Serine/Threonine Kinase 17A Is a Novel p53 Target Gene and Modulator of Cisplatin Toxicity and Reactive Oxygen Species in Testicular Cancer Cells
14 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Testicular cancer is highly curable with cisplatin-based therapy, and testicular cancer-derived human embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells undergo a p53-dominant transcriptional response to cisplatin. In this study, we have discovered that a poorly characterized member of the death-associated protein family of serine/threonine kinases, STK17A (also called DRAK1), is a novel p53 target gene. Cisplatin-mediated induction...
