Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) plays a fundamental role in the spatiotemporal control of mitosis. Cells lacking PLK1 activity exhibit characteristic chromosome misalignment due to defects in microtubule-kinetochore organization and attachment. In our recently published paper, we uncover a new role for PLK1 in the preservation and maintenance of centromere integrity.

PLK1 inhibition impairs erythroid differentiation.

Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), a key regulator of the G2/M phase in mitosis, is frequently overexpressed in numerous tumors. Although PLK1 inhibitors have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for cancer, their use has been linked to significant anemia in a subset of patients, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we utilized an human umbilical cord blood-derived CD34 cell-based erythroid differentiation system, alongside a murine model, to investigate the impact of PLK1 inhibitors on erythropoiesis.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) presents significant treatment challenges due to its complex etiology and late-stage diagnosis. The traditional Chinese medicine Selaginella doederleinii Hieron (S. doederleinii) has shown potentiality in NPC treatment due to its multi-target, multi-pathway anti-cancer mechanisms.

Background: Mitosis and cytokinesis are regulated by reversible phosphorylation events controlled by kinases and phosphatases. Drosophila Polo kinase, like its human ortholog PLK1, plays several roles in this process. Multiple mechanisms contribute to regulate Polo/PLK1 activity, localization and interactions.

Incomplete sister centromere decatenation results in centromeric ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs). PICH (PLK1-interacting checkpoint helicase), a DNA translocase, plays a crucial role in UFB resolution by recruiting UFB-binding proteins and stimulating topoisomerase IIα. However, the involvement of distinct PICH functions in UFB resolution remains ambiguous.
