Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogenous disease with high aggressive and poor outcome. The lack of biomarkers and targeted therapies makes it a challenge for the treatment of TNBC. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are emerging as novel anti-tumor agents in many types of human cancers. In this study, we found that I-7ab, a novel HDACi, inhibited the cell viability of TNBC cells and induced the cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, I-7ab specifically decreased the expression of HDAC3 and promoted the acetylation of p53 at both Lys373 and Lys382 amino acids. The up-regulated acetylation of p53 promoted the transcriptional activity of p53 and induced the expression of p21, which consequently caused cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. Administration of I-7ab inhibited the colony formation of TNBC cells. Collectively, these results indicated I-7ab as a promising anti-cancer agent in the treatment of TNBC.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)是一种具有高度侵袭性和预后不良的异质性疾病。缺乏生物标志物和靶向治疗药物使得 TNBC 的治疗成为一个挑战。组蛋白去乙酰化酶抑制剂(HDACi)在多种人类癌症中作为新型抗肿瘤药物崭露头角。在这项研究中,我们发现新型 HDACi I-7ab 抑制 TNBC 细胞的活力并诱导细胞凋亡。在机制上,I-7ab 特异性地下调 HDAC3 的表达,并促进 p53 在 Lys373 和 Lys382 氨基酸上的乙酰化。p53 的上调乙酰化促进了 p53 的转录活性,并诱导了 p21 的表达,从而导致细胞周期停滞在 G1 期。I-7ab 的给药抑制了 TNBC 细胞的集落形成。总之,这些结果表明 I-7ab 是治疗 TNBC 的一种有前途的抗癌药物。
