Abstract

SLFN11 expression correlates with sensitivity of tumors to topoisomerase and DNA-targeting drugs and consequently with prognosis. Regulation of SLFN11 by ETS factors opens new avenues to treatment optimization, maximizing antitumor activity and minimizing adverse side effects. Interrogating drug-induced gene expression signatures for SLFN11 modulations may affect the design of therapeutic regimens.
