Abstract

Histone deacetylases (HDAC) activity is associated generally with transcriptional repression. We have reported previously that apicidin. a histione deacetylase inhibitor. inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells via induction of p21 WAF/C1P1. We extended our study to identify the effect of apicidin on the expression of other cell cycle regulatory protein. such as cyclin E. a critical regulator of the transition from G1 into S phase.
