These local groups exist to help game developers of all kinds find community, peers, and support in their area and many provide resources through networking opportunities, educational events, game jams, and more. GDC works with a select group of community partners focused on bringing like-minded game developers together to push the game creation process forward. Through career development sessions and features, GDC is offering a dedicated Career Development Pass which includes a variety of content and networking opportunities available for new graduates and those looking to start their career in games. GDC attendees can expect access to a diverse array of talks aimed at supporting aspiring game devs and highlighting broader issues of advocacy in the game industry through the GDC Advocacy Sessions and beyond. If you are interested in becoming a speaker, please contact the GDC Content Team.

All new GDC speakers are connected with a mentor to provide guidance in crafting powerful presentations. Taken together, we infer that GDC-0575 impairs the development of CAC and colitis by regulating cytokine expression and inhibiting CCR2 + macrophage infiltration in mice colon.ĬHK1 colitis colitis-associated cancer macrophage.As conference organizers, we want to support the game industry by ensuring all attendees feel welcome and included at the Game Developers Conference and we are always looking for new, diverse voices. Furthermore, we report a positive correlation between CHK1 expression and CCL2/CCR2 expression in the malignant tissues of patients with CRC. CCL2 expression was also downregulated by GDC-0575 in both mice with CAC and colitis this was followed by the inhibition of CCR2 + macrophage infiltration in the colon. Significant downregulation of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β and dramatic upregulation of IL-10 were observed in the colons of both mice with CAC and colitis treated with GDC-0575. Moreover, the inhibition of CHK1 expression resulted in efficient inhibition of infiltration by iNOS-positive macrophages, but had no significant effect on CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). We also investigated the correlation between CHK1 and CCL2/CCR2 in human colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues.Īdministration of GDC-0575 significantly inhibited CHK1 expression in the colon and dramatically impaired the development of CAC and colitis in mice. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence were employed to investigate the infiltration of immune cells, and inflammatory cytokine expression in the colon of mice with CAC or colitis was investigated using ELISA and qPCR. We established a DSS-induced acute colitis model and an azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced CAC model using mice and tested the effect of GDC-0575 on them. The present study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of GDC-0575, a CHK1-specific inhibitor, in colitis-associated cancer (CAC) and colitis. Thus, targeting CHK1 is an efficient strategy for cancer therapy. Checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) plays an important role in DNA damage response and cell cycle progression.
