BACKGROUND: A well-known histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A, was applied to non-small-cell lung cancer cells to determine whether inhibition of histone deacetylase leads to the production of proteins that either arrest tumor cell growth or lead to tumor cell death. METHODS: Trichostatin A (0.01 to 1.0 micromol/L) was applied to one normal lung fibroblast and four non-small-cell lung cancer lines, and its effect was determined by flow cytometry, annexin-V staining, immunoprecipitation, and Western blot analysis. RESULTS: Trichostatin A demonstrated tenfold greater growth inhibition in all four non-small-cell lung cancer lines compared with normal controls, with a concentration producing 50% inhibition ranging from 0.01 to 0.04 micromol/L for the tumor cell lines and 0.7 micromol/L for the normal lung fibroblast line. Trichostatin A treatment reduced the percentage of cells in S phase (10% to 23%) and increased G1 populations (10% to 40%) as determined by flow cytometry. Both annexin-V binding assay and upregulation of the protein, gelsolin (threefold to tenfold), demonstrated that the tumor cells were apoptotic, whereas normal cells were predominantly in cell cycle arrest. Trichostatin A increased histone H4 acetylation and expression of p21 twofold to 15-fold without significant effect on p16, p27, CDK2, and cyclin D1. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, these data suggest that inhibition of histone deacetylation may provide a valuable approach for lung cancer treatment. We evaluated trichostatin A as a potential candidate for anticancer therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer.
