Abstract
Interplay of genetic and epigenetic dysregulation powers the onset and progression of cancer (Lund and van Lohuizen 2004). Proper execution of gene expression programs is potentially reliant on acetylation homeostasis (Fraga et al. 2005; Li and Seto 2016). Regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and their functional antagonists histone deacetylases (HDACs), this homeostasis drives cellular processes in a normal manner (Yang and Seto 2007). Anomalous expression/activity of HDACs contributes significantly to tumour onset and progression through epigenetic mechanism (Li and Seto 2016). Moreover, HDAC overactivity, by way of altering stability and functioning of non-histone proteins also facilitates cancer signalling (Ganai 2018; Singh et al. 2010). Although both HAT inactivity and HDAC overactivity have been noted in cancers, the latter is preferred for intervention (Marks et al. 2004). This is because from pharmacological standpoint it is highly straightforward to obstruct an enzyme instead of inducing one (Shabason et al. 2010). Due to this fact HDAC inhibition has gained a massive clinical interest as a potential strategy for subduing cancer.
