The acetylation of histone is one of the mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene expression and is tightly controlled by two core enzymes, histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and deacetylase (HDAC). There are several reports that imbalance of HAT and HDAC activity is associated with abnormal behavior of the cells in morphology, cell cycle, differentiation, and carcinogenesis. Recently, an increasing number of structurally diverse HDAC inhibitors have been identified that inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation and/or apoptosis of tumor cells in vivo and in vitro.

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) 억제제가 새로운 항암치료제 후보물질로서 유용성이 높은 것으로 평가되지만, 아직까지 인체폐암세포에 관한 연구는 상대적으로 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폐암세포에 미치는 HDAC 억제제의 항암작용 기전을 조사하기 위하여 A549 인체폐암세포주를 대상으로 암세포의 증식에 미치는 대표적인 HDAC 억제제인 tichostatin A (TSA)에 의한 영향을 세포주기 조절관련인자 중심으로 조사하였다. TSA의 처리에 의하여 A549 폐암세포의 증식은 처리 농도 의존적으로 억제되었으며, 심한 형태적 변형을 동반하였다. 저농도 처리군에서는 TSA 농도가 증가할수록 세포주기 G1기의 빈도가 증가하였으나, 고농도 처리군에서는 G2/M기에 속하는 세포의 빈도가 증가되었다. 또한 apoptosis 유발의 간접적인 지표가 되는 sub-G1기에 속하는 세포의 빈도 역시 TSA 처리 농도 의존적으로 매우 증가되었다. 이러한 TSA의 A549 폐암세포 증식억제 효과는 cyclins 및 CdkS의 발현 억제, 종양억제유전자인 p53 및 Cdks 억제제인 p21과 p27의 발현 증가와도 연관성이 있었다. TSA의 항암 기전을 규명하기 위해서는 더 많은 연구가 부가적으로 필요하겠지만, 본 연구의 결과들에 의하면 TSA는 강력한 인체폐암세포의 증식 억제 및 항암작용이 있음을 시사하여 준다고 할 수 있다.

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors represent a novel class of anticancer agents, which can be used to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in several types of cancer cells. In this study, we investigated the anticancer activity of MHY4381, a newly synthesized HDAC inhibitor, against human prostate cancer cell lines and compared its efficacy with that of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), a well-known HDAC inhibitor. We assessed cell viability, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and other biological effects in the prostate cancer cells. We also evaluated a possible mechanism of MHY4381 on the apoptotic cell death pathway. The IC₅₀ value of MHY4381 was lower in DU145 cells (IC₅₀=0.31 µM) than in LNCaP (IC₅₀=0.85 µM) and PC-3 cells (IC₅₀=5.23 µM). In addition, the IC₅₀ values of MHY4381 measured in this assay were significantly lower than those of SAHA against prostate cancer cell lines. MHY4381 increased the levels of acetylated histones H3 and H4 and reduced the expression of HDAC proteins in the prostate cancer cell lines. MHY4381 increased G2/M phase arrest in DU145 cells, and G1 arrest in LNCaP cells. It also activated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which induced apoptosis in the DU145 and LNCaP cells by increasing the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and releasing cytochrome c into the cytoplasm. Our results indicated that MHY4381 preferentially results in antitumor effects in DU145 and LNCaP cells via mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and ROS-facilitated cell death pathway, and therefore can be used as a promising prostate cancer therapeutic.

There are several reports that imbalance of HAT and HDAC activity is associated with abnormal behavior of the cells in morphology, cell cycle, differentiation, and carcinogenesis. Recently, an increasing number of structurally diverse HDAC inhibitors have been identified that inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation and/or apoptosis of tumor cells in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we have investigated the effects of novel HDAC inhibitors, IN2001 on ER positive and ER negative human breast cancer cell lines. The growth inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of cells by HDAC inhibitors were determined using SRB assay, DNA fragmentation, and flow cytometry. We found that IN 2001 as well as Trichostatin A inhibited cell growth dose-dependently in both ER positive and ER negative human breast cancer cell lines. The growth inhibition with HDAC inhibitors was associated with profound morphological change. The result of cell cycle analysis after 24 h exposure of IN2001 showed G2-M cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 cell and apoptosis in T47D and MDA-MB-231 cell. In summary, IN2001 has antiproliferative effect on human breast cancer cells regardless of the expression of estrogen receptor. These findings heights the possibility of developing HDAC inhibitors as potential anticancer therapeutic agents for the treatment of breast cancer.

In summary, IN2001 has antiproliferative effect on human breast cancer cells regardless of the expression of estrogen receptor. These findings heights the possibility of developing HDAC inhibitors as potential anticancer therapeutic agents for the treatment of breast cancer.

We have studied the mechanism of action of TCDD on CYP1A1 promoter activity in both Hepa Ⅰ and MCF-7 cells using transient transfection system with p1A1-Luc reporter gene. When HDAC inhibitors, such as trichostatin A, HC toxin and a novel HDAC inhibitor, IN2001 were cotreated with TCDD to the cells transfected with plAt-Luc reporter gene, the basal promoter activity of CYP1A1 was increased by HBAC inhibitors. Also, in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, HDAC inhibitors, such as IN2001 and trichostatin A increased the basal activity of CYP1A1 promoter but TCDD stimulated CYP1A1 promoter activity was not changed by HDAC inhibitors. And, in stably-transfected Hepa Ⅰ cells with p1A1-Luc, HDAC inhibitors increased the basal promoter activity only Also, we have investigated the effects of HDAC inhibitors on the human breast and prostate cancer cells in terms of cell proliferation and apoptosis based on SRB assay. IN2001 as well as trichostatin A inhibited the MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, T47D, ZR75-1, PC3 cell growth dose-dependently. The growth inhibition of these cells with HDAC inhibitors was associated with profound morphological change, which suggests the HDAC inhibitors induced apoptosis of cells. The result of cell cycle analysis after 24h exposure of IN2001 showed G2/M cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 cells and apoptosis in T47D and MDA-MB-231 cells.

히스톤 탈 아세틸 효소(HDAC)와 인슐린유사성장인자(IGF-I)는 근육 관련 유전자들의 활성 및 발현을 조절하여 골격근의 성장 및 발달을 조절하지만 이들이 근신경계 발달 및 대사 기능에 중요한 역할을 담당하는 뇌신경성장인자(BDNF)의 발현에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 IGF-I과 HDAC의 억제제인 SAHA가 C2C12 골격근 세포에서 BDNF 발현에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 IGF-I은 농도와 시간 의존적으로 BDNF의 mRNA 및 단백질 발현을 감소시켰지만 HDAC을 억제하자 IGF-I에 의해 감소되었던 BDNF의 발현이 증가하는 경향을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 IGF-I은 BDNF의 발현을 억제하며, HDAC의 억제는 IGF-I에 의한 BDNF의 발현 억제를 감소시킬 수 있다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 인체백혈병세포 U937에서 HDAC 저해제에 의한 증식억제, 세포주기 교란 및 apoptosis 유도에 미치는 Bcl-2 유전자의 영향에 관하여 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 U937/vector 및 U937/Bcl-2 세포주를 대상으로 대표적인 HDAC 저해제인 TSA 및 Na-B 처리에 의한 세포 증식 및 생존율에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, TSA에 의한 U937 세포의 증식억제 및 생존율의 감소는 Bcl-2의 과발현에 의하여 차단되는 효과를 보였으나, Na-B는 U937/vector 및 U937/Bcl-2세포사이에 큰 변화를 보이지는 않았다. 세포주기 교란효과에서 Na-B는 TSA에 비하여 유의적인 차이를 보이지 못하였으며, 이는 TSA에 의한 apoptosis가 U937/Bcl-2 세포에서는 억제되었으나, Na-B에 의한 apoptosis는 Bcl-2의 과발현에 의하여 차단되지 못한 것과 연관성이 있는 결과였다. 또한 TSA에 의한 apoptosis 유발의 Bcl-2에 의한 차단 효과는 TSA에 의하여 활성화된 caspase의 활성 억제, Bcl-2 발현 자체의 완화 등 apoptosis 조절 인자들의 발현 및 활성 변화에 기인 된 것임을 알 수 있었다.
