Exploiting the dependence of cancer cells on transcription can be used as an effective strategy for targeting aggressive and therapeutically recalcitrant tumors. Wang et al. show that inhibiting transcription using THZ1, a small-molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase CDK7, induces apoptotic cell death in triple-negative breast cancers.
利用癌细胞对转录的依赖性可以作为靶向侵袭性和治疗抗性肿瘤的有效策略。Wang 等人表明,使用小分子 CDK7 抑制剂 THZ1 抑制转录会诱导三阴性乳腺癌细胞发生凋亡性细胞死亡。
