Introduction of WEE1 Inhibitor-based DNA Damage Response-targeting Therapeutic Development Service
WEE1, a pivotal serine/threonine kinase, orchestrates cell cycle progression at the G2/M checkpoint by phosphorylating CDK1 at Tyr15. This prevents premature mitotic entry, allowing DNA repair. Many malignant neoplasms, especially those with compromised TP53 function, often upregulate WEE1. This adaptive response counteracts replication stress and DNA damage, rendering WEE1 a compelling therapeutic target. Furthermore, such inhibition synergistically amplifies the cytotoxic efficacy of conventional DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic agents, ionizing radiation, and perhaps augments benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors.
