Thioredoxin Control of CHK1 Inhibitor Sensitivity
2026-09-16
This Nature Communications study identifies thioredoxin 1 as a determinant of CHK1 inhibitor sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer and links that effect to redox control of ribonucleotide reductase and deoxynucleotide availability. The findings provide a mechanistic basis for combining CHK1 inhibition with thioredoxin reductase disruption, while also highlighting the need for biomarker-guided validation beyond single-model experiments.
