During inflammatory events, the induction of immediate-early genes, such as TNF-alpha, is regulated by signaling cascades including the JAK/STAT, NF-kappaB, and the p38 MAPK pathways, which result in phosphorylation-dependent activation of transcription factors. We observed the direct interaction of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 3, a class I histone deacetylase, with MAPK11 (p38 beta isoform) by West-Western-based screening analysis, pull-down assay, and two-hybrid system analysis.
