Synergistic Effects of DNA‐PKcs Inhibition and Radiotherapy in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 9, 15 May 2026.
Radiotherapy induces double‐strand DNA breaks in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, triggering DNA‐PKcs phosphorylation and activating the non‐homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway, which contributes to radioresistance. Inhibiting DNA‐PKcs disrupts this repair mechanism, enhancing radiosensitivity by blocking NHEJ, amplifying DNA damage, and ...
