Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide,with increasing rate of incidence and mortality every year.The causes of breast cancer are still unresolved,ER?positive breast cancer type account for 70%of total breast cancer patients.Tamoxifen is the most common used drug for ERa positive patients,unfortunately it can't avoid endocrine therapy resistance.HDACs family had been found to be overexpressed in many cancer types,several HDIs had been approved by FDA for clinical therapy of cancer patients.In order to investigate the mechanism of TAM resistance,and feasibility of HDIs for the treatment of TAM resistant breast cancer patients,ERa silencing method was used to study ERa's influence on HDACs activity.After that,HDAC3 and HDAC6 in HDACs were identified to be negatively regulated by ERa.HDAC3 overexpression and inhibition prove that HDAC3 participated in specifically deacetylation of H3K9Ac.Inhibition of HDAC6 implies that HDAC6 is involved in cell migration and YAP regulation.At last,comparation of TAM sensitive and resistant cells shown that HDAC3 and HDAC6 are indeed related to the development of TAM resistance.In conclusion,in breast cancer,resistance to TAM is due to low expression of ERa.Loss of expression of ERa triggered upregulation of HDAC3 and HDAC6.In addition,HDAC3 is involved in specifically deacetylation of H3K9Ac to suppress cell cycle related genes transpription,which would promote cancer development.HDAC6 is implicated in cell migration and growth control and participated in YAP regulation.Upregulation of HDAC3 and HDAC6 in ERa positive breast cancer cells cause the ERa-independent cell growth.This paper indicates that HDAC3 and HDAC6 inhibitor could be a potential therapeutic regimen for the treatment of TAM resistant in ERa positive breast cancer.
