Characterization of DNA Demethylation Effects Induced by 5-Aza-2′-Deoxycytidine in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome
15 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Azanucleoside drugs such as 5-azacytidine (Vidaza) and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (decitabine, Dacogen) function as DNA methyltransferase inhibitors in vitro and represent promising new drugs for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of decitabine on the genomic methylation level in MDS patients. Comparison of different assays...
