You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task.
In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Context: The present study aims at investigating the involvement of several genes in the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis in U937 cells, a cell line lacking functional p53 protein, after combined treatment with staurosporine and irradiation.', 'Using a DNA fragmentation assay, flow cytometry and western blot analysis, the molecular basis for the effects of staurosporine in combination with the irradiation of leukemia cells was investigated.', 'Our results indicated that combined treatment led to an increased apoptotic cell death in U937 cells, which is correlated with the phosphorylation of the V-Jun sarcoma virus 17 oncogene homolog (c-JUN) NH(2)-terminal kinase protein (JNK), the activation of caspases, the increase in B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) associated X protein (Bax), the decrease in Bcl xL protein (Bcl-XL) levels, the loss of mitochondria membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c.\Question: Does staurosporine modulate radiosensitivity and radiation-induced apoptosis in U937 cells?
Output:
Abrogation of the G2 checkpoint should be an effective strategy against p53-deficient leukemia cells to irradiation-induced cell killing.
