Histone Deacetylase Inhibition Promotes Osteoblast Maturation by Altering the Histone 4 (H4) Epigenome (ChIP-Seq)

ChIP-Seq analysis revealed that suberoylanilidehydroxamic acid (SAHA) increases genome-wide H4 acetylation in differentially regulated genes, except for the 500 bp upstream of transcription start sites (TSS). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with massively parallel high throughput sequencing (Seq) was used to map genome-wide histone H4 acetylation (K4/7/11/15) in the presence or absence of SAHA in differentiating MC3T3 sc4 osteoblasts.
