ABSTRACT
Histone modification is an important mechanism in oncogenesis and development of hematologic malignancies. Acetylation of lysine residues on histones and opening chromatin are correlated with activation of genes, whereas lysine residues methylation can result in either activation or repression on expressions of chromatin. The main point of all is deacetylation of histone mediated by histone deacetylases (HDACs). HDAC inhibitors are divided into 4 categories short-chain fatty acids, hydroxamic acids, cyclic tetrapeptides and benzamides, owning different mechanisms in HDAC inhibition. Many kinds of I/II phase clinical tests showed that all these HDAC inhibitors have obviously therapeutic efficacies in treatment of hematologic malignancies with low poisons. Combination of HDAC inhibitors with DNA demethylation drugs can decrease DNA methylation, increase histone acetylation and recover antioncogene expression. As important parts of epigenetics, histone acetylation and HDAC inhibitors possess positive prospects in treatment of hematologic malignancies. In this review the advances of study on mechanisms of histone modification, HDAC inhibitors and their use in treatment of hematologic malignancies are summarized.
