Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)
To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ...
PARP inhibition enhances tumor cell-intrinsic immunity in ERCC1-deficient non-small cell lung cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2019-03-01)
The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of IFN genes (cGAS/STING) pathway detects cytosolic DNA to activate innate immune responses. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) selectively target cancer cells with DNA ...
Clinical BRCA1/2 Reversion Analysis Identifies Hotspot Mutations and Predicted Neoantigens Associated with Therapy Resistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-10-01)
Reversion mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 are associated with resistance to PARP inhibitors and platinum. To better understand the nature of these mutations, we collated, codified, and analyzed more than 300 reversions. This ...
Sirtuin inhibition is synthetic lethal with BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiency.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-11-08)
PARP enzymes utilise NAD+ as a co-substrate for their enzymatic activity. Inhibition of PARP1 is synthetic lethal with defects in either BRCA1 or BRCA2. In order to assess whether other genes implicated in NAD+ metabolism ...
Identification of highly penetrant Rb-related synthetic lethal interactions in triple negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-25)
Although defects in the RB1 tumour suppressor are one of the more common driver alterations found in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), therapeutic approaches that exploit this have not been identified. By integrating ...
MND1 and PSMC3IP control PARP inhibitor sensitivity in mitotic cells.
(CELL PRESS, 2023-05-30)
The PSMC3IP-MND1 heterodimer promotes meiotic D loop formation before DNA strand exchange. In genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis and interference screens in mitotic cells, depletion of PSMC3IP or MND1 causes sensitivity ...
SMG8/SMG9 Heterodimer Loss Modulates SMG1 Kinase to Drive ATR Inhibitor Resistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-11-02)
UNLABELLED: Gastric cancer represents the third leading cause of global cancer mortality and an area of unmet clinical need. Drugs that target the DNA damage response, including ATR inhibitors (ATRi), have been proposed ...
Cancer-associated FBXW7 loss is synthetic lethal with pharmacological targeting of CDC7.
(WILEY, 2023-10-22)
The F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (FBXW7) tumour suppressor gene encodes a substrate-recognition subunit of Skp, cullin, F-box (SCF)-containing complexes. The tumour-suppressive role of FBXW7 is ascribed to its ...
Functional annotation of the 2q35 breast cancer risk locus implicates a structural variant in influencing activity of a long-range enhancer element.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-07-01)
A combination of genetic and functional approaches has identified three independent breast cancer risk loci at 2q35. A recent fine-scale mapping analysis to refine these associations resulted in 1 (signal 1), 5 (signal 2), ...
