Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play critical roles in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In addition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NADPH oxidases (NOXs) exert damaging effects due to oxidative stress on heart and blood vessels. Although NOX-dependent ROS production is implicated in pathogenesis, the relationship between HDACs and NOXs in CVDs remains to be elucidated. Here, we present an overview of the regulatory effects and interconnected signaling pathways of HDACs and NOXs in CVDs. Improved insights into these relationships will facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic agents that target HDACs, oxidase stress pathways, and the interactions between these systems which may be highly effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disorders.
