Remarkable Synergy When Combining EZH2 Inhibitors with YM155 Is H3K27me3-Independent

Targeting multiple molecules in the same biological network may maximize therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we identified a 27-gene module that is highly expressed in solid tumors, encoding actionable targets including EZH2 and BIRC5. The combination of EZH2 inhibitors and a BIRC5 inhibitor, YM155, results in a remarkable synergistic effect. The action of EZH2 inhibitors in this process is independent of the histone methyltransferase activity of polycomb repressive complex 2. Our study reveals a potential therapeutic approach for treating solid tumors by simultaneously targeting EZH2 and BIRC5.

Cat.No. Product Name Information
S1130 Sepantronium Bromide (YM155) Sepantronium Bromide(YM155) is a potent survivin suppressant by inhibiting Survivin promoter activity with IC50 of 0.54 nM in HeLa-SURP-luc and CHO-SV40-luc cells; does not significantly inhibit SV40 promoter activity, but is observed to slightly inhibit the interaction of Survivin with XIAP. YM155 down-regulates survivin and XIAP, modulates autophagy and induces autophagy-dependent DNA damage in breast cancer cells. Phase 2.
