Recent studies have shown that an endogenous lipoperoxidation product, 9-hydroxystearic acid (9-HSA), acts in colon carcinoma cells (HT29) as a growth inhibitor by inducing p21WAF1 in an immediate-early, p53 independent fashion, and that p21WAF1 is required for 9-HSA mediated growth arrest in HT29. It is therefore conceavable to hypothesize that the cytostatic effect induced by this agent can be at least partially associated to a molecular mechanism which involves histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) inhibition as demonstrated for sodium butyrate and other specific inhibitors, such as trichostatin A and hydroxamic acids. In the present paper we show that, after administration, 9-HSA causes an accumulation of hyperacetylated histones, and strongly inhibits the activity of HDAC1. The interaction of 9-HSA with the catalytic site of the enzyme has then been highlighted by computational modelling of the human HDAC1 using its homologue from the hyperthermophilic Aquifex aeolicus as a template. Consistently with the experimental data we find that 9-HSA can bind to the active site of the protein, showing that the inhibition of the enzyme can be explained at the molecular level by the ligand/protein interaction.
