🧪 Overview

HDAC6 deacetylates α-tubulin and regulates cytoskeletal dynamics. HDAC6 overexpression causes axonal transport defects. Selective HDAC6 inhibition restores acetylated tubulin levels, improves axonal transport, and delays disease progression in CMT2A and SOD1 mouse models.

🧬 Mechanism

No curated mechanism pathway recorded for this hypothesis.

⚖️ Evidence

⚖️ Evidence Matrix4 supports4 contradicts
Supports
HDAC6 inhibition improves axonal transport in CMT2A mice
Supports
Tubastatin A (HDAC6i) extends survival in SOD1 mice by ~7%
Supports
HDAC6 knockout mice are phenotypically normal with no major toxicity
Supports
Ricolinostat (ACY-1215) showed acceptable safety in Phase I/II cancer trials
Contradicts
SOD1-G93A mouse is a discredited model with massive overexpression artifact
Contradicts
α-tubulin acetylation doesn't always correlate with kinesin/dynein velocity
Contradicts
HDAC6-null mice show no axonal transport defects despite complete loss
Contradicts
Target promiscuity: HDAC6 affects HSP90, cortactin, tau beyond tubulin
