Treatment with the Chk1 inhibitor G�6976 enhances cisplatin cytotoxicity in SCLC cells
5 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Acquired chemoresistance is a major obstacle in successful treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). DNA damage responses can potentially contribute to resistance by halting the cell cycle following exposure to therapeutic agents, thereby facilitating repair of drug-induced lesions and protecting tumour cells from death. The Chk1 protein kinase is a key regulator in this response. We analysed the status of cell...
