Abstract
Objective

Sodium butyrate (NaBu) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor that possesses an apoptotic ability. However, the molecular mechanism by which NaBu induces apoptosis in human oral mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), a type of salivary gland tumor, remains unclear.

Materials and methods

The anticancer effects of NaBu and its related molecular mechanisms were determined by trypan blue exclusion assay, 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining, live/dead assay, human apoptosis array, RT-PCR, western blotting, immunocytochemistry, preparation of nuclear fractions, and nude mice tumor xenograft.

Results

In this study, we found that NaBu inhibited growth and induced apoptosis in the human oral MEC cell lines MC3 and YD15 with acetylation of histone proteins H2A and H3. NaBu apparently down-regulated survivin protein, as evidenced by the results of the human apoptosis antibody array, and modulated it at the post-translational process. Interestingly, NaBu caused nuclear translocation of survivin protein in both cell lines. NaBu also resulted in decreased expression levels of Bcl-xL mRNA and protein, leading to induction of caspase-dependent apoptosis in human oral MEC cell lines. In addition, NaBu administration inhibited tumor growth in vivo at a dosage of 500 mg/kg/day, but it did not cause any hepatic or renal toxicity.

Conclusion

This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanism of apoptotic actions by NaBu in human oral MEC and the basis of its clinical application for the treatment of human oral MEC.
