WEE1 kinase is a therapeutic vulnerability in CIC-DUX4 undifferentiated sarcoma
2021-06-22
Abstract excerpt
CIC-DUX4 rearrangements define an aggressive and chemotherapy-insensitive subset of undifferentiated sarcomas. The CIC-DUX4 fusion drives oncogenesis through direct transcriptional upregulation of cell cycle and DNA replication genes. Notably, CIC-DUX4- mediated CCNE1 upregulation compromises the G1/S transition, conferring a potential survival dependence on the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint. Through an integrative...
