Introduction

Full Name: Histone deacetylase 2 . HDAC2 is a zinc-dependent class I histone deacetylase. It possesses a highly conserved deacetylase domain and is closely related to HDAC1. HDAC2 coexists in the CoREST, NuRD, and Sin3 complexes and often exhibits redundant functions with HDAC1 during later development. Additionally, HDAC2 is overexpressed in many cancers and is involved in transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, the DNA damage response, development, and organogenesis (1-11).

Function and Interaction

HDAC2 suppression increases p21 expression and apoptosis, leading to a decreased cell density (1). The HDAC1/HDAC2 dimer interacts with EZH2, assisting EZH2 in its interaction with Snail, thus forming the EZH2/HDAC1/ HDAC 2/Snail complex, which may be related to the progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) (2). HDAC2 is directly ubiquitinated and degraded by Mule (Mcl-1 ubiquitin ligase E3), and Mule-HDAC2 is believed to alter p53 activity. Thus, HDAC2 is associated with the p53 pathway and DNA damage response and could also be related to gene expression and apoptosis through pathways not involving p53 (3). In addition to p53, HDAC2 suppresses p63 during epidermal development (4). Highly HDAC2 expression disrupts memory formation and synaptic maturation and can inhibit neuronal gene expression as well (5-6). HDAC2 is more abundant in neurons than HDAC1 and can be modified by S-nitrosylation, thus promoting chromatin remodeling and modulating EGR1 expression, dendritic growth, and branching in neurons (5,7). HDAC2 is related to organogenesis, specifically being involved in myocardial growth, morphogenesis, and contractility (8).

Disease Association

High levels of HDAC2 expression are associated with tumor cell proliferation, and HDAC2 has been shown to be overexpressed in renal cell, prostate, gastric, and esophageal cancers (12-15). HDAC2 overexpression is also found in oral cancer and is suggested to be a prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) (16). HDAC2 is mutated in colon cancer, indicating this protein as a potential pharmacogenetic target for cancer treatment (17).
