Increased expression of genes associated with the cell cycle, increasing proliferation, by overpassing the G1-S checkpoint, either by increasing CDK-2 and -4[12], or by inhibiting p21 protein that arrests cell cycle[13]. |
Inhibition of both the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways[15]. |
Acyl group removal from other non-histone proteins, like transcription factors and regulatory proteins, indirectly affecting cellular proliferation[8]. |
Increased macropinocytosis, a process closely related to cellular migration and increased metastatic potential[19]. |
Increased chemotherapy resistance in tumor cells[21]. |
Protection from cellular damage caused by ROS[22]. |
Inhibition of angiogenesis by decreasing VEGF and HIF-1α[22]. |
Reduction of E-cadherin and increased vimentin expression, increasing metastatic potential[12]. |
Increased HSP function, conferring stability to oncogenic proteins[33]. |
Decreased function of DNA repair enzymes[39]. |
Ref. | Year | Number of pathology samples | HDACs/HATs studied | Correlation with clinicopathological data |
Langer et al[29] | 2010 | 180 EC samples | HDAC1 and 2 | Increased N stage and Tumor Grade correlated with increased HDAC2 expression |
Xue et al[30] | 2014 | 167 EC samples | HDAC1 and HAT1 | Increased Tumor Grade correlated with increased HAT1 expression |
Zeng et al[12] | 2016 | 86 ESCC samples | HDAC4 | Increased T, N, M, TNM stage, Tumor Grade and increased metastatic potential correlated with increased HDAC4 expression Worse 5-yr OS and DFS was noted in patients with increased HDAC4 expression |
Tao et al[33] | 2018 | Study performed on cell lines of EC | HDAC6 | Increased cell motility and invasion capacity and increased HSP-90 activity, conferring oncogenic protein stability, correlated with increased HDAC6 expression |
