Thioredoxin Control of CHK1 Inhibitor Sensitivity
2026-09-14
A 2024 Nature Communications study identifies thioredoxin 1 as a determinant of checkpoint kinase 1 inhibitor response in non-small cell lung cancer. Its central mechanistic insight is that redox recycling of RRM1 sustains ribonucleotide reductase activity and deoxynucleotide availability, providing a rationale for combining CHK1 inhibition with thioredoxin reductase blockade.
