Recently, a novel strategy for the treatment of leukemias through the modulation of chromatin<br />

structure has been applied. In this study, we conducted an analysis of anti-leukemic efects of<br />

the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, phenyl butyrate (PB) <strong>and</strong> vitamin B3, <strong>and</strong> in<br />

combination with the differentiation agent, retinoic acid (RA), on the promyelocytic leukemia<br />

cell line HL-60. We found that the HDACI combinations exert different effects on cell cycle<br />

arrest, differentiation <strong>and</strong> apoptosis. We also assessed the expression of the early granulocytic<br />

differentiation marker CD11b on the cells treated with different combination of HDACI <strong>and</strong><br />

RA. The most promising treatment for differentiation therapy was defined using a 6-h<br />

pretreatment with phenyl butyrate <strong>and</strong> vitamin B3 before the combined exposition to RA with<br />

vitamin B3. This significantly accelerated <strong>and</strong> increased cell differentiation (up to 95%)<br />

during the 48-h treatment. The examined HDAC inhibitors, in combination with the<br />

differentiation agent caused rapid histone H3 <strong>and</strong> H4 modifications in HL-60 cells. The<br />

increased level of histone H4 acetylation was associated with the initiation <strong>and</strong> maturation<br />

stages of HL-60 cell differentiation. Our results suggest that the chromatin remodeling using<br />

HDAC inhibitors provides a rationale for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.<br />
