Histone deacetylase inhibitors induce caspase‐dependent apoptosis and downregulation of daxx in acute promyelocytic leukaemia with <i>t</i>(15;17)
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) as it is recruited by both PML-RARalpha and PLZF/RAR alpha in leukaemic cells with t(15;17) and t(11;17) respectively. Recent studies have demonstrated that HDAC inhibitors can be therapeutically used in various neoplastic disorders including APL. Cell differentiation was considered the major...
