Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are in clinical development for several diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. HDACs 1 and 2 are among the targets of these inhibitors and are part of multisubunit protein complexes. HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) block the activity of HDACs by chelating a zinc molecule in their catalytic sites. It is not known if the inhibitors have any additional functional effects on the multisubunit HDAC complexes. Here, we find that suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), the first FDA-approved HDACi for cancer, causes the dissociation of the PHD-finger-containing ING2 subunit from the Sin3 deacetylase complex. Loss of ING2 disrupts the in vivo binding of the Sin3 complex to the p21 promoter, an important target gene for cell growth inhibition by SAHA. Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism by which HDAC inhibitors disrupt deacetylase function.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARG) fusions, which exhibits clinical features resembling acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), has been identified as a new subtype with poor clinical outcomes. The underlying mechanism of RARG-fusion leukemia remains poorly understood, and needs to be explored urgently to instruct developing effective therapeutic strategies. Here, using the most prevalent RARG fusion, CPSF6-RARG (CR), as a representative, we reveal that the CR fusion, enhances the expansion of myeloid progenitors, impairs their maturation and synergizes with RAS mutations to drive more aggressive myeloid malignancies.

Targeting the WDR5-MLL1 protein-protein interaction (PPI) is considered to be an effective approach for the treatment of MLL-rearranged leukemia. However, interfering with WDR5-MLL1 PPI reduces methylated H3K4 levels and induces a decline in acetylated H3 levels, which may contribute to the suboptimal cellular efficacy of WDR5 inhibitors. We observed that cotreatment with WDR5-MLL1 PPI and HDAC inhibitors augmented the antiproliferative effect in MV-4-11 cells.

Here, we use HDAC3 as a prototype HDAC to address this contradiction. We show that adult-onset cardiac-specific depletion of HDAC3 in mice causes cardiac hypertrophy and contractile dysfunction on a high-fat diet (HFD), excluding developmental disruption as a major reason for the contradiction.

Background: Radiotherapy is the primary treatment modality for most head and neck cancers (HNCs). Despite the addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy to enhance its tumoricidal effects, almost a third of HNC patients suffer from locoregional relapses. Salvage therapy options for such recurrences are limited and often suboptimal, partly owing to divergent tumor and microenvironmental factors underpinning radioresistance.

Background: B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF)-mutant microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes a distinct CRC subgroup, traditionally perceived as minimally responsive to standard therapies. Recent clinical attempts, such as BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) monotherapy and combining BRAFi with other inhibitors, have yielded unsatisfactory efficacy. This study aims to identify a novel therapeutic strategy for this challenging subgroup.
