It is known that marine invertebrates produce significant amounts of molecules showing active pharmacological properties and an extensive spectrum of biomedical applications. This review is focused on the description of the molecular, biochemical, and, where available, physiological aspects of marine invertebrate-derived compounds that possess HDACi properties, taking into consideration their possible utilization as treatment agents against different pathological states. Abstract: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key components of the epigenetic machinery controlling gene expression. They are involved in chromatin remodeling events via post-translational histone modifications but may also act on nonhistone proteins, influencing many fundamental cellular processes. Due to

Triassic stromatolites from the Germanic Basin seem to be an important part of the puzzle, but have barely been investigated so far. Here we analyzed late Anisian (upper Middle Muschelkalk) stromatolites from across the Germanic Basin by combining petrographic approaches (optical microscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence, Raman imaging) and geochemical analyses (sedimentary hydrocarbons, stable carbon and oxygen isotopes).

    Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors Subjects: Molecular Biology Contributors: Claudio Luparello , Mirella Vazzana Submitted by: Claudio Luparello Definition Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key components of the epigenetic machinery controlling gene expression. They are involved in chromatin remodeling events via post-translational histone modifications but may also act on nonhistone proteins, influencing many fundamental cellular processes. Due to the key involvement of HDACs in serious human pathologies, including cancer, HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) have received increased attention in recent years. It is known that marine invertebrates produce significant amounts of secondary metabolites showing active pharmacological properties and an extensive spectrum of biomedical applications. Some of these compounds possess HDACi properties. 1. Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a key group of enzymes, highly conserved throughout evolution, involved in chromatin remodeling events via post-translational histone modification by catalyzing the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues in their amino termini, thus determining chromatin condensation and transcriptional repression. These enzymes ay also act on non-histone proteins, thereby influencing many fundamental cellular processes, including microtubule dynamics and intracellular transport, metabolism, and aging [1],[2],[3]. HDACs are involved in cancer- associated cell hyperproliferation, invasion, and metastasis [4],[5]. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) belong
