ATM promotes bone metastatic propensity of breast cancer by inducing osteoclastogenesis via the NFκB-CCL2 pathway. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
In vivo experiments confirmed that ATM knockout (ATM KO) or treatment with small-molecule ATM inhibitor KU55933 markedly inhibited osteoclastogenesis of SK-BR-3 cells and the progression of breast cancer bone metastasis. Our results underscore the pivotal role of ATM in regulating NFκB-CCL2 expression and promoting the progression of breast cancer bone metastasis.

Comprehensive multi-omics data to construct hepatocellular carcinoma pathway subtypes and classification model. (PubMed, Comput Biol Chem)
Moreover, our analysis identified six subtype-specific drugs, such as KU_55933 and Cyclophosphamide, that were more sensitive to PS1. In conclusion, this study successfully constructed and evaluated a pathway-based molecular subtype and classification model for HCC, thoroughly investigated the biological and multi-omics differences between subtypes. Additionally, the identification of three telomere-associated biomarkers offers guidance and a theoretical basis for personalized treatment and clinical use of drugs for HCC patients.

Diversity of oxidative stress and senescence phenotypes induced by chemotherapeutic agents in HUVECs. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
HUVECs were treated with DNA crosslinkers (doxorubicin, mitomycin C), topoisomerase inhibitors (etoposide, camptothecin), and methotrexate (MTX)...ROS scavenger Mito-Q and ATM inhibitor KU55933 were co-administered to evaluate their modulatory effects...Chemotherapeutic agents triggered endothelial senescence via DNA damage and ROS accumulation, with heterogeneity in potency and mechanisms. ROS scavengers may mitigate methotrexate-associated vascular toxicity, and targeting ROS could enhance chemotherapy safety by preserving endothelial function.

Identification and external validation of a prognostic signature based on myeloid-derived suppressor cells-related LncRNAs to evaluate survival prognosis and treatment efficacy in invasive breast carcinoma. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Rep)
Among 47 drugs with notable IC50 variations, Ribociclib, PD173074, KU-55933, NU7441, and nutlin-3a exhibited lower IC50 values within the low-risk group, whereas Lapatinib demonstrated greater efficacy among the high-risk group. RT-qPCR validation confirmed the robustness of the model. We successfully verified a new model of molecular markers of MDSCs-related lncRNAs, offering critical insights for predicting outcomes and guiding therapeutic decisions in BRCA cases.

Identification of biomarkers associated with mitophagy in bladder cancer. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
A total of 135 drugs differed in sensitivity between HRG and LRG, including KU.55933...Expression analysis showed that CTSK was significantly downregulated in the BLCA group, while MTERF3, SRC, and CSNK2B were significantly upregulated. In conclusion, CTSK, MTERF3, SRC, and CSNK2B laid the foundation for targeted therapy in the treatment of BLCA.

ATM inhibitors in cancer radiotherapy: Mechanisms, clinical development, and future directions. (PubMed, Eur J Med Chem)
Inhibitors such as KU-55933, KU-60019, and AZD1390 have shown the potential to sensitize cancer cells to radiotherapy by impairing DNA repair, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy...Currently, none have gained approval from the FDA or EMA, but six candidates, AZD1390, AZD0156, ZN-B-2262, SYH2051, WSD0628 and M3541 are in clinical trials, often as adjuncts to radiotherapy or in combination with PARP inhibitors. Their safety and effectiveness, however, are still under investigation. This review synthesizes ATM's dual roles and the therapeutic promise of targeting ATM in cancer radiotherapy.

DDR kinase inhibition causes hypersensitivity to Taxol through caspase-3 activation. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
Pharmacological inhibitors, KU55933 (ATM), NU7441 (DNA-PK), and VE821 (ATR), also sensitized V79, CHO, and U2OS human cancer cells to Taxol. These findings suggest that ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK not only facilitate DNA repair but also suppress Taxol-induced apoptosis via caspase-3. Their inhibition may represent a promising strategy to boost their efficacy of Taxol and potentially enhance responses to radiation therapy through combined targeting of mitotic stress and DDR pathways.

Acetyl alkannin, a Shikonin monomer, inhibits the ATM/DDR pathway by targeting ATM and sensitizes cisplatin in solid tumors. (PubMed, Chem Biol Interact)
In vitro assays showed that DDP activated ATM to initiate the downstream DDR, thereby promoting chemoresistance; inhibition of ATM using KU-55933 or siRNA enhanced the anticancer effect of DDP. In vivo xenograft experiments confirmed the superior tumor growth inhibition of the combination treatment. These findings establish ATM-mediated DDR activation as a central mechanism of DDP resistance and identify acetyl alkannin as a candidate sensitizer for platinum-based chemotherapy.

Combining photodynamic therapy and ATM inhibition using modified bovine serum albumin: A co-delivery nano platform for eliciting pyroptosis and apoptosis to fuel TNBC therapy. (PubMed, Int J Biol Macromol)
Herein, an "all-in-one" tumor-therapeutic nanomedicine named HA@IR780@KU55933@BSA (HIKB) which integrated photosensitizer IR780 with ATM kinase inhibitor KU55933 was designed to facilitate drug delivery and target specific pathways involved in tumor PDT treatment resistance...In vivo evaluations in the TNBC orthotopic xenograft mouse model demonstrated that the designed HIKB NPs could accumulate in tumor tissues and exert synergistic therapeutic effects. Altogether, this study described a self-assembling strategy for constructing an all-in-one nanomedicine that effectively integrates multiple therapeutic modalities to provide a comprehensive and systemic approach to tumor suppression.

Integrative analysis of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs for prognostic risk assessment and tumor immune microenvironment evaluation in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Int J Biol Macromol)
GIHCG's competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) and co-expression networks (CEN) were established, revealing sensitivity to drugs like BMS-509744, YM155, and KU-55933...Moreover, METTL16-mediated m6A methylation regulates GIHCG expression. In conclusion, this study successfully established a prognostic model comprising nine cuproptosis-related lncRNAs, accurately predicting LSCC prognosis, and highlighted the crucial role of GIHCG as a novel nucleic acid biomarker in regulating LSCC progression.

Hepatitis B virus hijacks MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 complex to form its minichromosome. (PubMed, PLoS Pathog)
Interestingly, Mirin, a MRN complex inhibitor which can inhibit the exonuclease activity of MRE11 and MRN-dependent activation of ATM, but not ATM kinase inhibitor KU55933, could decrease cccDNA level...In summary, we identified host factors, specifically the MRN complex, regulating cccDNA formation during HBV infection. These findings provide insights into how HBV hijacks host enzymes to establish chronic infection and reveal new therapeutic opportunities.

Defining the role of Tip60 in the DNA damage response of glioma cell lines. (PubMed, Int J Radiat Biol)
The interaction of Tip60 with ATM and DNA-PK was investigated using the specific inhibitors KU55933 and NU7441, respectively. Downregulation of Tip60 enhances the radiation sensitivity of both glioma cells and markedly elevates the radiation sensitivity when combined with DNA-PKi. Therefore, treatment with DNA-PK inhibitors represents a promising approach to augment the radiation sensitivity of glioma cell lines with deficient Tip60 activity in a synergistic manner.
