Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor in adults
despite contemporary gold-standard first-line treatment strategies. This type of
tumor recurs in virtually all patients and no commonly accepted standard
treatment exists for the recurrent disease. Therefore, advances in all scientific
and clinical aspects of GBM are urgently needed. Epigenetic mechanisms are one of
the major factors contributing to the pathogenesis of cancers, including
glioblastoma. Epigenetic modulators that regulate gene expression by altering the
epigenome and non-histone proteins are being exploited as therapeutic drug
targets. Over the last decade, numerous preclinical and clinical studies on
histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have shown promising results in various
cancers. This article provides an overview of the anticancer mechanisms of HDAC
inhibitors and the role of HDAC isoforms in GBM. We also summarize current
knowledge on HDAC inhibitors on the basis of preclinical studies and emerging
clinical data.
