Vitamin C increases viral mimicry induced by 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Our work shows a remarkable synergy between physiological levels of vitamin C and 5-aza-CdR. The combination enhances the viral mimicry response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, including the upregulation of endogenous retroviruses in the dsRNA form and the induction of viral defense pathways. Because patients with hematological and other cancers are often markedly vitamin C deficient, the addition of vitamin C to treatment protocols may be a straightforward way to increase the clinical efficacy of such drugs in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and leukemia.

In the citing paper
“For example, on the basis of ascorbate’s known DNA demethylation effects via TET activation, a recent study found that vitamin C enhanced the effect of the DNMT inhibitor 5-aza-CdR (decitabine) by promoting the demethylation of human endogenous retroviruses and amplifying the expression of interferon-stimulated genes, leading to cancer cell death106,107.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
