Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancer diseases in the human body, especially due to the lack of effective therapies in advanced stages. In the past, histone deacetylases (HDACs) showed to be applicable targets. Yet, HDAC inhibitors show no relevance in therapy of PDAC. Therefore, a drug-screening containing 101 agents with different mode of actions was performed using murine isogenic HDAC-2 proficient and deficient cell lines, and ferroptosis-inducer Erastin was found as a potential partner for a combination therapy with HDAC inhibition.
