SAHA affects cell cycle of MCF-7 breast cancer cells byregulating acetylated levels of p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To study the regulation mechanisms of deacetylase inhibitor SAHA in p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter acetylation in breast cancer MCF-7 cells.Methods We used quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot and DNA-ChIP to determine the effects on the regulation of cell cycle with SAHA treatment in MCF-7 cells.By DNA-ChIP, we assessed the acetylation level of p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter.Results SAHA significantly affected the expression of cell cycle-related factors, and induced the mRNA and protein expression of p21WAF1/CIP1.SAHA could adjust the acetylation level of p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter.Conclusion SAHA regulates the cell cycle progression by adjusting the acetylation level of p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter in MCF-7 cells.
