p53‐dependent G1 arrest in 1st or 2nd cell cycle may protect human cancer cells from cell death after treatment with ionizing radiation and Chk1 inhibitors
29 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to explore the strategy of combining Chk1 inhibitors with ionizing radiation (IR) to selectively target p53-deficient cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Survival and cell cycle progression were measured in response to IR and the Chk1 inhibitors, UCN-01 and CEP-3891, in colon carcinoma HCT116 p53+/+ and p53-/- cells, and in osteosarcoma U2OS-VP16 cells with conditional...
