Abstract
The antitumor activity of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACI) on multidrug-resistant sarcoma cell lines has not been previously described. Treatment of multidrug-resistant sarcoma cell lines with HDACI PCI-24781 resulted in dose-dependent accumulation of acetylated histone, p21 and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) cleavage products. Growth of these cell lines was inhibited by PCI-24781 at IC(50) of 0.43 to 2.7. When we looked for synergy of PCI-24781 with chemotherapeutic agents, we found that PCI-24781 reverses drug resistance in all four multidrug-resistant sarcoma cell lines and synergizes with chemotherapeutic agents to enhance caspase-3/-7 activity. Expression of RAD51 (a marker for DNA double-strand break repair) was inhibited and the expression of GADD45α (a marker for growth arrest and DNA-damage) was induced by PCI-24781 in multidrug-resistant sarcoma cell lines. In conclusion, HDACI PCI-24781 synergizes with chemotherapeutic drugs to induce apoptosis and reverses drug resistance in multidrug-resistant sarcoma cell lines.Entities:
