Amplification of the CCNE1 locus on chromosome 19q12 is prevalent in multiple tumour types, particularly high-grade serous ovarian cancer, uterine tumours and gastro-oesophageal cancers, where high cyclin E levels are associated with genome instability, whole-genome doubling resistance to cytotoxic targeted therapies
Abstract Amplification of the gene encoding cyclin E ( CCNE1 ) is an oncogenic driver in several malignancies and associated with chemoresistance poor prognosis. To uncover therapeutic targets for -amplified tumors, we undertook genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9-based synthetic lethality screens cellular models amplification. Here, report that increasing dosage engenders a vulnerability to inhibition PKMYT1 kinase, negative regulator CDK1. inhibit PKMYT1, developed RP-6306, orally bioavailable...
