Aim  Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs)-based therapies have stimulated interest via their anti-tumor activities, including apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, cell differentiation, and autophagy. However, the mechanisms of HDACI-associated anti-tumor activity are not yet clearly defined. The aim of this study was to explore the key events of Trichostatin A (TSA), a classic HDACI agent, against breast cancer cells.    Methods  The MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-10A cell lines were evaluated with colony-forming and cell viability assays. Apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were detected by flow cytometry. Mitochondrial function was measured with biochemical assays, flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy.    Results  TSA inhibited breast cancer cell viability and proliferation, without affecting MCF-10A cell. TSA-induced breast cancer cell apoptosis was initiated by G2-M arrest and depended on mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced subsequent to reduced mitochondrial respiratory chain activity. The enhanced mitochondrial ROS production and apoptosis in cancer cells were markedly attenuated by antioxidants, such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), reduced glutathione (GSH) and Vitamin C.    Conclusion  The present study demonstrated that TSA-induced cell death by arresting cell cycle in G2-M phase and was dependent on production of mitochondria-derived ROS, which was derived from impaired mitochondrial respiratory chain.
