PG - 489-96 LID - 10.1007/s00280-010-1501-z [doi] AB - PURPOSE: Epigenetic agents are among the newly targeted therapeutic strategies being studied with intense interest for patients with multiple myeloma. Here, we demonstrate the antitumor activity of a phenylbutyrate-based histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, (S)-HDAC42, and identify its possible targets in myeloma cells. METHODS: The antiproliferative effect of (S)-HDAC42 was compared with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) in three myeloma cell lines, IM-9, RPMI-8226, and U266. Flow cytometry and terminal transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay were used to demonstrate the induction of apoptosis by (S)-HDAC42. Moreover, the proposed mechanisms of action, such as modulation of Akt, NF-kappaB pathway, and cell cycle-related proteins, were investigated by western blotting. RESULTS: (S)-HDAC42 exhibited four- to sevenfold higher potency relative to SAHA in suppressing myeloma cell viabilities. The apoptotic effect induced by (S)-HDAC42 was through both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, as evidenced by increased cleavage of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. In addition to HDAC inhibition, (S)-HDAC42 also disturbed signaling pathways governing cell survival, including downregulating Akt phosphorylation and NF-kappaB signaling. The modulation of cell cycle-related proteins by (S)-HDAC42 suggested its inhibitory effect on cell cycle propagation. CONCLUSION: These data suggest the translational value of (S)-HDAC42 in developing new therapeutic strategies for myeloma, which warrants further investigations.
