Despite all the progress made in treating multiple myeloma, it still remains an incurable disease. Patients are left with a median survival of 4-5 years. The combined treatment of multiple myeloma with histone deacetylase inhibitors and cytokine-induced killer cells provides a promising targeted treatment option for patients. This study investigated the impact of a combined treatment compared to treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors. The experiments revealed that a treatment with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors could reduce cell viability to 59\% for KMS 18 cell line and 46\% for the U-266 cell line. The combined treatment led to a decrease of cell viability to 33\% for KMS 18 and 27\% for the U-266 cell line, thus showing a significantly better efficacy than the single treatment.}, language = {en} }
