Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) has been demonstrated to be effective for the patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and multiple myeloma (MM). To elucidate the mechanisms of acquired resistance against HDACI in these tumors, we established various vorinostat-resistant cell lines. Comparison between these resistant and their parental cell lines has shown the following differences. Pan-HDAC activity was generally low in HDACI-resistant cells, but reduced HDAC3 activity was commonly shared in HDACI-resistant cell lines. Reduced expression of HDAC3 by shRNA decreases the sensitivity to HDACI, whereas that of other HDACs do not. Neither genetic mutation nor promoter methylation exists in HDAC3 gene in HDACI-resistant cells. Thus, reduced expression of HDAC3 is responsible for the acquired resistance against HDACI in part, although the underlying mechanism remains to be clarified.
