General description

Trichostatin A is a compound of primary hydroxamic acid.

Application

Trichostatin A, ready-made solution has been used:
  • as a histone deacetylase inhibitor to study its effect on transcriptome changes by stem cell testing
  • to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) class I, II, or III in primary pituitary cell cultures and to investigate insulin control of endogenous human growth hormone gene (hGH)
  • to treat cells for the HDAC inhibition experiments

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trichostatin A (TSA) is a Streptomyces metabolite, which specifically inhibits mammalian histone deacetylase at a nanomolar concentration and causes accumulation of highly acetylated histone molecules in mammalian cells. For that reason, trichostatin A is a tool to study the consequences of histone acetylation in vivo. Trichostatin A induces cell differentiation, cell cycle arrest, reversal of transformed cells morphology, and apoptosis and is able to modulate transcription. TSA has been used to establish a new cloning technique, which increases the success rates for mouse cloning.

The 30-nm fiber is commonly formed by oligonucleosome arrays in vitro but rarely found inside cells. To determine how chromatin higher-order structure is controlled, we used electron cryotomography (cryo-ET) to study the undigested natural chromatin released from two single-celled organisms

Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are important components of the skeletal muscle regenerative environment. Whether FAPs support muscle regeneration or promote fibro-adipogenic degeneration is emerging as a key determinant in the pathogenesis of muscular diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, the
