[PMID: 38258065 PMCID: PMC10818982 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), by deacetylation of multiple substrates and association with interacting proteins, regulates many physiological processes that are involved in cancer development and invasiveness such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, motility, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and angiogenesis. Due to its ability to remove misfolded proteins, induce autophagy, and regulate unfolded protein response, HDAC6 plays a protective role in responses to stress and enables tumor cell survival. The scope of this review is to discuss the roles of HDCA6 and its implications for the therapy of colorectal cancer (CRC). As HDAC6 is overexpressed in CRC, correlates with poor disease prognosis, and is not essential for normal mammalian development, it represents a good therapeutic target. Selective inhibition of HDAC6 impairs growth and progression without inducing major adverse events in experimental animals. In CRC, HDAC6 inhibitors have shown the potential to reduce tumor progression and enhance the therapeutic effect of other drugs. As HDAC6 is involved in the regulation of immune responses, HDAC6 inhibitors have shown the potential to improve antitumor immunity by increasing the immunogenicity of tumor cells, augmenting immune cell activity, and alleviating immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, HDAC6 inhibitors may represent promising candidates to improve the effect of and overcome resistance to immunotherapy.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues in histone or non-histone substrates, leading to the regulation of many biological functions, such as gene transcription, translation and remodeling chromatin. Targeting HDACs for drug development is a promising way for human diseases, including cancers and heart diseases. In particular, numerous HDAC inhibitors have revealed potential clinical value for the treatment of cardiac diseases in recent years. In this review, we systematically summarize the therapeutic roles of HDAC inhibitors with different chemotypes on heart diseases. Additionally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges in developing HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Ricolinostat has been found to exhibit anticancer effects alone and in combination with various chemotherapeutic drugs in several cancer types. However, to the best of our knowledge, the efficacy of ricolinostat in cervical cancer is still not investigated. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effect of ricolinostat in cervical cancer alone and in combination with topoisomerase inhibitors. The effect of ricolinostat on cervical cancer cells was assessed using MTT, cell-cycle arrest, Annexin V/PI staining assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) measurement, and western blot analysis. The antiproliferative effect of ricolinostat in combination with topoisomerase inhibitors was assessed using the MTT assay and synergism was computed using "CompuSyn" software. We found that ricolinostat inhibited proliferation, and induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in cervical cancer cells. We further found that ricolinostat treatment resulted in increased ROS production, decreased Bcl-xL expression, and induced p21 expression. We also investigated the effect of ricolinostat in combination with topotecan and etoposide in cervical cancer cells. Ricolinostat was found to significantly enhance the antiproliferative activity of both, topotecan and etoposide, in cervical cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In conclusion, our study showed that ricolinostat suppressed proliferation by inducing G2/M phase arrest and promoted apoptosis in cervical cancer cells, indicating that ricolinostat may be a promising antitumor agent in cervical cancer. Also, ricolinostat and topotecan/etoposide combination are synergistic in cervical cancer cells.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological tumor marked by the bcr-abl fusion gene formed by t (9;22) (q34; q11), which translated into the BCR-ABL protein. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been widely used to cure CML patients. Nevertheless, the emergence of TKI resistance has become the problem to the outcome of CML patients. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a kind of Hsp90α deacetylase, was detected to be overexpressed in chronic myeloid leukemia stem cells. Besides, the loss of HDAC6 enzymatic activity can result in the degradation of Hsp90α's client proteins, such as BCR-ABL, the oncoprotein of CML. Here, we explored the expression of HDAC6 and discovered that it was upregulated compared with control in CML. Then we explored the effect of Rocilinostat (ACY-1215), a specific HDAC6 inhibitor, on CML cells. Our results proved that ACY-1215 could induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in a ROS-dependent manner. Moreover, we detected a downregulation of the BCR-ABL signaling pathway in the ACY-1215 treatment group. Mechanistically, we noted that the upregulation of PTEN was induced after being treated by ACY-1215 and its downstream protein p-Akt was decreased. The Akt activator SC79 can partially reverse the influence of ACY-1215 on CML cells. Besides, our results also proved that ACY-1215 can synergize with imatinib to suppress chronic myeloid leukemia in vitro and in vivo. On the whole, our study revealed that HDAC6 is a possible therapeutic target in CML, and the combination therapy of TKI and HDAC6 inhibitor may improve the outcome of CML patients.

Abstract
The deacetylation process regulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) plays an important role in human health and diseases. HDAC6 belongs to the Class IIb of HDACs family, which mainly modifies non-histone proteins located in the cytoplasm. HDAC6 plays a key role in tumors, neurological diseases, and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, targeting HDAC6 has become a promising treatment strategy in recent years. ACY-1215 is the first orally available highly selective HDAC6 inhibitor, and its efficacy and therapeutic effects are being continuously verified. This review summarizes the research progress of ACY-1215 in cancer and other human diseases, as well as the underlying mechanism, in order to guide the future clinical trials of ACY-1215 and more in-depth mechanism researches.

Abstract
Metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) is characterized by poor patient survival. Unfortunately, current treatment options demonstrate limited benefits. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of ACY-1215, a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), to attenuate growth of primary ocular UM cell lines and, in particular, a liver MUM cell line in vitro and in vivo, and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. A significant (p = 0.0001) dose-dependent reduction in surviving clones of the primary ocular UM cells, Mel270, was observed upon treatment with increasing doses of ACY-1215. Treatment of OMM2.5 MUM cells with ACY-1215 resulted in a significant (p = 0.0001), dose-dependent reduction in cell survival and proliferation in vitro, and in vivo attenuation of primary OMM2.5 xenografts in zebrafish larvae. Furthermore, flow cytometry revealed that ACY-1215 significantly arrested the OMM2.5 cell cycle in S phase (p = 0.0001) following 24 h of treatment, and significant apoptosis was triggered in a time- and dose-dependent manner (p < 0.0001). Additionally, ACY-1215 treatment resulted in a significant reduction in OMM2.5 p-ERK expression levels. Through proteome profiling, the attenuation of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) signaling pathway was linked to the observed anti-cancer effects of ACY-1215. In agreement, pharmacological inhibition of MITF signaling with ML329 significantly reduced OMM2.5 cell survival and viability in vitro (p = 0.0001) and reduced OMM2.5 cells in vivo (p = 0.0006). Our findings provide evidence that ACY-1215 and ML329 are efficacious against growth and survival of OMM2.5 MUM cells.

Abstract
Worldwide, cancer is the second leading cause of mortality after cardiovascular diseases. Among the numerous malignant tumors in human, digestive system cancers are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Acetylation and deacetylation are crucially involved in cancer occurrence and development; in addition, the deacetylation process is regulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs). Among the 18 human HDACs that have been reported, HDAC6 has been widely studied. There is upregulated HDAC6 expression in numerous types of tumor tissues and is closely associated with clinicopathological characteristics. Moreover, several HDAC6 inhibitors have been identified; furthermore, there has been extensive research on their ability to inhibit the growth of many tumors. This review summarizes the roles of HDAC6 in different primary digestive system malignancies.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite significant progress that has been made in therapies against CRC over the past decades, drug resistance is still a major limitation in CRC treatment. Numerous investigations have unequivocally shown that epigenetic regulation plays an important role in CRC drug resistance because of the high rate of epigenetic alterations in multiple genes during cancer development or drug treatment. Furthermore, the reversibility of epigenetic alterations provides novel therapeutic strategies to overcome drug resistance using small molecules, which can target non-coding RNAs or reverse histone modification and DNA methylation. In this review, we discuss epigenetic regulation in CRC drug resistance and the possible role of preventing or reversing CRC drug resistance using epigenetic therapy in CRC treatment.

Silencing of Histone Deacetylase 6 Decreases Cellular Malignancy and Contributes to Primary Cilium Restoration, Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Reversion, and Autophagy Inhibition in Glioblastoma Cell Lines. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10060467.

Abstract
Simple Summary Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common as well as the most aggressive malignant brain tumor, with an overall survival of almost 15 months. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), an enzyme related to the deacetylation of α-tubulin, is overexpressed in GBM. The aim of our research was to study the effects of HDAC6 silencing in GBM cells. We first confirmed the overexpression of HDAC6 in GBM tissue (n = 40) against control brain (n = 10). Treatment with siHDAC6 diminished viability, clonogenic potential, and migration ability in GBM-derived cell lines. HDAC6 inhibition also reverted the mesenchymal phenotype, inhibited the Sonic Hedgehog pathway, restored primary cilium structure, and decreased autophagy. Thus, we confirm that HDAC6 is a good therapeutic target for GBM treatment. Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme, the most common type of malignant brain tumor as well as the most aggressive one, lacks an effective therapy. Glioblastoma presents overexpression of mesenchymal markers Snail, Slug, and N-Cadherin and of the autophagic marker p62. Glioblastoma cell lines also present increased autophagy, overexpression of mesenchymal markers, Shh pathway activation, and lack of primary cilia. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of HDAC6 in the pathogenesis of glioblastoma, as HDAC6 is the most overexpressed of all HDACs isoforms in this tumor. We treated glioblastoma cell lines with siHDAC6. HDAC6 silencing inhibited proliferation, migration, and clonogenicity of glioblastoma cell lines. They also reversed the mesenchymal phenotype, decreased autophagy, inhibited Shh pathway, and recovered the expression of primary cilia in glioblastoma cell lines. These results demonstrate that HDAC6 might be a good target for glioblastoma treatment.

Abstract
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is among the mostly administrated chemotherapeutic agents for a wide variety of neoplasms. Non-coding RNAs have a central impact on the determination of the response of patients to 5-FU. These transcripts via modulation of cancer-related pathways, cell apoptosis, autophagy, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and other aspects of cell behavior can affect cell response to 5-FU. Modulation of expression levels of microRNAs or long non-coding RNAs may be a suitable approach to sensitize tumor cells to 5-FU treatment via modulating multiple biological signaling pathways such as Hippo/YAP, Wnt/β-catenin, Hedgehog, NF-kB, and Notch cascades. Moreover, there is an increasing interest in targeting these transcripts in various kinds of cancers that are treated by 5-FU. In the present article, we provide a review of the function of non-coding transcripts in the modulation of response of neoplastic cells to 5-FU.

Abstract
As an anti-tumor agent, histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors have attracted wide attention. ACY1215 is a highly effective selective inhibitor of HDAC6, which can inhibit many kinds of tumors. Whether the expression of HDAC6 and its new inhibitor ACY1215 can inhibit the proliferation of gallbladder cancer cells and induce their apoptosis remains to be further studied. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of ACY1215 on the gallbladder cancer cells. Cell proliferation of GBC-SD and SGC-996 was assessed by cell counting kit-8 assay and colony formation assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of gallbladder cancer cells. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of PCNA,KI67, and apoptosis-related proteins of gallbladder cancer cells. The HDAC6 inhibitor ACY1215 suppressed the proliferation of GBC-SD and SDC-996 cells and promoted the apoptosis of gallbladder cancer cells. The HDAC6 inhibitor ACY1215 increases the chemotherapy effect of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin. ACY1215 could suppress cell proliferation and induce apoptosis of GBC-SD and SGC-996, and increased the chemotherapy effect of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, which provides a rationale for the combination of HDAC6 selective inhibitors with other anticancer agents in treating gallbladder cancer.

Lin A, Giuliano CJ, Palladino A, John KM, Abramowicz C, Yuan ML, Sausville EL, Lukow DA, Liu L, Chait AR, Galluzzo ZC, Tucker C, Sheltzer JM. Off-target toxicity is a common mechanism of action of cancer drugs undergoing clinical trials. Sci Transl Med 2020; 11:11/509/eaaw8412. [PMID: 31511426 DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.aaw8412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 345] [Impact Index Per Article: 86.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2019] [Revised: 06/19/2019] [Accepted: 08/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Ninety-seven percent of drug-indication pairs that are tested in clinical trials in oncology never advance to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. While lack of efficacy and dose-limiting toxicities are the most common causes of trial failure, the reason(s) why so many new drugs encounter these problems is not well understood. Using CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis, we investigated a set of cancer drugs and drug targets in various stages of clinical testing. We show that-contrary to previous reports obtained predominantly with RNA interference and small-molecule inhibitors-the proteins ostensibly targeted by these drugs are nonessential for cancer cell proliferation. Moreover, the efficacy of each drug that we tested was unaffected by the loss of its putative target, indicating that these compounds kill cells via off-target effects. By applying a genetic target-deconvolution strategy, we found that the mischaracterized anticancer agent OTS964 is actually a potent inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK11 and that multiple cancer types are addicted to CDK11 expression. We suggest that stringent genetic validation of the mechanism of action of cancer drugs in the preclinical setting may decrease the number of therapies tested in human patients that fail to provide any clinical benefit.

Abstract
Epigenetic factors play a critical role in carcinogenesis by imparting a distinct feature to the chromatin architecture. The present study aimed to develop a novel epigenetic signature for evaluating the relapse-free survival of colon cancer patients. Public microarray datasets were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus databases: GSE39582, GSE17538, GSE33113, and GSE37892 set. Patients from GSE39582 set were randomized 1:1 into training and internal validation series. Patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups in training series based on a set of 11 epigenetic factors (p < .001). The good reproducibility for the prognostic value of the epigenetic signature was confirmed in the internal validation series (p < .001), external validation series (a combination of GSE17538 set, GSE33113 set, and GSE37892 set; p = .018), and entire series (p < .001). Furthermore, a nomogram, which integrated the epigenetic signature, pathological stage, and postoperative chemotherapy, was developed based on the GSE39582 set. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve at 1 year demonstrated that the comprehensive signature presented superior prognostic value than the pathological stage. In conclusion, an epigenetic signature, which could be utilized to divide colon cancer patients into two groups with significantly different risk of relapse, was established. This biomarker would aid in identifying patients who require an intensive follow-up and aggressive therapeutic intervention.

Investigating the potential effects of selective histone deacetylase 6 inhibitor ACY1215 on infarct size in rats with cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. BMC Pharmacol Toxicol 2020; 21:21. [PMID: 32178737 PMCID: PMC7077123 DOI: 10.1186/s40360-020-0400-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2019] [Accepted: 02/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the fact that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been tested to treat various cardiovascular diseases, the effects of selective HDAC6 inhibitor ACY1215 on infarct size during cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury still remain unknown. In the present study we aimed to investigate the effects of ACY1215 on infarct size in rats with cardiac IR injury, as well as to examine the association between HDAC6 inhibitors and the gene expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a key regulator of cellular responses to hypoxia. METHODS By using computational analysis of high-throughput expression profiling dataset, the association between HDAC inhibitors (pan-HDAC inhibitors panobinostat and vorinostat, and HDAC6 inhibitor ISOX) and their effects on HIF-1α gene-expression were evaluated. The male Wistar rats treated with ligation of left coronary artery followed by reperfusion were used as a cardiac IR model. ACY1215 (50 mg/kg), pan-HDAC inhibitor MPT0E028 (25 mg/kg), and vehicle were intraperitoneally injected within 5 min before reperfusion. The infarct size in rat myocardium was determined by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The serum levels of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were also determined. RESULTS The high-throughput gene expression assay showed that treatment of ISOX was associated with a more decreased gene expression of HIF-1α than that of panobinostat and vorinostat. Compared to control rats, ACY1215-treated rats had a smaller infarct size (49.75 ± 9.36% vs. 19.22 ± 1.70%, p < 0.05), while MPT0E028-treated rats had a similar infarct size to control rats. ACY-1215- and MPT0E028-treated rats had a trend in decreased serum TGF-β levels, but not statistically significant. ACY1215-treated rats also had higher serum CRP levels compared to control rats (641.6 μg/mL vs. 961.37 ± 64.94 μg/mL, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our research indicated that HDAC6 inhibition by ACY1215 might reduce infarct size in rats with cardiac IR injury possibly through modulating HIF-1α expression. TGF-β and CRP should be useful biomarkers to monitor the use of ACY1215 in cardiac IR injury.

Abstract
SET7 is the first lysine methyltransferase and plays vital roles in tumorigenesis. This study aims to seek clinical value of SET7 in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, along with its biological impact on cell proliferation and migration. In patients with CRC, the expression of SET7 in cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissue, and down-regulated SET7 was closely correlated with poor prognosis. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function studies indicated that SET7 inhibited cell proliferation and migration by acting on HDAC6 substrate in colon cancer cells. Besides, the co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that SET7 and HDAC6 can interact reciprocally. The interaction effect between SET7 and HDAC6 could significantly reduce cell viability, scratch healing rate, and migrated cells in colon cancer cells. Instead of acting on each endogenous expression, the results demonstrated that the level of acetylated α-tubulin was greatly decreased in HDAC6 overexpression group, while significantly increased in SET7 overexpressed group. However, changes were partly restored in both SET7 and HDAC6-transfected group. On the contrary, the expression of acetylated α-tubulin protein was significantly increased in HDAC6 knockdown group, but higher in both HDAC6 and SET7 silencing group. These results indicated that SET7 played a role in tumor suppression via increasing levels of acetylated-α-tubulin mediated by HDAC6. In addition, the interaction effect significantly decreased the ratios of p-ERK/ERK, which indicated that it may partly suppress ERK signaling pathway. In conclusion, SET7 is a promising therapeutic target for preventing metastasis and improving prognosis in colon cancer.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been implicated in regulating complex cellular mechanisms to influence tumor biology and immunogenicity in various types of cancer. The potential of selective inhibition of HDAC6 has been widely discussed for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. We previously identified that MPT0G612 is a novel HDAC6 inhibitor exhibiting a promising antitumor activity against several solid tumors. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and pharmacological mechanisms of MPT0G612 as a potential therapy for CRC patients. Results revealed that MPT0G612 significantly suppresses the proliferation and viability, as well as induces apoptosis in CRC cells. Autophagy activation with LC3B-II formation and p62 degradation was observed, and the inhibition of autophagy by pharmacological inhibitor or Atg5 knockdown enhances MPT0G612-induced cell death. In addition, HDAC6 knockdown reduces MPT0G612-mediated autophagy and further potentiates apoptotic cell death. Furthermore, MPT0G612 downregulates the expression of PD-L1 induced by IFN-γ in CRC cells. These results suggest that MPT0G612 is a potent cell death inducer through inhibiting HDAC6-associated pathway, and a potential agent for combination strategy with immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of CRC.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the expression of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in colon cancer and its role in colon cancer cell growth and migration. Materials and methods: We detected the expression of HDAC6 in a colon cancer tissue chip using immunochemical staining, and analyzed the difference in HDAC6 expression between cancer and adjacent noncancerous tissues. Then, we explored the relationship between HDAC6 expression and patients’ clinicopathological characteristics and prognoses. In adidition, the role of HDAC6 in colon cancer cell growth and migration, as well as its potential related signal pathway, through HDAC6 knockdown was explored. Results: The immunochemical score of HDAC6 expression was higher in cancer tissue than in the adjacent noncancerous tissue (4.54 vs 3.08, P<0.005); similarly, as well as the rate of high HDAC6 expression was higher in cancer tissue than in the adjacent noncancerous tissue (71.1% vs 40.9%, P<0.001). Patients showing high HDAC6 expression had a shorter overall survival time. Additionally, Cox regression analysis showed that high HDAC6 expression was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis. HDAC6 knockdown decreased cell viability, colony formation, and number of migrated colon cancer cells (HCT116 and HT29); the expression of p-MEK, p-ERK, and p-AKT was also decreased, but had no influence on MEK, ERK, and AKT expression. Conclusion: HDAC6 is highly expressed in colon cancer and associated with a poor prognosis. HDAC6 knockdown inhibits colon cancer cell growth and migration, partly through the MAPK/ERK pathway.

Abstract
In epigenetics, histone deacetylases (HDACs) are well validated targets for the development of anticancer drugs. In this work, we reported the design and synthesis of a series of twenty two novel (E)-N-hydroxycinnamamide-based HDAC inhibitors with 4-aminopiperidine1-carboxamide as the core structure. Most newly synthesized compounds displayed high inhibition rates toward HDAC at the concentration of 1 μM. Among them, the inhibition rates of compounds LYP-2, LYP-3, LYP-6, and LYP-15 were more than 75%. Furthermore, compounds LYP-2, LYP-3, and LYP-6 potently inhibited the activity of HDAC6 with selectivity over HDAC1. We chose LYP-2 and LYP-6 to test its antiproliferative effect on breast cancer cells MCF-7. Either LYP-2 or LYP-6 alone moderately suppressed the cell growth, but could synergistically enhance the inhibitory effect of bortezomib. These results suggested that combined HDAC6 inhibitor and bortezomib regimen might be an option for breast cancer treatment.
