DNA methylation and histone acetylation are two well known epigenetic chromatin modifications. Epigenetic agents leading to DNA hypomethylation and histone hyperacetylation have been approved for treatment of hematological disorders. The first histone deacetylase inhibitor, vorinostat, has been licensed for cutaneous T cell lymphoma treatment. More than 11 new epigenetic agents are in various stages of clinical development for therapy of multiple cancer types. In this review we summarize novel histone deacetylase inhibitors and new regimens from clinical trials for epigenetic therapy of cancer.
DNA 甲基化和组蛋白乙酰化是两种众所周知的表观遗传染色质修饰。导致 DNA 低甲基化和组蛋白高乙酰化的表观遗传药物已被批准用于治疗血液系统疾病。第一个组蛋白去乙酰化酶抑制剂伏立诺他已被批准用于治疗皮肤 T 细胞淋巴瘤。目前有 11 多种新的表观遗传药物处于不同的临床开发阶段,用于治疗多种癌症类型。在这篇综述中,我们总结了新型组蛋白去乙酰化酶抑制剂和临床试验中的新方案,用于癌症的表观遗传治疗。
