Epigenetic modifiers are currently in clinical use for various tumor types. Recently, numerous studies supporting the combination of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors have emerged, encouraging early clinical trials of these agents together. Here we show that MS-275, an HDACi, and 5-azacytidine, a methyltransferase inhibitor, display synergistic cytotoxicity and apoptosis in AML and ALL cells. Intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, is a novel marker for this synergism in ALL cells. These data suggest that assessment of oxidative stress can serve as a marker of the concerted action of MS-275 and 5-azacytidine. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
