Abstract
Provided herein is a combination comprising an HDAC inhibitor and an IMiD for increasing interferon regulated gene expression or decreasing c-MYC gene expression in a cancer cell or tumor in a subject in need thereof. Increasing interferon regulated gene expression may result in increased recognition of tumors by innate or adaptive immune system and an increase in programmed cell death (apoptosis) gene expression, increasing apoptosis in cancer cells and tumors. The cells can be multiple myeloma cells or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells. Also provided are methods for treating myelodysplastic syndromes/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) or pathogen infections in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of HDAC inhibitor and an IMiD. The HDAC inhibitor can be an HDAC6-selective inhibitor.
