Research Abstract |
We studied whether matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) are effective for the therapy for muscular dystrophy at first. We showed that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) promote myotube formation more efficiently than MMPIs. However, its exact mechanism remains unknown. We found that TSA enhances myogenesis by coordinating myogenic regulatory factors and transcriptional repressor.
