AcetylationMiceH3K4ac, H3K9ac, H3K27acH3K4ac, H3K9ac, and H3K27ac mediated by p300 are increased in cardiac hypertrophy and HF[24,25]
AcetylationMiceH3K27acH3K27ac mediated by p300 exacerbates cardiac dysfunction[26]
AcetylationMiceH3K9ac; H3K23acH3K23ac and H3K9ac are elevated in hearts of mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy[27]
AcetylationMiceK3K14acH3K14ac is increased in mice induced by prenatal alcohol exposure, which contributed to abnormal fetal heart development[28]
AcetylationRatsH3K122acH3K122ac is increased during the stages of HF[29]
AcetylationMice, humanSERCA2a K492acIncreased SERCA2a K492ac is associated with systolic dysfunction in HF[30]
AcetylationMiceTFAM (K62ac, K76ac, K111ac, K118ac)Acetylation of TFAM 4KR is diminished in response to low expression of GCN 5 L 1 in HF, which results in a reduction in mitochondrial DNA abundance and impaired cardiac energetics[31]
AcetylationMiceP53 4KR (k98ac, K117ac, K161ac, K162ac)Increased P53 4KR acetylation leads to coronary capillary sparsity, cardiac remodeling, and cardiac dysfunction[32]
AcetylationMiceP53 K381acLipopolysaccharide increases p53 K381ac and promotes the nuclear translocation of p53, contributing to cardiac dysfunction[33]
AcetylationMiceDrp1 K642acHigh-fat diet leads to DRP1 K642ac increase, which activates DRP1 and results in cardiomyocyte dysfunction and death[34]
AcetylationMiceSF3A2 K10acGinsenoside Rb2 directly interacts with P300 to reduce SF3A2 K10ac, enhance mitochondrial respiration, and mitigate cardiac dysfunction[35]
