HASPIN kinase inhibitor CHR-6494 suppresses intestinal polyp development, cachexia, and hypogonadism in Apc min/+ mice

HASPIN has been identified as a nuclear Ser/Thr kinase specifically expressed in haploid germ cells. HASPIN kinase inhibitors were recently isolated, and their antitumor activity reported. Colorectal cancer occurs with high incidence worldwide. In this study, we examined whether HASPIN inhibitor CHR-6494 suppresses cancer progression in Apc mice, a familial colon tumor disease model. Mice were treated by intraperitoneal injection of CHR-6494 for...
