Chemical inhibitors of Ataxia Telangiectasia and Rad 3 kinase (ATR), VE-821 and VE-822, potently sensitize cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cells to UVA radiation. The synergism between VE-821/2 and UVA is not solely caused by specific blocking of ATR kinase, but also due to ATR-independent photosensitization. ATR inhibitors have potential to be used as photosensitizers in photochemotherapeutic regimes for cutaneous lymphomas.
