CDC2-like (CLK) protein kinase inhibition as a novel targeted therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer
Abstract Dysregulation of alternative splicing is a feature of cancer, both in aetiology and progression. It occurs because of mutations in splice sites or sites that regulate splicing, or because of the altered expression and activity of splice factors and of splice factor kinases that regulate spl...

Abstract Dysregulation of alternative splicing is a feature of cancer, both in aetiology and progression.

We measured the effect of the CLK inhibitor, the benzothiazole TG003, on two prostate cancer cell lines. TG003 reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis in PC3 and DU145 cells.
