Objective:To investigate the anti-tumor effect of the Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor ACY-738 and its underlying mechanisms in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) .Methods:The expression of HDAC6 in various tumors and DLBCL was analyzed using bioinformatics. DLBCL cells were treated with different concentrations of ACY-738. Cell viability, DNA synthesis, and clone formation were assessed by CCK-8 assay, EdU assay, and soft agar assay, respectively. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by fluorescence microscopy. Morphological changes in cells were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mitochondrial ROS levels and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. The expression levels of apoptosis-related and autophagy-related proteins were detected by Western blotting.Results:HDAC6 was highly expressed in DLBCL ( P<0.05). ACY-738 inhibited the proliferation, DNA synthesis, and colony formation of DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner ( P<0.05). Treatment with ACY-738 increased intracellular and mitochondrial ROS levels in DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner ( P<0.05). TEM revealed that after ACY-738 treatment, mitochondria in cells were swollen and ruptured, mitochondrial cristae were reduced or absent, autolysosomes appeared, and features characteristic of apoptosis were observed. Western blotting showed that after ACY-738 treatment, the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 was downregulated, while the expression of Cleaved-PARP, Cleaved caspase-3, and BAX was upregulated ( P<0.05). The expression of autophagy-related proteins Atg7, Atg3, LC3B, and P62 was downregulated, and the expression of acetylated P53 protein was upregulated ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The HDAC6 inhibitor ACY-738 induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis and autophagy in DLBCL cells by acetylating P53, thereby inhibiting DLBCL cell proliferation.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory disease characterized by the damage of the epithelial barrier of the colon and the destruction of immune homeostasis. It has a long course, no recovery and high recurrence rate, and is recognized as a difficult digestive disease. MicroRNA (miRNA) has been confirmed to be specifically or differentially expressed in both UC patients and UC animal models, so miRNA can be used as markers for UC diagnosis or reference for treatment evaluation. TCM therapy has a definite therapeutic effect, a wide range of effects, and minimal side effects in the treatment of UC, so this article takes miRNA as the starting point and systematically elaborates on the mechanism of TCM regulating UC related signaling pathways by regulating the expression of miRNA. The results show that chlorogenic acid, Anchang decoction, and Fuyang huoxue jiedu formula can regulate the expressions of miR-155, miR-146a and miR-31-5p, etc., thereby inhibiting signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signal pathway transduction to improve UC. Limonin, ginsenoside Rh2, artesunate, etc. can inhibit nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway conduction to improve UC by regulating the expressions of miR-214, miR- 155 and miR-19a, etc. Nitidine chloride, berberine, resveratrol, etc. can regulate the expressions of miR-31, miR-146a, miR- 146b, etc., thereby inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway to improve UC. Mango polyphenolics, Compound qinbai granules, and Astragalus membranaceus polysaccharides can regulate the expressions of miR-126 and miR-193a-3p, thereby inhibiting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) signaling pathway to improve UC.
