these diseases, thereby highlighting the linked potential therapeutic targets.

Post-translational modifications of histone H3 on lysine 9, specifically acetylation (H3K9ac) and tri-methylation (H3K9me3), play a critical role in regulating chromatin accessibility. However, the role of these modifications in lineage segregation in the mammalian blastocyst remains poorly understood. We demonstrate that di- and tri-methylation marks, H3K9me2 and H3K9me3, decrease during cavitation and expansion of the rabbit blastocyst.

Sleep is crucial for sustaining normal physiological functions, and sleep deprivation has been associated with increased pain sensitivity. The histone deacetylases (HDACs) are known to significantly regulate in regulating neuropathic pain, but their involvement in nociceptive hypersensitivity during sleep deprivation is still not fully understood. Utilizing a modified multi-platform water environment technique to establish a sleep deprivation model.

Article Synopsis
- Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) removes acetyl groups from histones, impacting gene expression regulation, but its suppression leads to both increases and decreases in gene activity.
- The study used the dTAG system for rapid HDAC1 degradation in mouse embryonic stem cells, which allowed for specific removal within less than an hour.
- After HDAC1 degradation, most differentially expressed genes were upregulated within two hours, and changes in histone acetylation patterns indicated HDAC1's complex role in managing gene expression and enhancer activity for maintaining pluripotency.

Article Synopsis
- * The study found that removing the gene LSD1 in myeloid cells (which develop into osteoclasts) leads to increased bone mass and smaller osteoclasts in mice, indicating its role in bone health.
- * The research suggests that LSD1 influences osteoclast differentiation by affecting gene expression, specifically by interacting with other proteins that modify histones, ultimately impacting how osteoclasts function.
