HDAC6 and colonic neoplasm: For example, Hrzenjak at al reported that HDAC2 down-regulation results in increased p21 expression [35]; Wilson et al showed that up-regulation of HDAC3 leads to inhibition of p21 expression, and that HDAC3 silencing enhances the expression of p21 in colon cancer cells [36]; Li et al found that HDAC6 down-regulation increases p21 expression and cell cycle arrest in EC9706 cells [37].
