Inhibition of checkpoint kinase 1 potentiates anticancer activity of gemcitabine in bladder cancer cells

Abstract Checkpoint kinases (CHKs) are involved in the DNA damage response in many cancer cells. CHK inhibitors have been used in clinical trials in combination with chemotherapeutics; however, their effect against bladder cancer remains unclear. Here, we investigated the efficacy of combining gemci...
