“…In the repression of gene transcription expression, histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a significant role by changing chromatin structure (Thiagalingam et al, 2003) and affecting proliferation, cell cycling, apoptosis, differentiation, DNA replication, DNA damage response and migration of cancer cells (Langer et al, 2010;Li et al, 2013a). It has been reported that over-expression of HDACs has been detected in lung cancer tissues (Sasaki et al, 2004;Krusche et al, 2005;Nakagawa et al, 2007;Fritzsche et al, 2008;Weichert et al, 2008a;Weichert et al, 2008b;Kallsen et al, 2012) and that the expression of HDAC promotes the progress of lung cancer (Zhang et al, 2012b). Specifically, the expression of HDAC1 is related to advanced non small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) (Minamiya et al, 2011), and an independent predictor of poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC (Bremnes et al, 2006).…”
