HDAC1 and HDAC6 are essential for driving growth in IDH1 mutant glioma.

ABSTRACT: Low-grade and secondary high-grade gliomas frequently contain mutations in the IDH1 or IDH2 metabolic enzymes that are hypothesized to drive tumorigenesis by inhibiting many of the chromatin-regulating enzymes that regulate DNA structure. Histone deacetylase inhibitors are promising anti-cancer agents and have already been used in clinical trials. However, a clear understanding of their mechanism or gene targets is lacking. In this study, the authors genetically dissect patient-derived IDH1 mutant cultures to determine which HDAC enzymes drive growth in IDH1 mutant gliomas. A panel of patient-derived gliomasphere cell lines (2 IDH1 mutant lines, 3 IDH1 wildtype lines) were subjected to a drug-screen of epigenetic modifying drugs from different epigenetic classes. The effect of LBH (panobin
