Inhibition of DNA Methylation by Antisense Oligonucleotide MG98 as Cancer Therapy


Robert J. Amato

Results of preclinical studies and clinical phase I/II trials suggest that the antisense oligodeoxynucleotide and DNA methyltransferase inhibitor MG98 can safely and effectively lead to reactivation of methylation silence tumor suppressor genes. It is possible that daily or continuous dosing of MG98 might be more active and less toxic than intermittent dosing. Combination of MG98 with other agents having completely different mechanisms of action seems reasonable. One clinical trial now under way is evaluating the use of MG98 in combination with interferon-α in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Because of the current preclinical and clinical evidence, further trials of MG98 as therapy for RCC would be of interest.

Key words: DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, Epigenetics, Hypermethylation, Tumor suppressor genes
