Data_Sheet_1_High Expression of Succinate Dehydrogenase Subunit A Which Is Regulated by Histone Acetylation, Acts as a Good Prognostic Factor of Multiple Myeloma Patients.PDF

Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) will eventually relapse and current treatments have limited effect. Herein, we demonstrate that succinate dehydrogenase subunit A (SDHA) was low expressed in MM patients, and patients with SDHA relatively high expression had long overall survival and progression-free survival. Furthermore, SDHA high expression inhibited proliferation and invasion in MM cell lines and enhanced the anti-tumor and synergistic effect of chemotherapeutics. More importantly, chidamide was proved effective in MM by targeting SDHA, and expression of SDHA was increased by chidamide through acetylating H3K27 site of SDHA. Collectively, high expression of SDHA, which was regulated by histone acetylation and targeted by chidamide, might become a good prognostic factor of MM patients.
