Mathematical Modeling Reveals That G2/M Checkpoint Override, Hui Ju Hsieh May 2017

Mathematical Modeling Reveals That G2/M Checkpoint Override, Hui Ju Hsieh

Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)

Cell cycle checkpoints determine whether cells meet requirements to progress through the next stage. In response to DNA damage, how cells activate checkpoints have been well studied, but little is known about checkpoint deactivation (recovery), which directly impacts on cell fate. In tumor cells, the signaling network has been rewired due to epigenetic and genetic alterations, which result in resistance to the cell cycle control, and thus resistance to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Therefore, it is critical to identify molecules required for checkpoint recovery or adaptation after DNA damage.

To achieve this goal, we performed a multidisciplinary study combining reverse …
