Nek8 activators primarily interface with the intricate DNA damage response pathway. Agents like Cisplatin, Etoposide, Doxorubicin, and Camptothecin all act as DNA damaging agents, thereby inducing a cascade of cellular responses in which Nek8 becomes consequential. Specifically, DNA damaging agents like Cisplatin induce changes at the molecular level, catalyzing responses where Nek8 is vital for cell cycle checkpoint maintenance.
Another dimension of Nek8 activation arises from replication stress inducers such as Hydroxyurea, Aphidicolin, and Mimosine. These chemicals challenge DNA replication, thereby setting off a chain of responses where Nek8 serves as a sentinel. On the other hand, Forskolin and IBMX delineate the influence of cyclic AMP modulation on cellular processes, potentially bringing Nek8 into play, especially in contexts like cilia-associated signaling.
