The present invention contemplates a method to identify subjects that either have a tumor, or are at risk for tumor development, that are responsive to various inhibitors of an activated-Chk2 protein. Such Chk2 inhibitors may comprise a benzimidazole core structure, and derivatives thereof. Other Chk2 inhibitors may comprise nucleic acids, such as silencing interference RNA's specific for a Chk2 expression. Other Chk2 inhibitors may comprises proteins, such as antibodies. For example, the present invention contemplates that when a Chk2 inhibitor is administered during, or after, ionizing radiation tumor cell apoptosis is increased.
本发明考虑了一种用于识别患有肿瘤或患有肿瘤风险、对激活的Chk2蛋白的各种抑制剂具有响应的受试者的方法。这些Chk2抑制剂可能包括苯并咪唑核结构及其衍生物。其他Chk2抑制剂可能包括核酸,例如特异于Chk2表达的沉默干扰RNA。其他Chk2抑制剂可能包括蛋白质,例如抗体。例如,本发明考虑了当在电离辐射期间或之后给予Chk2抑制剂时,肿瘤细胞凋亡增加。
