Use of Histone Deacetylase 8 (HDAC8), a New Marker of Smooth Muscle Differentiation, in the Classification of Mesenchymal Tumors of the Uterus

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Uterine smooth muscle tumors (SMTs) are usually recognized on the basis of their routine morphologic features; however, their distinction from endometrial stromal tumors (ESTs), the second most common mesenchymal tumor of the uterus, is sometimes problematic. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) were originally identified as nuclear enzymes regulating histone acetylation. We have recently shown that in normal...
