HDAC Class I Inhibitor Domatinostat Preferentially Targets Glioma Stem Cells over Their Differentiated Progeny.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are in general characterized by higher resistance to cell death and cancer therapies than non-stem differentiated cancer cells. However, we and others have recently revealed using glioma stem cells (GSCs) as a model that, unexpectedly, CSCs have specific vulnerabilities that make them more sensitive to certain drugs compared with their differentiated counterparts. We aimed in this study to discover novel drugs targeting such Achilles' heels of GSCs as anti-GSC drug candidates to be used for the treatment of glioblastoma, the most therapy-resistant form of brain tumors. Here we report that domatinostat (4SC-202), a class I HDAC inhibitor, is one such candidate. At concentrations where it showed no or minimal growth inhibitory effect on differentiated GSCs and normal cells, domatinostat effectively inhibited the growth of GSCs mainly by inducing apoptosis. Furthermore, GSCs that survived domatinostat treatment lost their self-renewal capacity. These results suggested that domatinostat is a unique drug that selectively eliminates GSCs not only physically by inducing cell death but also functionally by inhibiting their self-renewal. Our findings also imply that class I HDACs and/or LSD1, another target of domatinostat, may possibly have a specific role in the maintenance of GSCs and therefore could be an attractive target in the development of anti-GSC therapies.
