Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer, which spontaneously regresses. This has led to a search for agents that mimic this process. We show that both natural and synthetic ligands of PPARγ (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ) inhibit the growth of neuroblastoma cells in vitro. The degree of PPAR activation was attenuated however in the presence of the retinoblastoma protein. Addition of trichostatin A, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, abolished retinoblastoma protein repression of PPAR activity. Moreover, enhanced growth inhibition was observed when neuroblastoma cells were treated with a PPARγ ligand and a histone deacetylase inhibitor, suggesting a combination therapy to treat neuroblastoma might prove more effective than using either agent alone.

Valproic acid (VPA) has been used for the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorders for more than 30 yr. Obesity and insulin resistance are common side effects of VPA treatment. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived protein that plays an important role in controlling insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. In this report, we examined the effects of VPA on adiponectin gene expression in C57BL/6J mice and in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. VPA treatment significantly decreased adiponectin protein and mRNA levels in both mice and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The adipocyte study showed that VPA inhibited adiponectin gene expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Repression of adiponectin expression by VPA occurred at the transcription level and correlated with inhibition of histone deacetylase activity. Therapeutic concentrations of VPA increased overall histone acetylation and increased adiponectin promoter-driven luciferase expression in fibroblasts, but decreased adiponectin promoter activity in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. VPA treatment decreased adipogenic transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α (C/EBPα) levels and binding of C/EBPα to the adiponectin promoter without altering the levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and steroid regulatory element binding protein-1. Furthermore, VPA did not suppress adiponectin gene expression in C/EBPα gene-deficient adipocytes that stably expressed exogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ2. Together, these results demonstrate that histone deacetylase inhibitor VPA suppresses adiponectin gene expression in mature adipocytes. The study also provides evidence that diminished C/EBPα protein level and decreased binding at the adiponectin promoter mediate the inhibitory effects of VPA on adiponectin gene transcription.
