摘要

Despite advances in the molecular understanding of tumorigenesis and tumor cell apoptosis, the efficacy of chemotherapeutic treatment has not significantly improved over the last decades. Conventional treatment regimens suffer from a small therapeutic window and are often associated with severe side effects. Recent data suggest that a novel class of compounds, the histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC inhibitors), displays potent cytotoxicity towards tumor cells with low or negligible effects on untransformed cells. In addition to causing cell cycle arrest and/or differentiation and programmed cell death in tumor cells, they can also inhibit tumor angiogenesis and display immunosuppressive properties. Excitingly, various HDAC inhibitors compounds show synergy with other anti- cancer drugs and are involved in early clinical trials or pre-clinical development.The mechanism of action of HDAC inhibitors has not been completely elucidated. They induce histone hyperacetylation associated with transcriptional modulation of a set of genes. Treatment of malignant cells with HDAC inhibitors has been reported to elicit upregulation of the cell cycle inhibitor p21(WAF1), and induction of apoptosis most likely is coincident with the cleavage and activation of the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bid. In addition, reactive oxygen species seem to play an important role in HDAC inhibitor-mediated cell death.This article summarizes what is currently known about the molecular and systemic sequelae of HDAC inhibitor treatment and focuses on recent progress regardingpotential applications for cancer treatment as stand-alone or combination therapy.
