1 Methoxyamine (MX) potentiates IUdR-induced radiosensitization by enhancing senescence in RKO cells BACK TO THE BEGINNING

2 Where we began ● Radiation therapy is a major treatment component in the curative management of most human solid tumors. ● Enhancing tumor cell radiosensitivity to achieve better therapeutic gain in cancer treatment has been the ultimate goal in our group. ● IUdR radiosensitization has been in Dr. Kinsella’s research interest during the past twenty years.

3 Where we are Exploring new adjuvant chemoradiotherapy strategies IUdR + IR: enhancing IR-induced DNA double strand breaks IUdR + MX + IR: DNA BER repair interference IUdR + caffeine/UCN01 + IR: DNA damage G2 checkpoint interference IUdR + HDAC inhibitor + IR: chromatin modification interference

4 Mechanism underlying the enhanced radiosensitization? IUdR + MX + IR

15 Conclusion MX potentiates IUdR-induced radiosensitization not by enhancing apoptosis, necrosis and autophagic cell death but by enhancing senescence.

16 Successful chemotherapy and radiotherapy depend on their ability to trigger tumor cell death Question ● Can we predict the therapeutic efficacy of a cancer treatment strategy using In silico modeling studies? ● Should we model one specific cell death pathway or model all cell death pathways as one entity?

18 Complex system Random DNA damages Cell intrinsic characteristics Different types of cell death Overlap Interdependence Crosstalk Shared events Continuum of events Many events are not controlled in transcription level Complex regulation network Simple system Binary cellular decision LIVE/DIE GO/STOP ON/OFF What is the switch? What is the threshold? DNA damage-induced cell death as a system

19 Question For the modeling of cell death - What are inputs? - What are outputs that are of predictive nature?
