Abstract

- Epigenetic code modifications by histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) have recently been proposed as potential new therapies for hematological malignancies. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of aggressive lymphoma. At present, standard first line treatment for DLBCL patients is the antracycline-based chemotherapy regimen CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) combined with the monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody rituximab (R-CHOP). Since only 50-60% of patients reach a long-time cure by this treatment, there is an urgent need for novel treatment strategies to increase the response and long-term remission to initial R-CHOP therapy. In this study, we investigated the effect of the HDAC inhibitor valproic acid (VPA) on DLBCL cell lines. To elucidate the effects of VPA on chemo-sensitivity, we used a cell-line based model of CHOP-refractory DLBCL. All five DLBCL cell lines treated with VPA alone or in combination with CHOP showed decreased viability and proliferation. The VPA-induced sensitization of DLBCL cells to cytotoxic treatment resulted in increased number of apoptotic cell as judged by annexin V-positivity and the presence of cleaved caspase-3. In addition, pretreatment with VPA resulted in a significantly increased DNA-damage as compared to CHOP alone. In summary, HDAC inhibitors such as VPA, are promising therapeutic agents in combination with R-CHOP for patients with DLBCL.
