Histone deacetylase inhibitors potently repress CXCR4 chemokine receptor expression and function in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 plays a crucial role in the survival and trafficking of leukaemia cells and requires further attention as human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I) utilises CXCR4 as the major coreceptor for cellular entry. We demonstrated that inhibitors of histone deacetylases, currently being tested in clinical trials for the treatment of various tumours, extensively downregulated CXCR4 protein...
