Table 2

The chemical modulators of BRG1. This list summarizes the current research on the chemical modulators of BRG1. BRG1: Brahma-related gene-1; BRM: Brahma; CDK: cyclin-dependent kinase; ENT: entinostat; HO-1: heme oxygenase 1; H/R: hypoxia/reoxygenation; IsoPostC: isoflurane postconditioning; NAC: N-acetylcysteine; Nrf2: nuclear factor E2-related factor 2; PPC: propofol postconditioning; SPostC: sevoflurane postconditioning; STAT3: signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; SWI/SNF: switch/sucrose nonfermentable.

ModulatorsKnown actionsRef.

Chemicals
 17β-estradiol17β-estradiol antagonizes both the expression and activity of BRG1/BRM.[58]
 AdiponectinAdiponectin promotes HO-1 induction by simultaneously activating Nrf2 and BRG1 to reduce cardiac oxidative stress, improve cardiac hypertrophy, and prevent left ventricular dysfunction in diabetic patients.[39]
β-Adrenergic agonistIn vitro stimulation of myocardial cells with angiotensin II or a β-adrenergic agonist results in increased BRG1 expression.[116]
 CDK inhibitorsCDK9 inhibition dephosphorylates the SWI/SNF protein BRG1, which contributes to gene reactivation.[127]
 DarinaparsinDarinaparsin inhibits HO-1 transcription by causing BRG1 phosphorylation through G2/M cell cycle arrest.[33]
 ENTAt the protein level, ENT reduces BRG1 protein abundance in Rh30 and U23674 cells, notably to an undetected level.[128]
 IsoPostCEmulsified IsoPostC protects the heart through BRG1/Nrf2/STAT3 signaling.[38]
 NACThe enhanced expression of BRG1 may be a new mechanism by which antioxidant NAC provides cardiac protection.[36]
 OridoninOridonin inhibits proliferation of Jurkat cells via the downregulation of BRG1.[129]
 PFI-3PFI-3 is a highly potent, selective, and cell-permeable inhibitor for the BRG1/BRM.[130, 131]
 PhosphoaminoglycosidesPreparations of phosphoaminoglycosides were identified as inhibitors of the in vitro activities of three SWI2/SNF2 family members.[132]
 PPCPPC provides protection to H/R-induced L02 cells by activating Nrf2 and BRG1.[41]
 PropofolPropofol alleviates oxidative stress in anoxia/reoxygenated hepatocytes by upregulating lncrna-TUG1/BRG1 pathway.[40]
 RosiglitazoneThe expression of BRG1 was significantly increased in cardiac remodeling heart, and the change can be reversed by rosiglitazone.[124]
 SPostCSPostC prevents hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte damage and oxidative stress by activating Nrf2/BRG1/HO-1 signaling.[37]
 TetrandrineTetrandrine upregulated BRG1 expression in a dose- and time-dependent pattern in Hep-2 cells.[133]
