Abstract:
The invention provides compositions, kits, and methods for inducing growth arrest, differentiation, or senescence of cancer cells that express thymine DNA glycosylase, and treating the cancer accordingly. The methods comprise inhibiting expression or biologic activity of thymine DNA glycosylase in cancer cells. Inhibition of thymine DNA glycosylase in cancer cells may induce the cells to revert to a healthy, non-cancerous phenotype and/or may induce the cells to senesce. Cancer cells include melanoma, lung, prostate, pancreatic, ovarian, brain, colon, recto-sigmoid colon, and breast cancer cells.

Abstract:
The invention provides methods for enhancing the cytotoxicity of DNA damage in cancer cells that express thymine DNA glycosylase, and treating tumors accordingly. The methods comprise inhibiting the expression or biologic activity of thymine DNA glycosylase, and inducing DNA damage in the cancer cells. DNA damage may be induced by administration of bendamustine or gemcitabine to the cancer cells.
