Research Abstract |
Histone deacetylase(HDAC) inhibitors which are promising anti-tumor agents have high selectivity to the cancer cell in which the ERK-MAP kinase pathway is constitutively activated. The molecular mechanism which results in remarkable HDAC inhibitor sensitivity by blockade of this pathway with MEK inhibitors was clarified. Moreover, in vitro and the animal experiment with xenograft model proved that it is effective also in the cancers which are resistant to some molecular-targeted drugs such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It is expected that these results will be useful for the personalized treatment of cancer by HDAC inhibitors.
