Abstract

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key enzymes for post-translational modification and influence on various cellular activities. Thus, HDACs are associated with many diseases and their inhibitors have clinical significance. Here, 4-Hexylresorcinol (4HR) was studied as an inhibitor for class I HDACs using the HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) Trichostatin-A as a positive control. The 4HR was administered 1–100 µM to human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the HDAC expression and activity were examined. The 4HR decreased the expression level of HDAC1, 3, 4, and 5 in a time and dose-dependent manner. The 4HR also increased acetylated lysine and decreased HDAC activity significantly (p < 0.05). Collectively, 4HR was a new class I HDAC inhibitor that reduced the expression and activity of HDAC in HUVECs.
