Differential Effects of Histone Deacetylases on the Expression of NKG2D Ligands and NK Cell-Mediated Anticancer Immunity in Lung Cancer Cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Histone acetylation is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates the expression of various genes, such as natural killer group 2, member D (NKG2D) ligands. These NKG2D ligands are the key molecules that activate immune cells expressing the NKG2D receptor. It has been observed that cancer cells overexpress histone deacetylases (HDACs) and show reduced acetylation of nuclear histones. Furthermore, HDAC inhibitors are known to upregulate the expression of NKG2D ligands. Humans have 18 known HDAC enzymes that are divided into four classes. At present, it is not clear which types of HDAC are involved in the expression of NKG2D ligands. We hypothesized that specific types of HDAC genes might be responsible for altering the expression of NKG2D ligands. In this study, we monitored the expression of NKG2D ligands and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules in lung cancer cells which were treated with six selective HDAC inhibitors and specific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). We observed that treatment with FK228, which is a selective HDAC1/2 inhibitor, also known as Romidepsin, induced NKG2D ligand expression at the transcriptional and proteomic levels in two different lung cancer cell lines. It also caused an increase in the susceptibility of NCI-H23 cells to NK cells. Silencing HDAC1 or HDAC2 using specific siRNAs increased NKG2D ligand expression. In conclusion, it appears that HDAC1 and HDAC2 might be the key molecules regulating the expression of NKG2D ligands. These results imply that specifically inhibiting HDAC1 and HDAC2 could induce the expression of NKG2D ligands and improve the NK cell-mediated anti-cancer immunity.
