Mutant p53 is a cancer-specific target for pharmacologic intervention. We show that histone deacetylase inhibitors such as FR901228 and trichostatin A completely depleted mutant p53 in cancer cell lines. This depletion was preceded by induction of p53-regulated transcription. In cells with mutant p53 pretreated with historic deacetylase inhibitors, DNA damage further enhanced the p53 trans-function. Furthermore, histone deacetylase inhibitors were preferentially cytotoxic to cells with mutant p53 rather than to cells lacking wild-type p53. We suggest that, by either restoring or mimicking p53 trans-functions, historic deacetylase inhibitors initiate degradation of mutant p53. Because mutant p53 is highly expressed, a sudden restoration of p53-like functions is highly cytotoxic to cells with mutant p53. In a broader perspective, this shows how selectivity may be achieved by targeting a non-cancer-specific target, such as histone deacetylases, in the presence of a cancer-specific alteration, such as mutant p53.
