Abstract
HDAC1 functions as an oncogene in multi-type cancers. This study aimed to investigate the roles of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in cervical cancer (CC). mRNA expression was determined using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein-protein complexes was analyzed using co-immunoprecipitation assay. The binding sites between NRF2 and NEU1 were confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8. Cell proliferation was measured using CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Cell migrative and invasive ability were determined using transwell assay. We found that HDAC1 was upregulated in CC patients and cells. Trichostatin A (TSA) treatment decreased the number of colonies and migrated and invaded cells. Moreover, HDAC1 interacted with NRF2 to downregulate NEU1 expression. NEU1 knockdown attenuated the effects of TSA and enhanced the aggressiveness of CC cells. In conclusion, HDAC1 functions as an oncogene in CC. Targeting HDAC1 may be an alternative strategy for CC.

Molecular mechanisms underlying the clinical efficacy of panobinostat involve Stochasticity of epigenetic signaling, sensitization to anticancer drugs, and induction of cellular cell death related to cellular stresses. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 164:114886. [PMID: 37224752 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Panobinostat, also known as Farydak®, LBH589, PNB, or panobinostat lactate, is a hydroxamic acid that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its anti-cancer properties. This orally bioavailable drug is classified as a non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (pan-HDACi) that inhibits class I, II, and IV HDACs at nanomolar levels due to its significant histone modifications and epigenetic mechanisms. A mismatch between histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and HDACs can negatively affect the regulation of the genes concerned, which in turn can contribute to tumorigenesis. Indeed, panobinostat inhibits HDACs, potentially leading to acetylated histone accumulation, re-establishing normal gene expression in cancer cells, and helping to drive multiple signaling pathways. These pathways include induction of histone acetylation and cytotoxicity for the majority of tested cancer cell lines, increased levels of p21 cell cycle proteins, enhanced amounts of pro-apoptotic factors (such as caspase-3/7 activity and cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)) associated with decreased levels of anti-apoptotic factors [B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and B-cell lymphoma-extra-large (Bcl-XL)], as well as regulation of immune response [upregulated programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFN-γR1) expression] and other events. The therapeutic outcome of panobinostat is therefore mediated by sub-pathways involving proteasome and/or aggresome degradation, endoplasmic reticulum, cell cycle arrest, promotion of extrinsic and intrinsic processes of apoptosis, tumor microenvironment remodeling, and angiogenesis inhibition. In this investigation, we aimed to pinpoint the precise molecular mechanism underlying panobinostat's HDAC inhibitory effect. A more thorough understanding of these mechanisms will greatly advance our knowledge of cancer cell aberrations and, as a result, provide an opportunity for the discovery of significant new therapeutic perspectives through cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDAC) represent promising epigenetic targets for several diseases including different cancer types. The HDAC inhibitors approved to date are pan-HDAC inhibitors and most show a poor selectivity profile, side effects, and in particular hydroxamic-acid-based inhibitors lack good pharmacokinetic profiles. Therefore, the development of isoform-selective non-hydroxamic acid HDAC inhibitors is a highly regarded field in medicinal chemistry. In this study, we analyzed different ligand-based and structure-based drug design techniques to predict the binding mode and inhibitory activity of recently developed alkylhydrazide HDAC inhibitors. Alkylhydrazides have recently attracted more attention as they have shown promising effects in various cancer cell lines. In this work, pharmacophore models and atom-based quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were generated and evaluated. The binding mode of the studied compounds was determined using molecular docking as well as molecular dynamics simulations and compared with known crystal structures. Calculated free energies of binding were also considered to generate QSAR models. The created models show a good explanation of in vitro data and were used to develop novel HDAC3 inhibitors.

Abstract
Many populations worldwide are suffering from central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease) and stroke. There is a shortage of effective drugs for most CNS diseases. As one of the regulatory mechanisms of epigenetics, the particular role and therapeutic benefits of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in the CNS have been extensively studied. In recent years, HDACs have attracted increasing attention as potential drug targets for CNS diseases. In this review, we summarize the recent applications of representative histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACis) in CNS diseases and discuss the challenges in developing HDACis with different structures and better blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, hoping to promote the development of more effective bioactive HDACis for the treatment of CNS diseases.

Abstract
The activation of the STAT signal after incubation with the HDAC inhibitor represents a key mechanism causing resistance to HDAC inhibitors in some solid tumor cells, while the FGFR inhibitor could downregulate the level of pSTAT3. Inspired by the therapeutic prospect of FGFR/HDAC dual inhibitors, we designed and synthesized a series of quinoxalinopyrazole hydroxamate derivatives as FGFR/HDAC dual inhibitors. Among them, compound 10e potently inhibited FGFR1-4 and HDAC1/2/6/8 and presented improved antiproliferative effects of tumor cells. Further studies indicated that 10e also downregulated the expression of pSTAT3, potentially overcoming resistance to HDAC inhibitors. What's more, 10e significantly inhibited the tumor growth in HCT116 and SNU-16 xenograft models with favorable pharmacokinetic profiles. Collectively, these results supported that 10e could be a new drug candidate for malignant tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combination therapy has been widely explored for oncolytic virus (OV), as it can be met with tumor resistance. The HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) panobinostat is a potent pan-deacetylase inhibitor which blocks multiple cancer-related pathways and reverses epigenetic events in cancer progression. METHODS In this study, oncolytic activity in vitro and antitumor therapeutic efficacy in vivo when combined with oHSV and panobinostat were investigated. RESULTS (1) Treatment with panobinostat enhanced oHSV propagation and cytotoxicity in human glioma A172 and squamous cell carcinoma SCC9 cells. (2) Combined treatment with oHSV and panobinostat enhanced virus replication mediated by the transcriptional downregulation of IFN-β- and IFN-responsive antiviral genes in human glioma A172 and squamous cell carcinoma SCC9 cells. (3) Panobinostat treatment induced upregulation of PD-L1 expression in both glioma and squamous cell carcinoma cells. (4) A significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy was shown in vivo for the murine glioma CT-2A and squamous cell carcinoma SCC7 models when treated with a combination of oHSV, including PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and HDAC inhibition. CONCLUSIONS Consequently, these data provide some new clues for the clinical development of combination therapy with OVs, epigenetic modifiers, and checkpoint blockades for glioma and squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is the most frequent subtype of uterine sarcoma that presents a poor prognosis, high rates of recurrence, and metastasis. Currently, the molecular mechanism of the origin and development of uLMS is unknown. Class I histone deacetylases (including HDAC1, 2, 3, and 8) are one of the major classes of the HDAC family and catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues in histones and cellular proteins. Class I HDACs exhibit distinct cellular and subcellular expression patterns and are involved in many biological processes and diseases through diverse signaling pathways. However, the link between class I HDACs and uLMS is still being determined. In this study, we assessed the expression panel of Class I HDACs in uLMS and characterized the role and mechanism of class I HDACs in the pathogenesis of uLMS. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that HDAC1, 2, and 3 are aberrantly upregulated in uLMS tissues compared to adjacent myometrium. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that the expression levels of HDAC 1, 2, and 3 exhibited a graded increase from normal and benign to malignant uterine tumor cells. Furthermore, inhibition of HDACs with Class I HDACs inhibitor (Tucidinostat) decreased the uLMS proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, gene set enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed that inhibition of HDACs with Tucidinostat altered several critical pathways. Moreover, multiple epigenetic analyses suggested that Tucidinostat may alter the transcriptome via reprogramming the oncogenic epigenome and inducing the changes in microRNA-target interaction in uLMS cells. In the parallel study, we also determined the effect of DL-sulforaphane on the uLMS. Our study demonstrated the relevance of class I HDACs proteins in the pathogenesis of malignant uLMS. Further understanding the role and mechanism of HDACs in uLMS may provide a promising and novel strategy for treating patients with this aggressive uterine cancer.

Abstract
As a primary cause of death in patients with hematological malignancies and transplant recipients, invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a condition that warrants attention. IA infections have been increasing, which remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. During the past decade, antifungal drug resistance has emerged, which is especially concerning for management given the limited options for treating azole-resistant infections and the possibility of failure of prophylaxis in those high-risk patients. Histone posttranslational modifications (HPTMs), mainly including acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination and phosphorylation, are crucial epigenetic mechanisms regulating various biological events, which could modify the conformation of histone and influence chromatin-associated nuclear processes to regulate development, cellular responsiveness, and biological phenotype without affecting the underlying genetic sequence. In recent years, fungi have become important model organisms for studying epigenetic regulation. HPTMs involves in growth and development, secondary metabolite biosynthesis and virulence in Aspergillus. This review mainly aims at summarizing the acetylation, deacetylation, methylation, demethylation, and sumoylation of histones in IA and connect this knowledge to possible HPTMs-based antifungal drugs. We hope this research could provide a reference for exploring new drug targets and developing low-toxic and high-efficiency antifungal strategies.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the anti-cancer activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC)-inhibiting CKD-581 in multiple myeloma (MM) and its pharmacological mechanisms. CKD-581 potently inhibited a broad spectrum of HDAC isozymes. It concentration-dependently inhibited proliferation of hematologic cancer cells including MM (MM.1S and RPMI8226) and T cell lymphoma (HH and MJ). It increased the expression of the dishevelled binding antagonist of β-catenin 3 (DACT3) in T cell lymphoma and MM cells, and decreased the expression of c-Myc and β-catenin in MM cells. Additionally, it enhanced phosphorylated p53, p21, cleaved caspase-3 and the subG1 population, and reversely, downregulated cyclin D1, CDK4 and the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family. Finally, administration of CKD-581 exerted a significant anti-cancer activity in MM.1S-implanted xenografts. Overall, CKD-581 shows anti-cancer activity via inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in hematologic malignancies. This finding is evidence of the therapeutic potential and rationale of CKD-581 for treatment of MM.

Abstract
In multiple myeloma, cells of the bone marrow microenvironment have a relevant responsibility in promoting the growth, survival, and drug resistance of multiple myeloma plasma cells. In addition to the well-recognized role of genetic lesions, microenvironmental cells also present deregulated epigenetic systems. However, the effect of epigenetic changes in reshaping the tumour microenvironment is still not well identified. An assortment of epigenetic regulators, comprising histone methyltransferases, histone acetyltransferases, and lysine demethylases, are altered in bone marrow microenvironmental cells in multiple myeloma subjects participating in disease progression and prognosis. Aberrant epigenetics affect numerous processes correlated with the tumour microenvironment, such as angiogenesis, bone homeostasis, and extracellular matrix remodelling. This review focuses on the interplay between epigenetic alterations of the tumour milieu and neoplastic cells, trying to decipher the crosstalk between these cells. We also evaluate the possibility of intervening specifically in modified signalling or counterbalancing epigenetic mechanisms.

Abstract
Class I histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key regulators of cell proliferation and they are frequently dysregulated in cancer cells. We report here the synthesis of a novel series of class-I selective HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) containing a 2-aminobenzamide moiety as a zinc-binding group connected with a central (piperazin-1-yl)pyrazine or (piperazin-1-yl)pyrimidine moiety. Some of the compounds were additionally substituted with an aromatic capping group. Compounds were tested in vitro against human HDAC1, 2, 3, and 8 enzymes and compared to reference class I HDACi (Entinostat (MS-275), Mocetinostat, CI994 and RGFP-966). The most promising compounds were found to be highly selective against HDAC1, 2 and 3 over the remaining HDAC subtypes from other classes. Molecular docking studies and MD simulations were performed to rationalize the in vitro data and to deduce a complete structure activity relationship (SAR) analysis of this novel series of class-I HDACi. The most potent compounds, including 19f, which blocks HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3, as well as the selective HDAC1/HDAC2 inhibitors 21a and 29b, were selected for further cellular testing against human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and erythroleukemic cancer (HEL) cells, taking into consideration their low toxicity against human embryonic HEK293 cells. We found that 19f is superior to the clinically tested class-I HDACi Entinostat (MS-275). Thus, 19f is a new and specific HDACi with the potential to eliminate blood cancer cells of various origins.

Identification of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network in Bladder Cancer by Bioinformatics Analysis. Int J Genomics 2021; 2021:9935986.

Abstract
In recent years, increasing evidence shows that circular RNA (circRNA) disorder is closely related to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. However, the regulatory functions of most circRNAs in bladder cancer (BCa) remain unclear. This study was aimed at exploring the molecular regulatory mechanism of circRNAs in BCa. We obtained four datasets of circRNA, microRNA (miRNA), and messenger (mRNA) expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas microarray databases and identified 434, 367, and 4799/4841 differentially expressed circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs, respectively. With these differentially expressed RNAs, we established a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA targeted interaction network. A total of 18, 24, and 51 central circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were identified, respectively. Among them, the top 10 mRNAs that had high connectivity with other circRNAs and miRNAs were regarded as hub genes. We detected the expression levels of these 10 mRNAs in 16 pairs of BCa tissues and adjacent normal tissues through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The differentially expressed mRNAs and central mRNAs were enriched in the processes and pathways that are associated with the growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of tumor cells. The outstanding genes (CDCA4, GATA6, LATS2, RHOB, ZBTB4, and ZFPM2) also interacted with numerous drugs, indicating their potency as biomarkers and drug targets. The findings of this study provide a deep understanding of the circRNA-related competitive endogenous RNA regulatory mechanism in BCa pathogenesis.

Targeting the methyltransferase SETD8 impairs tumor cell survival and overcomes drug resistance independently of p53 status in multiple myeloma. Clin Epigenetics 2021; 13:174.

Abstract
Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of plasma cells that largely remains incurable. The search for new therapeutic targets is therefore essential. In addition to a wide panel of genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations also appear as important players in the development of this cancer, thereby offering the possibility to reveal novel approaches and targets for effective therapeutic intervention. Results Here, we show that a higher expression of the lysine methyltransferase SETD8, which is responsible for the mono-methylation of histone H4 at lysine 20, is an adverse prognosis factor associated with a poor outcome in two cohorts of newly diagnosed patients. Primary malignant plasma cells are particularly addicted to the activity of this epigenetic enzyme. Indeed, the inhibition of SETD8 by the chemical compound UNC-0379 and the subsequent decrease in histone H4 methylation at lysine 20 are highly toxic in MM cells compared to normal cells from the bone marrow microenvironment. At the molecular level, RNA sequencing and functional studies revealed that SETD8 inhibition induces a mature non-proliferating plasma cell signature and, as observed in other cancers, triggers an activation of the tumor suppressor p53, which together cause an impairment of myeloma cell proliferation and survival. However, a deadly level of replicative stress was also observed in p53-deficient myeloma cells treated with UNC-0379, indicating that the cytotoxicity associated with SETD8 inhibition is not necessarily dependent on p53 activation. Consistent with this, UNC-0379 triggers a p53-independent nucleolar stress characterized by nucleolin delocalization and reduction of nucleolar RNA synthesis. Finally, we showed that SETD8 inhibition is strongly synergistic with melphalan and may overcome resistance to this alkylating agent widely used in MM treatment. Conclusions Altogether, our data indicate that the up-regulation of the epigenetic enzyme SETD8 is associated with a poor outcome and the deregulation of major signaling pathways in MM. Moreover, we provide evidences that myeloma cells are dependent on SETD8 activity and its pharmacological inhibition synergizes with melphalan, which could be beneficial to improve MM treatment in high-risk patients whatever their status for p53.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disorder that is characterized by irreversible and progressive destructions of joints, but its exact etiology remains mainly unknown. The occurrence and the progression of the disease entirely depend on environmental and genetic factors. In recent years, various epigenetic changes involving DNA methylation, histone modification, miRNA, X-chromosome inactivation, bromodomain, sirtuin, and many others were identified that were found to be linked to the activation and the aggressive phenotype in rheumatoid arthritis. Epigenetics is found to be one of the root causes, which brings changes in the heritable phenotype and is not determined by changes in the DNA sequences and understanding these epigenetic mechanisms and the pathogenesis of the disease can help in understanding the disease and various other possible ways for its control and/or prevention. The various epigenetic modification occurring are reversible and can be modulated by drugs, diet, and environmental factors. This article focuses on various epigenetic factors involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Further, various epigenetic therapies that might be successful in inhibiting these epigenetic modifications are summarized. Several therapeutic agents alter the epigenetic modifications occurring in various diseases and many of the epigenetic therapies are under pre-clinical and clinical trial. However, exploring these epigenetic prognostic biomarkers would give a broader perspective and provide more ideas and knowledge regarding the process and pathways through which the diseases occur, and also combining various therapeutic agents would show more beneficial and synergistic effects.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) add a layer of complexity to the proteome through the addition of biochemical moieties to specific residues of proteins, altering their structure, function and/or localization. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques are at the forefront of PTM analysis due to their ability to detect large numbers of modified proteins with a high level of sensitivity and specificity. The low stoichiometry of modified peptides means fractionation and enrichment techniques are often performed prior to MS to improve detection yields. Immuno-based techniques remain popular, with improvements in the quality of commercially available modification-specific antibodies facilitating the detection of modified proteins with high affinity. PTM-focused studies on blood cancers have provided information on altered cellular processes, including cell signaling, apoptosis and transcriptional regulation, that contribute to the malignant phenotype. Furthermore, the mechanism of action of many blood cancer therapies, such as kinase inhibitors, involves inhibiting or modulating protein modifications. Continued optimization of protocols and techniques for PTM analysis in blood cancer will undoubtedly lead to novel insights into mechanisms of malignant transformation, proliferation, and survival, in addition to the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This review discusses techniques used for PTM analysis and their applications in blood cancer research.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy is currently subject of intense scientific and clinical developments. In previous decade, therapists used natural immune system from the human body to treat several diseases. Although tumor immune disease is a big challenge, combinatorial therapeutic strategy has been succeeded to show the clinical significance. In this context, we discuss the HDAC6 and tumor immune diseases relationship. Also, we summarized the current state of knowledge that based on the combination treatments of the HDAC6 inhibitors (HDAC6is) with antitumor immunomodulatory agents. We observed that, the combination therapies slow down the tumor immune diseases by blocking the aggresome and proteasome pathway. The combination therapy was able to reduce M2 macrophage and increasing PD-L1 blockade sensitivity. Most importantly, multiple combinations of HDAC6is with other agents may consider as potential strategies to treat tumor immune diseases, by reducing the side effects and improve efficacy for the future clinical development.

Abstract
Although multiple myeloma (MM) patients benefit from standard bortezomib (BTZ) chemotherapy, they develop drug resistance, resulting in relapse. We investigated whether histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor A452 overcomes bortezomib resistance in MM. We show that HDAC6-selective inhibitor A452 significantly decreases the activation of BTZ-resistant markers, such as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), in acquired BTZ-resistant MM cells. Combination treatment of A452 and BTZ or carfilzomib (CFZ) synergistically reduces BTZ-resistant markers. Additionally, A452 synergizes with BTZ or CFZ to inhibit the activation of NF-κB and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), resulting in decreased expressions of low-molecular-mass polypeptide 2 (LMP2) and LMP7. Furthermore, combining A452 with BTZ or CFZ leads to synergistic cancer cell growth inhibition, viability decreases, and apoptosis induction in the BTZ-resistant MM cells. Overall, the synergistic effect of A452 with CFZ is more potent than that of A452 with BTZ in BTZ-resistant U266 cells. Thus, our findings reveal the HDAC6-selective inhibitor as a promising therapy for BTZ-chemoresistant MM.

Abstract
Drug-tolerant cells are mediators of acquired resistance. BIM-intron2 deletion polymorphism (BIM-del) is one of the mechanisms underlying the resistance to epidermal growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-mediated apoptosis that induces drug tolerance. Here, we investigated whether resminostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, circumvents BIM-del-associated apoptosis resistance. The human EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line PC-9 and its homozygous BIM-del-positive variant (PC-9 BIMi2- / -), established by editing with zinc finger nuclease, were used. In comparison with PC-9 cells, PC-9 BIMi2- / - cells were less sensitive to apoptosis mediated by EGFR-TKIs such as gefitinib and osimertinib. The combined use of resminostat and an EGFR-TKI preferentially induced the expression of the pro-apoptotic BIM transcript containing exon 4 rather than that containing exon 3, increased the level of pro-apoptotic BIM protein (BIMEL), and stimulated apoptosis in vitro. In a subcutaneous tumor model derived from PC-9 BIMi2- / - cells, gefitinib monotherapy decreased tumor size but retained residual lesions, indicative of the presence of tolerant cells in tumors. The combined use of resminostat and gefitinib increased BIMEL protein level and induced apoptosis, subsequently leading to the remarkable shrinkage of tumor. These findings suggest the potential of resminostat to circumvent tolerance to EGFR-TKIs associated with BIM deletion polymorphism. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 343-350, August, 2020.

[PMID: 33077264 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2020.112904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Despite the encouraging clinical progress of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer treatment, innovation and development of new effective anticancer candidates still represents a challenging endeavor. With 15 million death every year in 2030 according to the estimates, cancer has increased rising of an alarm as a real crisis for public health and health systems worldwide. Therefore, scientist began to introduce innovative solutions to control the cancer global health problem. One of the promising strategies in this issue is the multitarget or smart hybrids having two or more pharmacophores targeting cancer. These rationalized hybrid molecules have gained great interests in cancer treatment as they are capable to simultaneously inhibit more than cancer pathway or target without drug-drug interactions and with less side effects. A prime important example of these hybrids, the HDAC hybrid inhibitors or referred as multitargeting HDAC inhibitors. The ability of HDAC inhibitors to synergistically improve the efficacy of other anti-cancer drugs and moreover, the ease of HDAC inhibitors cap group modification prompt many medicinal chemists to innovate and develop new generation of HDAC hybrid inhibitors. Notably, and during this short period, there are four HDAC inhibitor hybrids have entered different phases of clinical trials for treatment of different types of blood and solid tumors, namely; CUDC-101, CUDC-907, Tinostamustine, and Domatinostat. This review shed light on the most recent hybrids of HDACIs with one or more other cancer target pharmacophore. The designed multitarget hybrids include topoisomerase inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, nitric oxide releasers, antiandrogens, FLT3 and JAC-2 inhibitors, PDE5-inhibitors, NAMPT-inhibitors, Protease inhibitors, BRD4-inhibitors and other targets. This review may help researchers in development and discovery of new horizons in cancer treatment.

Abstract
HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) play an essential role in various cellular processes, such as differentiation and transcriptional regulation of key genes and cytostatic factors, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis that facilitates the targeting of epigenome of eukaryotic cells. In the majority of cancers, only a handful of patients receive optimal benefit from chemotherapeutics. Additionally, there is emerging interest in the use of HDACi to modulate the effects of ionizing radiations. The use of HDACi with radiotherapy, with the goal of reaching dissimilar, often distinct pathways or multiple biological targets, with the expectation of synergistic effects, reduced toxicity and diminished intrinsic and acquired resistance, conveys an approach of increasing interest. In this review, the clinical potential of HDACi in combination with radiotherapy is described as an efficient synergy for cancer treatment will be overviewed.

Abstract
The treatment options in multiple myeloma (MM) has changed dramatically over the past decade with the development of novel agents such as proteasome inhibitors (PIs); bortezomib and immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs); thalidomide, and lenalidomide which revealed high efficacy and improvement of overall survival (OS) in MM patients. However, despite these progresses, most patients relapse and become eventually refractory to these therapies. Thus, the development of novel, targeted immunotherapies has been pursued aggressively. Recently, next-generation PIs; carfilzomib and ixazomib, IMiD; pomalidomide, histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDADi); panobinostat and monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs); and elotuzumab and daratumumab have emerged, and especially, combination of mAbs plus novel agents has led to dramatic improvements in the outcome of MM patients. The field of immune therapies has been accelerating in the treatment of hematological malignancies and has also taken center stage in MM. This review focuses on an overview of current status of novel MoAb therapy including bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody (BsAb), antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, in relapsed or refractory MM (RRMM). Lastly, investigational novel MoAb-based therapy to overcome immunotherapy resistance in MM is shown.

[PMID: 31439580 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-19-0516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2019] [Revised: 06/30/2019] [Accepted: 08/13/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study was to perform preclinical evaluation of a novel class I and IIb HDAC-selective inhibitor, purinostat mesylate, for the treatment of Ph+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Biochemical assays were used to test enzymatic activity inhibition of purinostat mesylate. Ph+ leukemic cell lines and patient cells were used to evaluate purinostat mesylate activity in vitro. BL-2 secondary transplantation Ph+ B-ALL mouse model was used to validate its efficacy, mechanism, and pharmacokinetics properties in vivo. BCR-ABL(T315I)-induced primary B-ALL mouse model and PDX mouse model derived from relapsed Ph+ B-ALL patient post TKI treatment were used to determine the antitumor effect of purinostat mesylate for refractory or relapsed Ph+ B-ALL. Long-term toxicity and hERG blockade assays were used to safety evaluation of purinostat mesylate. RESULTS Purinostat mesylate, a class I and IIb HDAC highly selective inhibitor, exhibited robust antitumor activity in hematologic cancers. Purinostat mesylate at low nanomolar concentration induced apoptosis, and downregulated BCR-ABL and c-MYC expression in Ph+ leukemia cell lines and primary Ph+ B-ALL cells from relapsed patients. Purinostat mesylate efficiently attenuated Ph+ B-ALL progression and significantly prolonged the survival both in BL-2 secondary transplantation model with clinical patient symptoms of Ph+ B-ALL, BCR-ABL(T315I)-induced primary B-ALL mouse model, and PDX model derived from patients with relapsed Ph+ B-ALL post TKI treatment. In addition, purinostat mesylate possesses favorable pharmacokinetics and low toxicity properties. CONCLUSIONS Purinostat mesylate provides a new therapeutic strategy for patients with Ph+ B-ALL, including those who relapse after TKI treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Management of multiple myeloma (MM) has improved over recent years. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data is becoming increasingly important, owing to improved survival outcomes. Areas covered: The authors performed an expert review of the literature to identify evidence-based data available on HRQoL in frontline and relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) patients. Expert opinion: De-novo patients should be informed that the HRQoL is expected to improve during first-line treatment with different degrees of possible deterioration during the first cycles. Achievement of a maximal response should be strongly considered, particularly in the frontline setting, but must also be balanced with tolerability, HRQoL, and patient preferences. The same degree of improvement in HRQoL cannot be expected during conventional relapse treatments, where patients should be prepared only for stabilization of HRQoL. However, focusing attention only on measures such as toxicity may provide just a partial view of overall treatment effectiveness. Nonetheless, the authors believe the added value of taking into consideration the patient's perspectives and the importance of patient-reported outcomes in the evaluation of treatment effects should be considered mandatory. The incorporation of quality of life assessment into clinical and research practice has the potential of improving treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Nonselective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have therapeutic effects, but exhibit dose‑limiting toxicities in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The present study investigated the interaction between the HDAC6 inhibitor, A452, and immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) on dexamethasone (Dex)‑sensitive and ‑resistant MM cells compared with the current clinically tested HDAC6 inhibitor, ACY‑1215. It was shown that the combination of the HDAC6‑selective inhibitor, A452, with either of the IMiDs tested (lenalidomide or pomalidomide) led to the synergistic inhibition of cell growth, a decrease in the viability of MM cells and in an increase in the levels of apoptosis. Furthermore, enhanced cell death was associated with the inactivation of AKT and extracellular signal‑regulated kinase (ERK)1/2. Of note, A452 in combination with IMiDs induced synergistic MM cytotoxicity without altering the expression of cereblon and thereby, the synergistic downregulation of IKAROS family zinc finger (IKZF)1/3, c‑Myc and interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4). Furthermore, combined treatment with A452 and IMiDs induced the synergistic upregulation of PD‑L1. More importantly, this combination treatment was effective in the Dex‑resistant MM cells. Overall, the findings of this study indicate that A452 is more effective as an anticancer agent than ACY‑1215. Taken together, these findings suggest that a combination of the HDAC6‑selective inhibitor, A452, and IMiDs may prove to be beneficial in the treatment of patients with MM.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with genetic alterations of BCL-2, KMT2B, and KMT6. FL is refractory to conventional chemotherapy and is still incurable in most patients. Thus, new drugs and/or novel combination treatment strategies are needed to further improve FL patient outcome. We investigated the efficacy of the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor A452 combined with a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib on NHL and the underlying mechanisms compared with the current clinically tested HDAC6 inhibitor ACY-1215. We first showed that FL is the most sensitive to HDAC6 inhibitor. We showed that combining A452 with ibrutinib led to the synergistic inhibition of cell growth and decreased viability of FL cells, as well as increased levels of apoptosis. Similar synergistic interactions occur in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and germinal center diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells (DLBCL). Enhanced cell death is associated with AKT and ERK1/2 inactivation and increased DNA damage (induction of γH2A.X and reduction of pChk1/2). In addition, A452 downregulates c-Myc, an effect significantly enhanced by ibruninib. Although ACY-1215 is less potent than A452, it displays synergism with ibrutinib. Overall, our results suggest that A452 is more effective as an anticancer agent than ACY-1215 in FL. These findings suggest that a combination of HDAC6-selective inhibitor and ibrutinib is a potent therapeutic strategy for NHL including FL.

Synergistic antitumour activity of HDAC inhibitor SAHA and EGFR inhibitor gefitinib in head and neck cancer: a key role for ΔNp63α. Br J Cancer 2019; 120:658-667.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression is associated with the development of head and neck cancer (HNC) and represents one of the main therapeutic targets for this disease. The use of EGFR inhibitors has limited efficacy due to their primary and acquired resistance, partially because of increased epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). The HDAC inhibitor SAHA has been shown to revert EMT in different tumours, including HNC. In this study, we investigated the cooperative role of SAHA and the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib in both HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNC cell lines. METHODS A panel of 12 HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNC cell lines were screened for cell viability upon treatment with SAHA, gefitinib and the combination of the two. Epithelial/mesenchymal marker expression, as well as activation of signalling pathway, were assessed upon SAHA treatment. ΔNp63α silencing with shRNA lentiviral particles was used to determine its role in cell proliferation, migration and TGFβ pathway activation. RESULTS We found that both SAHA and gefitinib have antitumour activity in both HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNC cell lines and that their combination has a synergistic effect in inhibiting cell growth. SAHA treatment reverts EMT and inhibits the expression of the transcription factor ΔNp63α. Suppression of ΔNp63α reduces EGFR protein levels and decreases cell proliferation and TGFβ-dependent migration in both HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNC cell lines. CONCLUSIONS Our results, by giving a clear molecular mechanism at the basis of the antitumour activity of SAHA in HNC cell lines, provide a rationale for the clinical evaluation of SAHA in combination with gefitinib in both HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNC patients. Further knowledge is key to devising additional lines of combinatorial treatment strategies for this disease.

Abstract
T-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of cancers with different pathogenesis and poor prognosis. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetic modifiers that modulate many key biological processes. In recent years, HDACs have been fully investigated for their roles and potential as drug targets in T-cell lymphomas. In this review, we have deciphered the modes of action of HDACs, HDAC inhibitors as single agents, and HDACs guided combination therapies in T-cell lymphomas. The overview of HDACs on the stage of T-cell lymphomas, and HDACs guided therapies both as single agents and combination regimens endow great opportunities for the cure of T-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are clinically validated epigenetic drug targets for cancer treatment. HDACs inhibitors (HDACis) have been successfully applied against a series of cancers. First-generation inhibitors are mainly pan-HDACis that target multiple isoforms which might lead to serious side effects. At present, the next-generation HDACis are mainly focused on being class- or isoform-selective which can provide improved risk–benefit profiles compared to non-selective inhibitors. Because of the rapid development in next-generation HDACis, it is necessary to have an updated and state-of-the-art overview. Here, we summarize the strategies and achievements of the selective HDACis. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are clinically validated epigenetic drug targets for cancer treatment.![]()

Fuchs O. Treatment of Lymphoid and Myeloid Malignancies by Immunomodulatory Drugs. Cardiovasc Hematol Disord Drug Targets 2019; 19:51-78.

Abstract
Thalidomide and its derivatives (lenalidomide, pomalidomide, avadomide, iberdomide hydrochoride, CC-885 and CC-90009) form the family of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs). Lenalidomide (CC5013, Revlimid®) was approved by the US FDA and the EMA for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) patients, low or intermediate-1 risk transfusion-dependent myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with chromosome 5q deletion [del(5q)] and relapsed and/or refractory mantle cell lymphoma following bortezomib. Lenalidomide has also been studied in clinical trials and has shown promising activity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Lenalidomide has anti-inflammatory effects and inhibits angiogenesis. Pomalidomide (CC4047, Imnovid® [EU], Pomalyst® [USA]) was approved for advanced MM insensitive to bortezomib and lenalidomide. Other IMiDs are in phases 1 and 2 of clinical trials. Cereblon (CRBN) seems to have an important role in IMiDs action in both lymphoid and myeloid hematological malignancies. Cereblon acts as the substrate receptor of a cullin-4 really interesting new gene (RING) E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4CRBN. This E3 ubiquitin ligase in the absence of lenalidomide ubiquitinates CRBN itself and the other components of CRL4CRBN complex. Presence of lenalidomide changes specificity of CRL4CRBN which ubiquitinates two transcription factors, IKZF1 (Ikaros) and IKZF3 (Aiolos), and casein kinase 1α (CK1α) and marks them for degradation in proteasomes. Both these transcription factors (IKZF1 and IKZF3) stimulate proliferation of MM cells and inhibit T cells. Low CRBN level was connected with insensitivity of MM cells to lenalidomide. Lenalidomide decreases expression of protein argonaute-2, which binds to cereblon. Argonaute-2 seems to be an important drug target against IMiDs resistance in MM cells. Lenalidomide decreases also basigin and monocarboxylate transporter 1 in MM cells. MM cells with low expression of Ikaros, Aiolos and basigin are more sensitive to lenalidomide treatment. The CK1α gene (CSNK1A1) is located on 5q32 in commonly deleted region (CDR) in del(5q) MDS. Inhibition of CK1α sensitizes del(5q) MDS cells to lenalidomide. CK1α mediates also survival of malignant plasma cells in MM. Though, inhibition of CK1α is a potential novel therapy not only in del(5q) MDS but also in MM. High level of full length CRBN mRNA in mononuclear cells of bone marrow and of peripheral blood seems to be necessary for successful therapy of del(5q) MDS with lenalidomide. While transfusion independence (TI) after lenalidomide treatment is more than 60% in MDS patients with del(5q), only 25% TI and substantially shorter duration of response with occurrence of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were achieved in lower risk MDS patients with normal karyotype treated with lenalidomide. Shortage of the biomarkers for lenalidomide response in these MDS patients is the main problem up to now.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common haematological malignancy. Almost all patients with MM eventually relapse, and most recommended treatment protocols for the patients with relapsed refractory MM comprise a combination of drugs with different mechanisms of action. Therefore novel drugs are in urgent need in clinic. Bcl-2 inhibitors and HDAC inhibitors were proved their anti-MM effect in clinic or under clinical trials, and they were further discovered to have synergistic interactions. In this study, a series of Bcl-2/HDAC dual-target inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Among them, compounds 7e-7g showed good inhibitory activities against HDAC6 and high binding affinities to Bcl-2 protein simultaneously. They also displayed good growth inhibitory activities against human MM cell line RPMI-8226, which proved their potential value for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to explore the impact of LBH589 alone or in combination with proteasome inhibitor bortezomib on multiple myeloma (MM) cell proliferation and its mechanism. Material/Methods MM cell line U266 and RRMM-BMMNC were treated with different concentrations of LBH589 alone or in combination with bortezomib. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Cell cycle and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein and mRNA level of related genes was determined by Western blotting and qRT-PCR respectively. Results U266 cell and RRMM-BMMNC proliferation were inhibited by different concentrations of LBH589 (0, 10, 20, and 50 nmol/L) alone or 50 nmol/L of LBH589 in combination with bortezomib (10 and 20 nmol/L) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. LBH589 significantly induced G0/G1phase arrest and apoptosis in RRMM-BMMNC in a dose-dependent manner. The effects were significantly higher in all combined groups than in single-agent groups (all P<0.05). The mRNA level of Caspase3 and APAF1 were up-regulated gradually, while TOSO gene expression in RRMM-BMMNC was down-regulated gradually in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, LBH589 significantly induced hyperacetylation of histone H4, the protein level of PARP notably increased, and the level of Bcl-X decreased. Conclusions LBH589 can inhibit MM cell growth, block the cell cycle, and induce cell apoptosis, which has an anti-resistant effect on multidrug-resistant cells. LBH589 in combination with bortezomib has a synergistic effect on myeloma cells; its mechanism and reversal of drug resistance mechanism is involved in multiple changes in gene expression.
