Journal, PARP Biomarker: Tumor Suppressive Maspin-Sensitized Prostate Cancer to Drug Treatment Through Negative Regulating Androgen Receptor Expression. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 18, 2020 Finally, maspin-mediated repression of AR was induced by treatment of MS-275, which promoted enzalutamide treatment efficacy with decrease of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) expression in LNCaP and 22RV1 cells. Taken together, the data not only demonstrated maspin-mediated repression of AR to augment drug anti-tumor activity but also provided in-depth support for combination of HDAC inhibitors with AR antagonist in CaP therapy.

If proven efficacious in larger studies, they could serve as additional first line CDR options in addition to HMA and venetoclax in treating elderly patients with newly diagnosed AML.

Journal: Discovery of Peptide Boronate Derivatives as Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) and Proteasome Dual Inhibitors for Overcoming Bortezomib Resistance of Multiple Myeloma. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 3, 2020 The most potent inhibitors, ZY-2 and ZY-13 showed excellent inhibition against proteasome and good selectivity against HDACs. In particular, ZY-2 not only exhibited good antiproliferative activities on MM cell lines RPMI-8226, U266 and KM3 (IC50 values of 6.66 nM, 4.31 nM and 10.1 nM, respectively) but also showed more potent antiproliferative activities against the bortezomib resistant MM cell line KM3/BTZ compared with bortezomib (IC50 values of 8.98 nM vs. 226 nM, P < 0.01) and even better than the combination of HDAC inhibitor MS-275 and bortezomib (1:1) (IC50 values of 8.98 nM vs. 98.0 nM, P < 0.01).

(Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2020 As a proved transcription factor of FGF21, the expression of CREBH was initiated by MS-275, with increased Histone H3 Lysine 18 acetylation(H3K18ac) signals and hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4α) recruitment in CREBH promoter. Adenovirus-mediated knockdown of CREBH abolished MS-275-induced hepatic FGF21 and lipid metabolism-related gene expressions.These results suggest that MS-275 induces hepatic FGF21 by H3K18ac-mediated CREBH expression.
