dUTPase inhibition confers susceptibility to a thymidylate synthase inhibitor in DNA‐repair‐defective human cancer cells
3 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Deficiency in DNA repair proteins confers susceptibility to DNA damage, making cancer cells vulnerable to various cancer chemotherapies. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anticancer nucleoside analog that both inhibits thymidylate synthase (TS) and causes DNA damage via the misincorporation of FdUTP and dUTP into DNA under the conditions of dTTP depletion. However, the role of the DNA damage response to its antitumor...
