CHK1 Inhibition in Breast Cancer: ER/PR-Dependent Effects
2026-08-13
The reference study shows that CHK1 inhibition is not uniformly useful across breast cancer subtypes: it enhances adriamycin sensitivity in ER-/PR-/HER2- disease but has limited chemosensitizing value in ER+/PR+/HER2- cells. Its most important contribution is a receptor-context framework linking CHK1 inhibition to distinct cell-cycle, transcriptional, and apoptotic mechanisms.
