Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors are novel in cancer therapy nowadays. HDAC6-selective inhibitors exert advantageous effects due to higher selectivity and less toxicity. We explored the anti-tumor effect and the molecular mechanism of cay10603, a potent HDAC6 inhibitor in Burkitt's lymphoma cells. Our study revealed cay10603 inhibited the proliferation of Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines, and induced caspase-dependent apoptosis. Cay10603 inhibited the expression of CDKs and cyclins to impede cell cycle progression in both Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines. Cay10603 also showed the additive effect with vp16 notably. Our data presented the promising anti-tumor effect of cay10603 in the Burkitt's lymphoma therapy.

Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is the most prevalent category of inherited neuropathy. The most common inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant, though there also are X-linked and autosomal recessive subtypes. In addition to a variety of inheritance patterns, there are a myriad of genes associated with CMT, reflecting the heterogeneity of this disorder. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has expanded and simplified the diagnostic yield of genes/molecules underlying and/or associated with CMT, which is of paramount importance in providing a substrate for current and future targeted disease-modifying treatment options. Considerable research attention for disease-modifying therapy has been geared towards the most commonly encountered genetic mutations (PMP22, GJB1, MPZ, and MFN2). In this review, we highlight the clinical background, molecular understanding, and therapeutic investigations of these CMT subtypes, while also discussing therapeutic research pertinent to the remaining less common CMT subtypes.
