There has been significant interest in the bioactivity of the natural product psammaplin A, most recently as a potent and isoform selective HDAC inhibitor. Here we report our preliminary studies on thioester HDAC inhibitors derived from the active monomeric (thiol) form of psammaplin A, as a means to improve compound delivery into cells. We have discovered that such compounds exhibit both potent cytotoxicity and enzymatic inhibitory activity against recombinant HDAC1. The latter effect is surprising since previous SAR suggested that modification of the thiol functionality should detrimentally affect HDAC potency. We therefore also report our preliminary studies on the mechanism of action of this observed effect.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) are a class of prominent epigenetic drugs that are currently being tested in hundreds of clinical trials against a variety of diseases. A few compounds have already been approved for treating lymphoma or myeloma. HDIs bind to the zinc-containing catalytic domain of the histone deacetylase (HDACs) and they repress the deacetylase enzymatic activity. The broad therapeutic effect of HDIs with seemingly low toxicity is somewhat puzzling when considering that most HDIs lack strict specificity toward any individual HDAC and, even if they do, each individual HDAC has diverse functions under different physiology scenarios. Here, we review recent mechanistic studies using omics approaches, including epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and chemoproteomics, methods. These omics studies provide non-biased insights into the mechanism of action for HDIs.

Histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) are potential targets for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, but it is challenging to design isoform-selective agents. In this work, we created new analogs of two established but non-selective HDAC inhibitors. We decorated the central linker chains of the molecules with specifically positioned fluorine atoms in order to control the molecular conformations. The fluorinated analogs were screened against a panel of 11 HDAC isoforms, and minor differences in isoform selectivity patterns were observed.

Current systemic therapies have little curative benefit for synovial sarcoma. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor 17-AAG have recently been shown to inhibit synovial sarcoma in preclinical models. We tested combinations of 17-AAG with the HDAC inhibitor MS-275 for synergism by proliferation and apoptosis assays. The combination was found to be synergistic at multiple time points in two synovial sarcoma cell lines. Previous studies have shown that HDAC inhibitors not only induce cell death but also activate the survival pathway NF-κB, potentially limiting therapeutic benefit. As 17-AAG inhibits activators of NF-κB, we tested if 17-AAG synergizes with MS-275 through abrogating NF-κB activation. In our assays, adding 17-AAG blocks NF-κB activation by MS-275 and siRNA directed against histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) recapitulates the effects of MS-275. Additionally, we find that the NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7085 synergizes with MS-275. We conclude that agents inhibiting NF-κB synergize with HDAC inhibitors against synovial sarcoma.

Aim: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is an attractive target for antitumor therapy. Therefore, the development of novel HDAC inhibitors is warranted. Materials & methods: A series of HDAC inhibitors based on N-hydroxycinnamamide fragment was designed as the clinically used belinostat analog using amide as the connecting unit. All target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro HDAC inhibitory activities and some selected compounds were tested for their antiproliferative activities. Conclusion: Among them, compound 7e showed an IC50 value of 11.5 nM in inhibiting the HDAC in a pan-HDAC assay, being the most active compound of the series.

Abstract Despite the promising antilymphoma activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors as a drug class, resistance is a significant clinical issue. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms driving HDAC inhibitor resistance and/or the specific targets that are altered in drug-resistant cells may facilitate the development of strategies that overcome drug resistance and are more effective for refractory patients. We generated novel T-cell lymphoma (TCL) cell line models of acquired resistance to the HDAC inhibitor belinostat to identify potential effective therapies. Belinostat-resistant cells displayed significant cross-resistance to other HDAC inhibitors including romidepsin, panobinostat, and vorinostat. Consistent with a lack of sensitivity to HDAC inhibitors, the resistant cells failed to induce increased acetylated histones. Drug-resistant cells featured significantly decreased expression of the key antiviral mediators IRF1 and STAT1. On the basis of these findings, we investigated the efficacy of the clinical formulation of reovirus (Reolysin) in parental and drug-resistant models. Our investigation revealed that HDAC inhibitor–resistant cells displayed enhanced vulnerability to reovirus replication and cell death in both in vitro and in vivo models compared with their parental counterparts. Importantly, Reolysin also significantly increased the antilymphoma activity of belinostat in HDAC inhibitor–resistant cells. Our data demonstrate that Reolysin alone or in combination with belinostat is a novel therapeutic strategy to treat TCL patients who develop resistance to HDAC inhibitors.

ABSTRACT Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are promising antitumor agents, but they have not been extensively explored in B-cell lymphomas. Many of these lymphomas have the t(14;18) translocation, which results in increased bcl-2 expression and resistance to apoptosis. In this study, we examined the effects of two structurally different HDAC inhibitors, trichostatin A (TSA) and sodium butyrate (NaB), on the cell cycle, apoptosis, and bcl-2 expression in t(14;18) lymphoma cells. We found that in addition to potent cell cycle arrest, TSA and NaB also dramatically induced apoptosis and down-regulated bcl-2 expression, and overexpression of bcl-2 inhibited TSA-induced apoptosis. The repression of bcl-2 by TSA occurred at the transcriptional level. Western blot analysis and quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay showed that even though HDAC inhibitors increased overall acetylation of histones, localized histone H3 deacetylation occurred at both bcl-2 promoters. TSA treatment increased the acetylation of the transcription factors Sp1 and C/EBPα and decreased their binding as well as the binding of CBP and HDAC2 to the bcl-2 promoters. Mutation of Sp1 and C/EBPα binding sites reduced the TSA-induced repression of bcl-2 promoter activity. This study provides a mechanistic rationale for the use of HDAC inhibitors in the treatment of human t(14;18) lymphomas.
