Moreover, an extended drug screening analysis identified Cytarabine and Clofarabine as significantly synergizing with HDAC6 inhibitor (Ricolinostat) in myeloid leukemia cell lines and in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells, while showing limited synergy in lymphoid leukemia cell lines, PDX, or healthy control cells. Here, HDAC6 is linked to lymphoid leukemia.
