Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate the expression and activity of numerous proteins involved in both cancer initiation and cancer progression. By removal of acetyl groups from histones, HDACs create a non-permissive chromatin conformation that prevents the transcription of genes that encode proteins involved in tumorigenesis. In addition to histones, HDACs bind to and deacetylate a variety of other protein targets including transcription factors and other abundant cellular proteins implicated in control of cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms by which HDACs alter the expression and function of cancer-associated proteins and examines the general impact of HDAC activity in cancer.Keywords
