ABSTRACT
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly aggressive disease with high mortality and recurrence rates, for which novel therapeutic approaches are required. Hybrid anticancer agents with dual effects have been reported to possess therapeutic potential to treat AML. However, the efficacy and underlying toxicity of these hybrids in combination with other agents remain unclear. NL101 is a novel hybrid formed by fusing the DNA damageinducing agent bendamustine with the histone deacetylase inhibitor vorinostat. In the present study, NL101 treatment was combined with the conventional chemotherapeutic drug daunorubicin (DNR) in AML cells, and it was revealed that these two compounds exerted synergistic antiAML effects. In addition, NL101 enhanced DNRinduced cell apoptosis, as assessed by flow cytometry and as indicated by the upregulation of cleavedpoly (ADPribose) polymerase, cleavedcaspase3, cleavedcaspase7, BAD and BIM. Mechanistically, the DNA doublestrand breaks marker γH2AX, and other proteins associated with DNA damage, were investigated, and it was demonstrated that NL101 in combination with DNR synergistically promoted the DNA damage response. In vivo, this combination significantly delayed the progression of AML and prolonged the survival time in mice. Collectively, the present results suggested that NL101 in combination with daunorubicin could be an alternative novel therapeutic strategy for treating leukemia.
