Spermidine inhibits MMP-2 via modulation of histone acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase in HDFs
2012
Abstract In recent years, aging has been reported to be regulated by HAT. In this study, the inhibitory effects of spermidine on the matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity and expression were investigated in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). It was observed that spermidine inhibits MMP-2 activity and expression. In addition, the expression levels of histone acetyltransferase (HAT), phospho-extracellular-signal related kinase ( p -ERK), phospho-c-jun N-terminal kinase ( p -JNK), and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) are decreased in the presence of spermidine. In contrast, the expression levels of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), phospho-p38 ( p -p38) are increased by spermidine. In conclusion, our results suggest that spermidine could have a therapeutic potential in inhibition of metastasis through the inhibitory effects on activity and expression of MMP-2 via regulation of HAT and HDAC.
