| Research Abstract |
We investigated the significance of epigenetic modulation of the effects of anticancer agents on cancer stem cells. We found that combination therapy of anticancer agents and histone deacetylase inhibitor(HDACi) markedly reduced cancer cell viability compared to that of each single agent alone. We confirmed that HDACi induced cell differentiation of cancer cell lines in terms of stemness genes and cancer stem cell markers. Finally, we identified the candidate genes, which might be responsible to the synergistic effects of HDACi, using a DNA microarray analysis and a gene network analysis.
