Abstract
Peripheral neuropathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases that are characterized by a progressive, ascending loss of nerve function arising from the peripheral regions of the limbs. The phenotypic overlap between different types of hereditary and acquired peripheral neuropathies indicates that similar pathophysiological processes are at play. Many downstream pathways in peripheral neurons, such as axonal transport, protein degradation, and interactions with Schwann cells, organelle damage, channelopathies, and neuroinflammatory signaling, have been proposed and each affects peripheral nerves in a negative way. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) plays an important role at the intersection of these converging pathogenic pathways. The enzymatic deacetylase activity of HDAC6 is upregulated in neurodegenerative disorders and typically results in downstream neuronal stress. Areas covered: The role of HDAC6 in the common pathogenic mechanisms of peripheral neuropathies. In addition, we discuss the current preclinical and clinical HDAC6 inhibitors (HDAC6i), their chemical structure, development, and limitations. Expert opinion: The development and testing of non-hydroxamic acid-based, should be the focus of the future research. Moreover, HDAC6i should be further investigated as a preventative measure and therapeutic strategy for inherited and acquired peripheral neuropathies.
