Molecular Mechanism of the Cell Death Induced by the Histone Deacetylase Pan Inhibitor LBH589 (Panobinostat) in Wilms Tumor Cells.

Wilms tumor (WT) is an embryonic kidney cancer, for which histone acetylation might be a therapeutic target.LBH589, a novel targeted agent, suppresses histone deacetylases in many tumors.This study investigated the antitumor activity of LBH589 in SK-NEP-1 and G401 cells.SK-NEP-1 and G401 cell growth was assessed by CCK-8 and in nude mice experiment
