| This suggests that cells do not have to be arrested in G2 M phase to be susceptible to WEE1 inhibition, but rather that the inability to activate the G2 checkpoint in the presence of DNA damage leads KU-55933 587871-26-9 to sensitization. In in vivo testing of WEE1 inhibitors, dif ferent approaches have been applied. Mir et al. administered WEE1 inhibitor at 5 consecutive days around the irradiation dose, whereas Hirai et al. first administered DNA damaging agents, followed by WEE1 inhibitor after a 24 hour interval. Both groups showed enhanced anti tumor efficacy. What will be the most optimal schedule for radiotherapy combined with WEE1 inhibition in OS remains to be tested in vivo. Conclusion Radiotherapy is a controversial topic in the treatment of OS. Its efficacy is limited in this cancer and therefore it is not widely applied.<br><br> Novel small molecules, in particu lar WEE1 inhibitor drugs may serve as radiosensitizers in OS. WEE1 kinase is expressed in OS and plays a cri tical role in DNA repair by maintaining the G2 cell cycle arrest through inhibitory phosphorylation of CDC2. Our results show that the WEE1 inhibitor PD0166285 can abrogate the DNA damage induced G2 M cell cycle arrest in OS cells, Linifanib RG3635 forcing the cells into mitotic catastrophe and thus causing radiosensitization. WEE1 could therefore be a strategic, cancer cell specific drug target and its inhibition could be an effective strat egy to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy in OS.<br><br> Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and a major cause of death among women in the Western world, Many anticancer agents, including 5 fluorour acil, cyclophosphamide, and monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab, have shown efficacy in extending LY294002 価格 the survival of breast cancer patients; however, the mechan isms by which these agents inhibit breast cancer pro gression are not clearly understood. Although many promising anticancer agents have been developed and show potential in preclinical trials, classic chemothera peutic agents such as doxorubicin are still widely used in patients, A major problem with the use of chemotherapy to treat many cancers is intrinsic or acquired drug resistance, which results in disease recurrence and metastasis.<br><br> Recent results from several laboratories have investigated the mechanism by which breast cancer cells become resistant to doxorubicin, as well as the molecular profile of breast cancer cells that are resistant to doxorubicin, Bcl xl is responsible for acquisition of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin, leading to decreased apoptosis and increased survival of breast cancer cells, Further more, recent evidence has suggested that the ability of tumor cells to acquire an aggressive phenotype may result from accumulation of genetic alterations con ferred by extended survival, Cox 2 is involved in the inflammatory response and its expression is commonly upregulated in human cancers; therefore, Cox 2 has been suggested to play a major role in tumorigenesis, Recent studies have reported that Cox 2 plays a key role as a regulator of chemother apy resistance in cancer. | |
