Tumor selectivity and transcriptional activation by azelaic bishydroxamic acid in human melanocytic cells
摘要:
Azelaic bishydroxamic acid (ABHA), a potent differentiating agent for lymphoid cells, was selectively toxic for 5 human tumor cell lines and transformed human melanocytes and keratinocytes (dose for 37% survival, D-37, 30-100 mu g/mL) compared with normal cells (melanocytes, fibroblasts; D-37 > 300 mu g/mL). Dendritic morphology was the only indicator found for increased differentiation, markers for the pigmentation pathway being unchanged or inhibited by ABHA. In contrast to hexamethylene bisacetamide and azelaic acid, ABHA significantly increased the HIV LTR, SV40 and c-fos promoter activities during a 24 hr treatment. Metallothionein promoter activity was enhanced by 5 hr treatment with ABHA in a sensitive melanoma cell line (MM96L) but was inhibited in a more resistant line (HeLa); c-fos promoter activity was inhibited in HeLa during this time. Transcription from a p53 binding response element was inhibited in MM96L by a 24 hr ABHA treatment but enhanced in HeLa. ABHA may represent a structural prototype for designing more potent and selective anti-melanoma agents. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.

A method is provided for treating a Mendelian disorder of the epigenetic machinery (e.g., Kabuki syndrome) in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the method comprises administering to the subject a ketogenic composition in an amount sufficient to produce a physiologically acceptable ketosis in the subject. A method for selecting a subject for treatment of a Mendelian disorder of the epigenetic machinery (e.g., Kabuki syndrome) is also provided. Ketogenic compositions and kits useful for practicing the methods are also provided.

A method is provided for treating a Mendelian disorder of the epigenetic machinery in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that restores balance between open and closed chromatin states at one or more target genes, wherein the agent that restores balance between open and closed chromatin states at one or more target genes is an agent that ameliorates the effect of a defective gene encoding a component of the epigenetic machinery.

The conformational behaviour of a series of monohydroxamic acids, p-RC(6)H(4)CONR'OH (R = Me, R' = H, Me; R = MeO, R' = H, Me; R = NO2, R' = H), and a series of dihydroxamic acids, (CH2)(n)(CONR'OH)(2) (n = 3-8, 10, R' = H and n = 7, R' = Me), in methanol, DMSO and chloroform and in the solid state has been examined using IR and NMR spectroscopy, X-Ray crystal structure determinations of p-MeC(6)H(4)CONMeOH and the monohydrate of glutarodihydroxamic acid (n = 3) together with ab initio molecular orbital calculations for several hydrated and unhydrated hydroxamic acids have been performed. Hydrogen bonding effects are shown to be important in both the solid state and solution, The cis(Z) conformation of the hydroxamate group(s) (CONHOH) is preferentially stabilized by hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
