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

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.

ODF2L acts as a synthetic lethal partner with WEE1 inhibition in epithelial ovarian cancer models
WEE1 has emerged as an attractive target in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), but how EOC cells may alter their sensitivity to WEE1 inhibition remains unclear.

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)

Inhibition of WEE1 Suppresses the Tumor Growth in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
WEE1 is a tyrosine kinase that regulates G2/M cell cycle checkpoint and frequently overexpressed in various tumors. However, the expression and clinical significance of WEE1 in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) are still unknown.

WEE1 inhibition induces glutamine addiction in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) are aggressive and heterogeneous hematologic tumors resulting from the malignant transformation of T-cell progenitors.

A Wee1 checkpoint inhibits anaphase onset [PDF]
Cdk1 drives both mitotic entry and the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. Past work has shown that Wee1 inhibition of Cdk1 blocks mitotic entry. Here we show that the budding yeast Wee1 kinase, Swe1, also restrains the metaphase-to-anaphase transition by preventing Cdk1 phosphorylation and activation of the mitotic form of the anaphase-promoting complex/
