The p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway Links the DNA Mismatch Repair System to the G 2 Checkpoint and to Resistance to Chemotherapeutic DNA-Methylating Agents
29 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Although human cells exposed to DNA-methylating agents undergo mismatch repair (MMR)-dependent G(2) arrest, the basis for the linkage between MMR and the G(2) checkpoint is unclear. We noted that mitogen-activated protein kinase p38alpha was activated in MMR-proficient human glioma cells exposed to the chemotherapeutic methylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) but not in paired cells made MMR deficient by expression...
