ZDHHC8 knockdown enhances radiosensitivity and suppresses tumor growth in a mesothelioma mouse model

Abstract excerpt

Mesothelioma is an aggressive tumor caused by asbestos exposure, the incidence of which is predicted to increase globally. The prognosis of patients with mesothelioma undergoing conventional therapy is poor. Radiation therapy for mesothelioma is of limited use because of the intrinsic radioresistance of tumor cells compared with surrounding normal tissue. Thus, a novel molecular-targeted radiosensitizing agent...
