Effects of adolescent alcohol exposure on histone acetylation mechanism.

Study Species Exp. Region Genes Mark(s) Findings
(Pandey et al., 2015) Sprague Dawley rats Intermittent, 2g/kg i.p. CeA, MeA Hdac2, Hdac4, Bdnf-I, Bdnf-IV, Arc H3K9ac, H3K9/14ac - Decreased H3K9ac and increased HDAC2 and HDAC4.
- Increased HDAC activity
- TSA prevents molecular effects, anxiety and alcohol consumption
(Sakharkar et al., 2016) Sprague Dawley rats Intermittent, 2g/kg i.p. Hipp. Ki-67, DCX, Bdnf-I, Bdnf-IV, CBP H3K9ac, H3K9/14ac - Decreased H3K9ac and CBP in CA1–3 regions,
-Increased HDAC activity
- TSA prevents anxiety, restores markers of neurogenesis and decreases of H3K9/14ac at BDNF-I and BDNF-IV promoters
(Mulholland et al., 2018) Sprague Dawley rats 5g/kg i.g. Hipp. Fmr1 H3K9/14ac,H3K27ac - Donepezil prevents increases of Fmr1 mRNA and increased H3K27ac at Fmr1 gene
(Bohnsack et al., 2019) Humans Earlyage of onset Amgydala BDNF, Arc H3K27ac - Decreased Arc and BDNF expression and decrease in H3K27ac at regulatory elements
(Zhang et al., 2018) Sprague Dawley rats Intermittent 2g/kg i.p. CeA, MeA CBP, P300, CREB H3K9/14Ac - Decreased CBP, P300, and CREB expression
- Decreased H3K9/14ac at promoters of CBP, P300, and CREB.

Abbreviations: Exp. = exposure, i.p. = intraperitoneal, i.g. = intragastric, CeA = central nucleus of the amygdala, MeA = medial nucleus of the amygdala, Hipp = hippocampus.
