BRD3 and BRD4 BET Bromodomain Proteins Differentially Regulate Skeletal Myogenesis

Abstract Myogenic differentiation proceeds through a highly coordinated cascade of gene activation that necessitates epigenomic changes in chromatin structure. Using a screen of small molecule epigenetic probes we identified three compounds which inhibited myogenic differentiation in C2C12 myoblasts...
