Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides for methods of treating and preventing cardiac hypertrophy. Class I HDACs, which are known to participate in regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression, have generally been considered as pro-hypertrophic in their action. However, the present invention demonstrates that inhibition of certain Class I HDACs should be avoided in the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy, thereby pointing toward selective, and not global, inhibition of Class I HDACs. In particular, the present invention provides for selective inhibition of HDACs 1 and/or 2, and the avoidance of inhibition of HDAC3.
