“…Additionally, expression changes of HDAC5 were found, e.g., in hepatocellular carcinoma [ 22 , 23 ], lung cancer [ 24 ], and colon cancer [ 25 ], thus underlining its role in oncogenesis. Several studies, additionally, have shown a significant cytotoxic effect of various HDAC inhibitors (mostly pan-HDAC specificity) in pNET cell lines in vitro [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Therefore, in the current study, we analyzed the in vitro effects of pharmacological HDAC inhibition (LMK-235, a selective class IIA HDAC inhibitor [ 31 ]) in two established pNET cell lines, BON-1 and QGP-1, to determine whether LMK-235 represents an effective modifier of this epigenetic mechanism and a possible therapeutic approach in pNET.…”
