Pancreatic cancer is a lethal human malignancy with an extremely poor prognosis and urgently requires new therapies. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) represent a new class of anticancer agents and have shown promising antitumor activities in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer. In this study, we sought to determine the antitumor effects of a novel HDACI, chidamide (CS055), in pancreatic cancer cells alone or in combination with gemcitabine. Treatments of BxPC-3 or PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cell lines with chidamide resulted in dose- and time-dependent growth arrest, accompanied by induction of p21 expression. When combined in a sequential schedule, chidamide synergistically enhanced gemcitabine-induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis, accompanied by cooperative downregulation of Mcl-1 and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi(m)). Chidamide enhanced gemcitabine-induced DNA double-strand breaks and S phase arrest, and abrogated the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint, potentially through suppression of CHK1 expression. Our results suggest that chidamide has a therapeutic potential for treating pancreatic cancer, especially in combination with gemcitabine. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
