Lung cancer is one of the most common diseases that endanger health and life of people domestically. A number of recurrence and death of lung cancer originated from metastasis. As a key step in metastasis of lung cancer, epithelial to mesenchymal transition involved down-regulation of E-cadherin, as well as regulated by EMT transcription factors. HATs and HDACs is a protein family that catalyzes acetylation and deacetylation of histones. Not only they have vital functions in tumor pathogenesis, but also participate in the EMT of lung cancer. HATs and HDACs interact with certain EMT transcription factors. Moreover, the function of these EMT transcription factors may be regulated by acetylation, which has influence on EMT program in lung cancer. Therefore, this review introduces the event of HATs and HDACs function in EMT of lung cancer, and investigate the molecular mechanism of their interaction. Then, the potential of HDAC inhibitor utilization in the inhibition of EMT and lung cancer therapy were discussed, as to pave the way for the related basic research and clinical practice.

A sigma factor is an important component of RNA polymerase complex and is essential for initiation of RNA synthesis. The sigma factors fall into 2 categories: primary sigma factor is essential for bacterial growth and the alterative sigma factor is activated under different environmental conditions. Sigma F (SigF) is one of the sigma factors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, affecting its virulence and pathogenesis. In contrast, the ortholog of the non-virulent, fast growing strain Mycobacterium smegmatis has been suggested without similar physiology roles. Here, we studied the functions of M. smegmatis SigF.
