“…This elevates the strong possibility that reversing deregulated epigenetic mechanisms may be an effective treatment strategy for proliferative diseases. Incidentally, the property of HDACs, suppression of gene expression by epigenetic mechanism, has been exploited in the field of cancer to reactivate transcriptionally silent tumor suppressor gene to arrest proliferation of cancer cells and growth (Pons et al, 2009;Ranganna, et al, 2005Ranganna, et al, , 2007Sharma et al, 2010). Moreover, HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) are emerging as a new class of anticancer agents that are under clinical trials for different cancer treatment.…”
