Should not alter radiation protocols; hypothesis-generating for kinase inhibition in radiosensitization.
Provides a summary of studies on caffeine's reduction of radiation-induced G2 arrest and suggests future research focus on protein kinase inhibition.
Roy Rowley (1992) conducted a review in Radiation-induced G2 cell cycle arrest. Caffeine and mimicking agents was evaluated on Duration of radiation-induced arrest of cells in the G2 phase. Caffeine and mimicking agents reduce the duration of radiation-induced G2 cell cycle arrest, with their potency ranking suggesting a potential role for protein kinase inhibition.
