Activation of SIRT6 by DNA hypomethylating agents and clinical consequences on combination therapy in leukemia
Abstract The FDA-approved DNA hypomethylating agents (DHAs) like 5-azacytidine (5AC) and decitabine (DAC) demonstrate efficacy in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. Despite previous reports that showed histone acetylation changes upon using these agents, the exact mechanism underpinning thes...
