From: Novel HDAC inhibitor MAKV-8 and imatinib synergistically kill chronic myeloid leukemia cells via inhibition of BCR-ABL/MYC-signaling: effect on imatinib resistance and stem cells

Fig. 8

Treating CML cells with imatinib in combination with pan-HDACis is a promising therapeutic approach. (a) Boxplots including outliers illustrating fold-change (log2) of HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC3 mRNA expression levels in CD34+CD38- stem cells isolated from healthy (n=7) and CML (n=11) patients (represented by triangles). (b) CML cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of imatinib alone or in combination with MAKV-8. After 24h-incubations, α-tubulin and histone H4 acetylation levels were assessed by western blot, with β-actin and histone H1 as loading controls, respectively. Blots are representative of three independent experiments. SAHA was used as a reference HDACi
