Targeting Radiation-Induced G2 Checkpoint Activation with the Wee-1 Inhibitor MK-1775 in Glioblastoma Cell Lines
12 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to determine the capacity of MK-1775, a potent Wee-1 inhibitor, to abrogate the radiation-induced G(2) checkpoint arrest and modulate radiosensitivity in glioblastoma cell models and normal human astrocytes. The radiation-induced checkpoint response of established glioblastoma cell lines, glioblastoma neural stem (GNS) cells, and astrocytes were determined in vitro by flow cytometry...
