title: Mechanism of the eosinophilic differentiation of HL-60 clone 15 cells induced by n-butyrate.
abstract: n-Butyrate is one of the most powerful chemical inducers of the differentiation of human eosinophilic leukemia HL-60 clone 15 cells into mature eosinophils. We have recently reported that the mechanism by which HL-60 clone 15 cells differentiate into eosinophils by n-butyrate is that n-butyrate continuously inhibits histone deacetylase activity as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, resulting in continuous acetylation of histones. In this review, we discuss roles of histone acetyltransferase, histone deacetylase and histone deacetylase inhibitors in the differentiation of HL-60 clone 15 cells into eosinophils.
