HDAC2 and small cell lung carcinoma: However, expression of HDAC1 and HDAC2 were uncoupled in neuroendocrine cell lines, so that in each case one of the isoenzyme transcripts was markedly elevated relative to the other: HDAC2 in SCLC (NCI-H69, NCI-H345 and Lu-165) and HDAC1 in the NCI-H727 carcinoid cell line (Figure 1A).
