Fig. 7From: Histone deacetylase inhibition sensitizes osteosarcoma to heavy ion radiotherapyExpression of p53 and p21WAF1/CIP1 is impaired in osteosarcoma xenografts after treatment with HIT and SAHA. Expression of p53 and p21WAF1/CIP1 was analyzed after treatment with DMSO (control), suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), irradiation (HIT) or HIT and SAHA. p53 expression was increased in all SAHA treated tumors compared to the vehicle treated control and only irradiated tumors on day 23 and 45. Increased p21Waf1/Cip1 expression was detected in tumors after SAHA only and SAHA and HIT treatment compared to the controls and the HIT treated tumors on day 8Back to article page
