Abstract:Histone acetylation is often altered in cancers and histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACi) are actively pursued as anti-cancer agents.
SAHA (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) is the first HDACi approved for clinical use.
To monitor the effects of SAHA on DNA replication and genomic integrity in cancer cells, we detected broken DNA with COMET assays and analyzed phosphorylation of histone H2AX (gH2AX). Nuclear replication factories in single cells were visualized after pulse labeli… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
