Chidamide (1.00 μmol/L) alone did not have cytotoxic activity, but it significantly increased adriamycin-induced apoptosis in Kasumi-1 and HL-60/ADM cells (Fig. 2b), as well as in CD45 + cells and CD34 + CD38- stem/progenitor cells from AML patients (Fig. 2c). The gene discussed is CD34; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
