Gene Expression Profiles Identify Biomarkers of Resistance to Decitabine in Myelodysplastic Syndromes.

ABSTRACT: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disease characterized by inefficient hematopoiesis and the potential development of acute leukemia. Among the most notable advances in the treatment of MDS is the hypomethylating agent, decitabine (5-aza-2'deoxycytidine). Although decitabine is well known as an effective method for treating MDS patients, only a subset of patients respond and a tolerance often develops, leading to treatment failure. Moreover, decitabine treatment is costly and causes unnecessary toxicity. Therefore, clarifying the mechanism of decitabine resistance is important for improving its therapeutic efficacy. To this end, we established a decitabine-resistant F-36P cell line from the parental F-36P leukemia cell line, and applied a genetic approach e
