RNA Pol II Inhibition Triggers Apoptosis Beyond Transcriptio
2026-06-08
Harper et al. (2025) reveal that cell death from RNA Pol II inhibition is not caused by passive mRNA decay, but rather by a regulated apoptotic response to the loss of hypophosphorylated RNA Pol IIA. This paradigm shift clarifies the mechanistic underpinnings of transcription-targeting anticancer drugs and opens new avenues for dissecting regulated cell death pathways in oncology.
