Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
3-Hydroxybutyric acid (D-β-hydroxybutyrate, BHB) is an endogenous and specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC). The IC50 for inhibiting HDAC1, HDAC3 and HDAC4 is respectively 5.3, 2.4 and 4.5 mM[1]. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid is a ketone body that can interact with lipids and also reduce the interfacial viscosity of the DPPC monolayer [2]. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid blocks the NLRP3 inflammasome and does not undergo oxidation in the TCA cycle [3].
In vitro, histone H3K9 acetylation at the Foxo3a and Mt2 promoters increased after HEK293 cells were treated with 3-hydroxybutyrate (10 mM) for 24 hours [1]. After treating human monocytes for 24 hours, 3-hydroxybutyric acid (1-20 mM) dose-dependently inhibits the production of interleukin IL-1β and IL-18 mediated by the NLRP3 inflammasome [3]. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid (10 mM) treated mouse glial cells for 48 hours, which significantly promoted cell proliferation [4].
In vivo, 3-hydroxybutyrate (2mM or 5mM) administered to C57BL/6 mice via intracerebroventricular injection can reduce the binding of HDAC2 and HDAC3 to the pI promoter of Bdnf [5]. Intraperitoneal injection of 3-hydroxybutyric acid (5.0 mmol/kg) into suckling mice after hypoxia-ischemia treatment can reduce the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the brain area, reduce cerebral infarction, and thereby reduce brain damage [6].

Cell experiment [1]: |
|
Cell lines |
HEK293 cells |
Preparation method |
HEK293 cells were treated with 10 mM 3-Hydroxybutyric acid or PBS for 24 hours. Chromatin was immunoprecipitated with anti-H3 or anti-AcH3K9 and the purified DNA was analyzed with primer pairs specific for the Foxo3a or Mt2 promoters. |
Reaction Conditions |
10mM; 24h |
Applications |
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis of the Foxo3a and Mt2 promoters with two distinct primer pairs for each promoter revealed increased histone H3K9 acetylation at both promoters after treatment of HEK293 cells with a high dose of 3-Hydroxybutyric acid (10mM). |
Animal experiment [2]: |
|
Animal models |
C57BL/6 male mice |
Preparation method |
Mice were anesthetized under isoflurane and placed on a stereotaxic frame. The body temperature of the animals was maintained at 37°C using a homeothermic blanket. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid (2mM and 5mM; 5 µl) was delivered by a Hamilton syringe at a flow rate of 0.5 µl/min using a nanomite syringe pump. |
Dosage form |
2mM and 5mM; 5 µl; i.c.v. |
Applications |
3-Hydroxybutyric acid (2mM or 5mM) treatment decreased the binding of both HDAC2 and HDAC3 on the pI promoter of Bdnf. |
