Microtubule-disrupting agents such as the taxanes comprise some of most clinically useful chemotherapeutic and invoke spindle checkpoint in proliferating cells. A robust turn may forestall mitotic catastrophe, potentially providing a mechanism that permits cancer cells to survive transient exposure these drugs. Previous reports on G2-M cell cycle progression by histone deacetylase inhibitors suggested potential role modulating therapeutic efficacy microtubule-disrupting agents. As both...

Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous clonal disease associated with unmet medical needs. Paralleling the pathology of other cancers, AML tumorigenesis propagation can be ascribed to dysregulated cellular processes, including apoptosis. This function others are regulated by tumor suppressor P53, which plays pivotal role in leukemogenesis. Opposing P53-mediated activities mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), promotes P53 degradation. Because TP53...
