Efficient induction of apoptosis by wee1 kinase inhibition in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. [PDF]
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) potently inhibits human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth. Here we demonstrated that TGF-β1-induced apoptosis is mediated by decreased phosphorylation of cdc2 at Tyr15 accompanied by down-regulation of Wee1

Investigation into the stability of WEE1 kinase in plants [PDF]
Phosphoregulation is essential for the control of cell division. In yeasts and animals, premature entry into mitosis is prevented by the inhibitory phosphorylation of CDK by WEE1 kinase.

G2 checkpoint targeting via Wee1 inhibition radiosensitizes EGFRvIII-positive glioblastoma cells
Background The gene of the Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one of the most frequently altered genes in glioblastoma (GBM), with deletions of exons 2–7 (EGFRvIII) being amongst the most common genomic mutations.

WEE1-mediated regulation of preMPF and MPF oscillations.
(A) Approximated steady-state protein levels from studies by Ovejero et al. [8] using immunoblot analysis for CDK1T, CCNB1T, WEE1T and CDK1P Y15 (i.e. preMPF) in WEE1-expressing U2OS cells following release from synchronization in M phase.

miR-138-5p Inhibits the Growth and Invasion of Glioma Cells by Regulating WEE1
Background. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the role of differentially expressed miRNAs in glioma progression. Our previous bioinformatics analyses revealed a role of miR-138-5p in glioma.

Combined inhibition of Wee1 and Chk1 as a therapeutic strategy in multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by an abnormal clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells. Despite the introduction of novel agents that have significantly improved clinical outcome, most patients relapse and develop

Acquired small cell lung cancer resistance to Chk1 inhibitors involves Wee1 up‐regulation
Platinum‐based chemotherapy has been the cornerstone treatment for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) for decades, but no major progress has been made in the past 20 years with regard to overcoming chemoresistance. As the cell cycle checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1)

Hsp90 phosphorylation, Wee1 and the cell cycle [PDF]
Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) is an essential molecular chaperone in eukaryotic cells, and it maintains the functional conformation of a subset of proteins that are typically key components of multiple regulatory and signaling networks mediating cancer cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis.
