초록

It has been known that ATM plays a central role in response of cells to ionizing radiation by enhancing DNA repair. We have investigated the feasibility of increasing radiosensitivity of tumor cells with the use of ATM inhibitors such as caffeine, pentoxifylline and wortmannin. Human colorecta1 cancer RKO.C cells and RKO-ATM cells (RKO cells overexpressing ATM) were used in the present study. (omitted)
