The use of many conventional chemotherapeutic drugs is often severely restricted due to dose-limiting toxicities, as these drugs target the destruction of the proliferating fraction of cells, often with little specificity for tumor cells over proliferating normal body tissue. Many newer drugs attempt to overcome this shortcoming by targeting defective gene products or cellular mechanisms that are specific to the tumor, thereby minimizing the toxicity to normal tissue. Histone deacetylase inhibitors are an example of this type of tumor-directed drug, having significant toxicity for tumors but minimal effects on normal tissue. These drugs can affect the transcriptional program by modifying chromatin structure, but it is not yet clear whether specific transcriptional changes are directly responsible for their tumor-selective toxicity. Recent evidence suggests that transcriptional changes underlie their cytostatic activity, although this is not tumor-selective and affects all proliferating cells. Here we present evidence that supports an alternative mechanism for the tumor-selective cytotoxicity of histone deacetylase inhibitors. The target is still likely to be the chromatin histones, but rather than transcriptional changes due to modification of the transcriptionally active euchromatin, we propose that hyperacetylation and disruption of the transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin, particularly the centromeric heterochromatin, and the inability of tumor cells to cell cycle arrest in response to a specific checkpoint, underlies the tumor-selective cytotoxicity of these drugs.

The staggerer mice carry a deletion in the RORalpha gene and have a prolonged humoral response, overproduce inflammatory cytokines, and are immunodeficient. Furthermore, the staggerer mice display lowered plasma apoA-I/-II, decreased plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, and develop hypo-alpha-lipoproteinemia and atherosclerosis. However, relatively little is known about RORalpha in the context of target tissues, target genes, and lipid homeostasis. For example, RORalpha is abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle, a major mass peripheral tissue that accounts for similar to40% of total body weight and 50% of energy expenditure. This lean tissue is a primary site of glucose disposal and fatty acid oxidation. Consequently, muscle has a significant role in insulin sensitivity, obesity, and the blood-lipid profile. In particular, the role of RORalpha in skeletal muscle metabolism has not been investigated, and the contribution of skeletal muscle to the ROR-/- phenotype has not been resolved. We utilize ectopic dominant negative RORalpha expression in skeletal muscle cells to understand the regulatory role of RORs in this major mass peripheral tissue. Exogenous dominant negative RORalpha expression in skeletal muscle cells represses the endogenous levels of RORalpha and -gamma mRNAs and ROR-dependent gene expression. Moreover, we observed attenuated expression of many genes involved in lipid homeostasis. Furthermore, we show that the muscle carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 and caveolin-3 promoters are directly regulated by ROR and coactivated by p300 and PGC-1. This study implicates RORs in the control of lipid homeostasis in skeletal muscle. In conclusion, we speculate that ROR agonists would increase fatty acid catabolism in muscle and suggest selective activators of ROR may have therapeutic utility in the treatment of obesity and atherosclerosis.
