to induce apoptosis in human leukemic lymphoblasts (53). Further-
more, HDAC inhibitors induce the expression of cell cycle kinase inhib-
itor p21, causing growth arrest in transformed cells (54, 55). It is inter-
esting to note that expression of p21 is induced by HDAC inhibitors
since p21 is induced at a very early stage of adipocyte differentiation to
modulate clonal expansion (56). Although the precise mechanisms by
which HDAC inhibitors induce cell cycle arrest via p21 expression dur-
ing adipogenesis remain to be elucidated, it might shed light in under-
standing how histone acetylation and deacetylation are possibly linked
to adipocyte differentiation.
In summary, our results show that the down-regulation of HDAC
expression and the resulting increase of histone acetylation are impor-
tant for adipogenesis. The substantial decrease in HDAC activity results
in preferential histone hyperacetylation at the promoter regions of adi-
pocyte marker genes. It is therefore likely that regulation of HDAC
expression would be an essential process in adipocyte differentiation
and that preadipocytes could initiate the differentiation process only
when cellular level of HDACs falls below a certain threshold level and
also that HDACs are involved in maintaining the preadipocyte pheno-
type. This is a novel viewpoint concerning the regulation of adipogen-
