Abstract:Mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 genes are common in low grade gliomas and secondary GBM and are known to cause a distinct epigenetic landscape in these tumors. To interrogate the epigenetic vulnerabilities of IDH-mutant gliomas, we performed a chemical screen with inhibitors of chromatin modifiers and identified 5-azacytidine, Chaetocin, GSK-J4 and Belinostat as potent agents against primary IDH1-mutant cell lines. Testing the combinatorial efficacy of these agents, we demonstrated GSK-J4 and Belinostat combination… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
