Beneficial Roles of Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Butyrate to Multiple Myeloma, Acute Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Case Reports

AKIRA YAGI, Megumi Hasegawa, Hiroyuki Abe

Abstract


Multiple myeloma (MM) belongs to hematological malignancy that derives pro-survival/proliferative signals from the bone marrow niche, and its incidence is increasing worldwide. Butyrate, a well-known epigenetic histone deacetylase inhibitor, reduces the viability of MM cells, induces MM cell apoptosis via transcriptional activation of p21. Inpresent review we discuss butyrate as a potential therapeutic drug for MM and case reports of MM, acute leukemia, malignant lymphoma and glioma patients.
