Novel combination of histone methylation modulators with therapeutic synergy against acute myeloid leukemia in vitro and in vivo

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy with rapid disease progression and often becomes lethal without treatment. Development of effective new therapies is essential to improve the clinical outcome of AML patients. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) play important roles in epigenetic regulation and their altered expressions have been observed in cancer. Although EZH2 and LSD1 have opposite histone methylation functions, we found that both enzymes were paradoxically up-regulated in AML cells.
