3045 Background: The development of strategies to monitor the molecular and cellular response to novel agents that target the cell cycle is vital to provide proof of mechanism and biological activity of these compounds. The protein kinase CHK1 is activated following DNA damage in the S and G2-phases of the cell cycle and mediates cell cycle arrest. In vitro studies demonstrate that inhibition of CHK1 can overcome cell cycle arrest induced by DNA damage and enhance cytotoxic activity of DNA damaging agents. In vivo studies show that combining DNA damaging agents with a CHK1 inhibitor potentiate

TPS512 Background: Targeting cell cycle checkpoints has the potential to enhance the efficacy of chemoradiation therapy. Tumor cells commonly have an abnormal G1 checkpoint due to mutations in the p53 pathway making them reliant on the G2 checkpoint to repair DNA damage. In our preclinical studies, WEE1 inhibition with AZD1775 abrogates the G2 checkpoint and sensitizes pancreatic cancer cell lines and xenografts to chemoradiation. Additionally, AZD1775 attenuates homologous recombination repair and promotes replication stress in cancer cells. Given our preclinical findings, we designed a phase

Abstract:
Abstract Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is rarely curable and therapy resistance often leaves few viable treatment options for patients. Previous studies have identified the importance of cyclin D1 (CCND1) translocation and overexpression in MCL pathogenesis, which leads to increased cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) activity and accelerated cell cycle progression. However, targeting this abnormal cell cycle control, mainly through CDK4 inhibition causes only G1-phase growth arrest without significant cell death (Marzec et al. 2006). In contrast, prolonged inhibition of CCND1 with RNA interference

When activated, the CDKs provide a means for the cell to move from one phase of the cell cycle to the next (G1 to S or G2 to M). The cell cycle serves to protect the cell from genotoxic stress.

ABSTRACT Cell cycle checkpoints are evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways that uphold genomic integrity. Complete inactivation of the mouse checkpoint gene Hus1 results in chromosomal instability, genotoxin hypersensitivity, and embryonic lethality. To determine the functional consequences of partial Hus1 impairment, we generated an allelic series in which Hus1 expression was incrementally reduced by combining a hypomorphic Hus1 allele, Hus1 neo , with either wild-type or null (Hus1 Δ1 ) alleles. Primary Hus1 neo/Δ1 embryonic fibroblasts exhibited spontaneous chromosomal abnormalities an

Previous studies have shown that hyperoxia inhibits proliferation and increases the expression of the tumor suppressor p53 and its downstream target, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21CIP1/WAF1, which inhibits proliferation in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. To determine whether growth arrest was mediated through activation of the p21-dependent G1 checkpoint, the kinetics of cell cycle movement during exposure to 95% O2 were assessed in the Mv1Lu and A549 pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell lines.

Abstract:
The cell cycle represents a series of tightly integrated events that allow the cell to grow and proliferate. Critical parts of the cell cycle machinery are the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which, when activated, provide a means for the cell to move from one phase of the cell cycle to the next. The CDKs are regulated positively by cyclins and regulated negatively by naturally occurring CDK inhibitors (CDKIs). Cancer represents a dysregulation of the cell cycle such that cells that overexpress cyclins or do not express the CDKIs continue to undergo unregulated cell growth. The cell cycle als

The role of CDK1 in PDAC onset and development is two-fold. Firstly, since CDK1 activity regulates the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint, overexpression of CDK1 can lead to progression into mitosis even in cells with DNA damage, a potentially tumorigenic process. Secondly, CDK1 overexpression leads to the stimulation of a range of proteins that induce stem cell properties, which can contribute to the development of cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs promote tumor-initiation and metastasis and play a crucial role in the development of PDAC. Targeting CDK1 showed promising results for PDAC treatment in dif
