Hypoxia-induced conversion of sensory Schwann cells into repair cells is regulated by HDAC8 by Nadège Hertzog, Mert Duman, Maëlle Bochud, Valérie Brügger-Verdon, Maren Gerhards, Felicia Schön, Franka Dorndecker, Dies Meijer, Robert Fledrich, Ruth Stassart, Devanarayanan Siva Sankar, Jörn Dengjel, Sofía Raigón López, Claire Jacob

“…We found that HDAC8 is specifically expressed in sensory SCs and regulates the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRAF7, which destabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α) and counteracts the phosphorylation and upregulation of c-Jun, a major inducer of the repair SC phenotype. …”
