Abstract:Elevated ribosome biogenesis in oncogene-driven cancers is commonly targeted by DNAdamaging cytotoxic drugs. Our first-in-man trial of CX-5461, a novel, less genotoxic agent that specifically inhibits ribosome biogenesis via suppression of RNA Polymerase I transcription, revealed single agent efficacy in refractory blood cancers. Here we show that the marked improvement in the in vivo efficacy of CX-5461 in combination with PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 pathway inhibitors is associated with specific suppression of translati… Show more
“…Polysome profiling analysis was performed as described in ( 57 ). HEK293T cells transfected with GFP, GFP-poly-K, or GFP-102×PR were incubated with 100 μg/ml of cycloheximide (Sigma-Aldrich # 01810-1G) for 5 min prior to harvest.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
