Purpose: Myxofibrosarcoma is characterized by a high rate of recurrence after surgery. Since myxofibrosarcoma is refractory to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, the established radical treatment is primary wide resection. The effects of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors on myxofibrosarcoma have not yet been investigated. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of a HDAC inhibitor on myxofibrosarcoma.
Methods: The effects of the HDAC inhibitor OBP-801 on human myxofibrosarcoma cells were examined using cell viability assay, flow cytometric analysis of the cell cycle and apoptosis, and Western blotting. The effects of combinations of OBP-801 with pazopanib or Akt-mTOR inhibitors were also investigated using cell viability assay.
Results: OBP-801 inhibited the growth of myxofibrosarcoma NMFH-1 and NMFH-2 cells. It also induced cell cycle arrest at the G2 phase and apoptosis in both cell lines. The inhibitory effects of pazopanib and Akt-mTOR inhibitors on the growth of myxofibrosarcoma cells were enhanced by the combination with OBP-801.
Conclusions: The present results demonstrated that OBP-801 exerted therapeutic effects in myxofibrosarcoma in both single and concomitant administrations. Therefore, OBP-801 has potential as a novel treatment for myxofibrosarcoma.

Due to the emergence of drug resistance, androgen receptor (AR)-targeted drugs still pose great challenges in the treatment of prostate cancer, and it is urgent to explore an innovative therapeutic strategy. MK-1775, a highly selective WEE1 inhibitor, is shown to have favorable therapeutic benefits in several solid tumor models. Recent evidence suggests that the combination of MK-1775 with DNA-damaging agents could lead to enhanced antitumor efficacy.

Due to the lack of effective therapeutic approach, glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most malignant brain tumour. By in vitro investigations on primary GBM stem cells, we highlighted one of the underlying mechanisms of drug resistance to alkylating agents, the DNA damage responses. Here, flow cytometric analysis and viability and repopulation assays were used to assess the long-term cytotoxic effect induced by the administration of a fourth-generation platinum prodrug, the (OC-6-44)-acetatodiamminedichlorido(2-(2-propynyl)octanoato) platinum(IV) named Pt(IV)Ac-POA, in comparison to the most widely used Cisplatin.

Background: Skin is exposed to various environmental factors throughout life, and some of these factors are known to contribute to skin aging. Long-term solar UV exposure is a well-known cause of skin aging, as is cigarette smoke, which contains a number of chemicals. In this study, combined effect of UVA and cigarette sidestream smoke (CSS) on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) induction was investigated.

With the rising global cancer burden, the dependency on chemotherapy also rises along with the complication of chemoresistance development. Studies on multi-drug resistant proteins provide a wide range of regulators, although the exact mechanism is not yet clearly understood. Epigenetic modifications play a vital role in the regulation of cellular processes and also in determining the efficacy of cancer therapy by modulating resistance development and tumor progression.
