Targeted inhibition of CDK7 reverses chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer. A Western blotting of TB32047 and MIA PaCa-2 gemcitabine- and paclitaxel-resistant cells (TBGPR, MIAR) and parental cells (TBWT, MIAWT). B The CDK7 inhibitor THZ1 synergistically enhances the antiproliferative effects of GEM and PTX in TBGPR and MIAGPR cells. The proliferation was determined after 72 h of treatment with THZ1 and GEM/PTX alone or in combination. Below is a plot of the fraction impacted versus the combination index. CI < 1.0, synergism. C Diagrammatic representation of the research outcome. Gemcitabine and paclitaxel combined with CDK7 inhibition induces DNA damage, G2-M arrest, and subsequent apoptosis
