Mismatch repair proteins play a role in ATR activation upon temozolomide treatment in MGMT-methylated glioblastoma
6 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The methylation status of the O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter has been widely accepted as a prognostic biomarker for treatment with the alkylator, temozolomide (TMZ). In the absence of promoter methylation, the MGMT enzyme removes O6-methylguanine (O6-meG) lesions. In the setting of MGMT-promoter methylation (MGMT-), the O6-meG lesion activates the mismatch repair (MMR) pathway...
