Figure Lengend Snippet: Structural overlay of HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8 bound to SAHA ( A ) and citarinostat ( B ). HDAC1, green; HDAC2, cyan; HDAC3, wheat; HDAC8, pink. HDAC2 (0.05 mg/ml) ( C ) or HDAC8 (0.4 mg/ml) ( D ) were incubated with crotonylated histone H3 or acetylated histone H3 in the presence or absence of different concentrations of citarinostat. Total histone H3 and histone PTMs were detected by Western blot. ( E ) HDAC3 was knocked out in 2D10 cells via CRISPR-Cas9, using a nontargeting guide RNA as the control, and the cells were cultured for 5 days. NT, nontargeting control; KO, knock out. ( F ) In a separate experiment, 2D10 cells were pretreated for 24 hours with DMSO or 20 nM YX968, an HDAC3/8 dual PROTAC. For both experimental series, cells were subsequently treated for 30 min with the following HDACis: DMSO (vehicle), 350 nM SAHA, 0.1 μM citarinostat, 5 μM RGFP966, or 5 μM mod-RGFP966. Histones were then extracted and analyzed by Western blot for specific PTMs and total histone H3 levels.

Article Snippet: We first confirmed that 1 to 20 nM YX968 (MedChemExpress) selectively degraded HDAC3 and HDAC8, but not HDAC1 and HDAC2, in 2D10 cells, unless the dosage was higher than 50 nM (fig. S5D).

( O ) Working model. Under normoxic conditions, Tip60 is prolyl-hydroxylated and stabilized by PHD2, and then Tip60 acetylates β-TrCP1 to stabilize β-TrCP1, allowing cells with lower levels of p53. Under hypoxic conditions, impaired prolyl hydroxylation of Tip60 results in the degradation of Tip60, and HDAC8 is recruited to β-TrCP1, synergistically promoting a decrease in β-TrCP1 acetylation. Thus, more SMURF2 is recruited to β-TrCP1 and ubiquitinates β-TrCP1 to promote its degradation. Ultimately, p53 is accumulated, and cell death occurs.
