Histone deacetylase inhibitors for cancer therapy: An evolutionarily ancient resistance response may explain their limited success

JA Halsall, BM Turner - Bioessays, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are in clinical trials against a variety of cancers.
Despite early successes, results against the more common solid tumors have been mixed. How …

A large pheromone and receptor gene complex determines multiple B mating type specificities in Coprinus cinereus

SF O'Shea, PT Chaure, JR Halsall, NS Olesnicky… - Genetics, 1998 - academic.oup.com
Pheromone signaling plays an essential role in the mating and sexual development of
mushroom fungi. Multiallelic genes encoding the peptide pheromones and their cognate 7-…

Relative overexpression of X-linked genes in mouse embryonic stem cells is consistent with Ohno's hypothesis

H Lin, JA Halsall, P Antczak, LP O'Neill, F Falciani… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
Our results indicate that the controlled analysis of RNA-seq data supports earlier conclusions
that the active X chromosome is upregulated in mammals and that adjustment for the …

[HTML][HTML] Genes are often sheltered from the global histone hyperacetylation induced by HDAC inhibitors

J Halsall, V Gupta, LP O'Neill, BM Turner… - PloS one, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are increasingly used as therapeutic agents, but the
mechanisms by which they alter cell behaviour remain unclear. Here we use microarray …

[HTML][HTML] Cells adapt to the epigenomic disruption caused by histone deacetylase inhibitors through a coordinated, chromatin-mediated transcriptional response

JA Halsall, N Turan, M Wiersma, BM Turner - Epigenetics & chromatin, 2015 - Springer
Background The genome-wide hyperacetylation of chromatin caused by histone deacetylase
inhibitors (HDACi) is surprisingly well tolerated by most eukaryotic cells. The homeostatic …

[HTML][HTML] Immunostaining of modified histones defines high-level features of the human metaphase epigenome

E Terrenoire, F McRonald, JA Halsall, P Page… - Genome biology, 2010 - Springer
Background Immunolabeling of metaphase chromosome spreads can map components of
the human epigenome at the single cell level. Previously, there has been no systematic …

Modelling the response of a tungsten oxide semiconductor as a gas sensor for the measurement of ozone

…, RA Cox, GM Hansford, J Halsall - Measurement …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
The behaviour of gas-sensitive resistors based on WO 3 towards small concentrations of ozone
in air can be understood with a simple model involving the reaction of ozone with surface …

Three subfamilies of pheromone and receptor genes generate multiple B mating specificities in the mushroom Coprinus cinereus

JR Halsall, MJ Milner, LA Casselton - Genetics, 2000 - academic.oup.com
The B mating type locus of the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus encodes a large family of
lipopeptide pheromones and their seven transmembrane domain receptors. Here we show …

[HTML][HTML] The histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium valproate causes limited transcriptional change in mouse embryonic stem cells but selectively overrides Polycomb …

E Boudadi, H Stower, JA Halsall, CE Rutledge… - Epigenetics & …, 2013 - Springer
Background Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) cause histone hyperacetylation and
H3K4 hypermethylation in various cell types. They find clinical application as anti-epileptics …

[HTML][HTML] Histone modifications form a cell-type-specific chromosomal bar code that persists through the cell cycle

JA Halsall, S Andrews, F Krueger, CE Rutledge… - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Chromatin configuration influences gene expression in eukaryotes at multiple levels, from
individual nucleosomes to chromatin domains several Mb long. Post-translational …
