Combined experimental and computational analysis of DNA damage signaling reveals context‐dependent roles for Erk in apoptosis and G1/S arrest after genotoxic stress by Andrea R Tentner, Michael J Lee, Gerry J Ostheimer, Leona D Samson, Douglas A Lauffenburger, Michael B Yaffe

“…How these phenotypic fate decisions are determined remains poorly understood, but must derive from integrating genotoxic stress signals together with inputs from the local microenvironment. To investigate this in a systematic manner, we undertook a quantitative time‐resolved cell signaling and phenotypic response study in U2OS cells receiving doxorubicin‐induced DNA damage in the presence or absence of TNFα co‐treatment; we measured key nodes in a broad set of DNA damage signal transduction pathways along with apoptotic death and cell‐cycle regulatory responses. …”
