Inhibition of poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase: A promising strategy targeting pancreatic cancer with BRCAness phenotype.

ABSTRACT: The use of chemotherapeutic regimens for the treatment of pancreatic cancer is still limited because pancreatic cancer is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage as a refractory disease in which symptoms are difficult to recognize in the early stages. Furthermore, at advanced stages, there are important challenges to achieve clinical benefit and symptom resolution, even with the use of an expanded spectrum of anticancer drugs. Recently, a point of reduced susceptibility to conventional chemotherapies by breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutations led to a new perspective for overcoming the resistance of pancreatic cancer within the framework of increased genome instability. Poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase (PARP) -1 is an enzyme that can regulate intrinsic functions, such as response to DNA damage. Therefore, in an environment where germline mutations in BRCAs (BRCAness) inhibit homologous recombination in DNA damage, resulting in a lack of DNA damage response, a key role of PARP-1 for the adaptation of the genome instability could be further emphasized. Here, we summarized the key functional role of PARP-1 in genomic instability of pancreatic cancer with the BRCAness phenotype and listed clinical applications and outcomes of PARP-1 inhibitors to highlight the importance of targeting PARP-1 activity.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors as promising cancer therapeutics.

Project description:The year of 2005 was a watershed in the history of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors due to the important findings of selective killing in BRCA-deficient cancers by PARP inhibition. The findings made PARP inhibition one of the most promising new therapeutic approaches to cancers, especially to those with specific defects. With AZD2281 and BSI-201 entering phase III clinical trials, the final application of PARP inhibitors in clinic would come true soon. This current paper will review the major advances in targeting PARP for cancer therapy and discuss the existing questions, the answers to which may influence the future of PARP inhibitors as cancer therapeutics.

Targeting poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity for cancer therapy.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a ubiquitous protein modification found in mammalian cells that modulates many cellular responses, including DNA repair. The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family catalyze the formation and addition onto proteins of negatively charged ADP-ribose polymers synthesized from NAD(+). The absence of PARP-1 and PARP-2, both of which are activated by DNA damage, results in hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation and alkylating agents. PARP inhibitors that compete with NAD(+) at the enzyme's activity site are effective chemo- and radiopotentiation agents and, in BRCA-deficient tumors, can be used as single-agent therapies acting through the principle of synthetic lethality. Through extensive drug-development programs, third-generation inhibitors have now entered clinical trials and are showing great promise. However, both PARP-1 and PARP-2 are not only involved in DNA repair but also in transcription regulation, chromatin modification, and cellular homeostasis. The impact on these processes of PARP inhibition on long-term therapeutic responses needs to be investigated.

Targeting Poly(ADP)ribose polymerase in BCR/ABL1-positive cells.

Project description:BCR/ABL1 causes dysregulated cell proliferation and is responsible for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph1-ALL). In addition to the deregulatory effects of its kinase activity on cell proliferation, BCR/ABL1 induces genomic instability by downregulating BRCA1. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) effectively induce cell death in BRCA-defective cells. Therefore, PARPi are expected to inhibit growth of CML and Ph1-ALL cells showing downregulated expression of BRCA1. Here, we show that PARPi effectively induced cell death in BCR/ABL1 positive cells and suppressed colony forming activity. Prevention of BCR/ABL1-mediated leukemogenesis by PARP inhibition was tested in two in vivo models: wild-type mice that had undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation with BCR/ABL1-transduced cells, and a genetic model constructed by crossing Parp1 knockout mice with BCR/ABL1 transgenic mice. The results showed that a PARPi, olaparib, attenuates BCR/ABL1-mediated leukemogenesis. One possible mechanism underlying PARPi-dependent inhibition of leukemogenesis is increased interferon signaling via activation of the cGAS/STING pathway. This is compatible with the use of interferon as a first-line therapy for CML. Because tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) monotherapy does not completely eradicate leukemic cells in all patients, combined use of PARPi and a TKI is an attractive option that may eradicate CML stem cells.

Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibition as a Promising Approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Therapy.

Project description:Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in men and seventh in women, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most common form (75-85% of primary liver cancer cases) and the most frequent etiology being viral infections (HBV and HCV). In 2020, mortality represented 92% of the incidence-830,180 deaths for 905,677 new cases. Few treatment options exist for advanced or terminal-stage HCC, which will receive systemic therapy or palliative care. Although radiotherapy is used in the treatment of many cancers, it is currently not the treatment of choice for HCC, except in the palliative setting. However, as radiosensitizing drugs, such as inhibitors of DNA repair enzymes, could potentiate the effects of RT in HCC by exploiting the modulation of DNA repair processes found in this tumour type, RT and such drugs could provide a treatment option for HCC. In this review, we provide an overview of PARP1 involvement in DNA damage repair pathway and discuss its potential implication in HCC. In addition, the use of PARP inhibitors and PARP decoys is described for the treatment of HCC and, in particular, in HBV-related HCC.

Effective natural inhibitors targeting poly ADP-ribose polymerase by computational study.

Project description:ObjectThis study was designed to screen ideal lead compounds and drug candidates with an inhibitory effect on PARP from the drug library (ZINC database).ResultsTwo effective natural compounds ZINC000003938684 and ZINC000014811844 were found to bind to PARP in the ZINC database, showing a higher binding affinity. Also, they were predicted to have lower rodent carcinogenicity, Ames mutagenicity, developmental toxicity potential, and high tolerance to cytochrome P4502D6. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that ZINC000003938684 and ZINC000014811844 had a more favorable potential energies with PARP, which could exist stably in natural circumstances.ConclusionThis study suggested that ZINC000003938684 and ZINC000014811844 were ideal potential inhibitors of PARP targeting. These compounds were safe drug candidates and had important implications for the design and improvement of CMET target drugs.MethodsA battery of computer-aided virtual techniques were used to identify potential inhibitors of PARP. LibDock is used for structure-based screening followed by ADME (absorption distribution, metabolic excretion) and toxicity prediction. Molecular docking was performed to demonstrate the binding affinity mechanism between the ligand and PARP. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to evaluate the stability of ligand-receptor complexes.

The Significance of Targeting Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 in Pancreatic Cancer for Providing a New Therapeutic Paradigm.

Project description:Genome-wide studies focusing on elucidating the effects on cancer progression have enabled the consequent identification of a distinct subpopulation of pancreatic cancer cells with unstable genomic characteristics. Based on this background, deleterious changes by poly (adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP)-1 have been concentrated in oncology. One of the critical functions of PARP-1 is the response to DNA damage, which plays a pivotal role in DNA repair in cancers. PARP-1 also has widespread functions that are essential for the survival and growth of cancer cells. It regulates oxidative stress in mitochondria through the regulation of superoxide and oxidation. PARP-1 is in charge of regulating mitosis, which is a crucial role in tumorigenesis and remodels histones and chromatin enzymes related to transcriptional regulation, causing alterations in epigenetic markers and chromatin structure. Given the significance of these processes, it can be understood that these processes in cancer cells are at the frontline of the pathogenetic changes required for cancer cell survival, and these contributions can result in malignant transformation. Therefore, this review addresses the current molecular biological features for understanding the multifactorial function of PARP-1 in pancreatic cancer related to the aforementioned roles, along with the summary of recent approaches with PARP-1 inhibition in clinical studies targeting pancreatic cancer. This understanding could help to embrace the importance of targeting PARP-1 in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, which may present the potential to find out a variety of research topics that can be both challenged clinically and non-clinically.

Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1 Protein Expression in Normal Pancreas and Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is a most frequent cancer in Europe, and the majority of cases of cancer of the pancreas are diagnosed above the age of 65. Radical surgery is the first curative treatment of pancreatic cancer, and alternative or combined therapeutic options, in particular, consist of adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, with or without radiotherapy. Many factors, including diet and genetics, have been implicated in the development of cancer of the pancreas. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) protein is required for translocation of the apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) from the mitochondria to the nucleus. It is involved in programmed cell death processes. Different PARP-1 gene expression proteins have been observed in various tumors such as lung, ovarian, endometrial, skin, and glioblastoma. We evaluated the expression of PARP-1 protein in pancreatic adenocarcinoma and normal pancreas tissues by immunohistochemistry. Protein PARP-1 in the nucleus was found in all samples (normal pancreas and pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues). No cytoplasmic staining was observed in any sample. PARP-1-positive cells resulted higher in the normal pancreas compared with the pancreas with adenocarcinoma. PARP-1 overexpression in prostate cancer tissue compared with normal prostate suggests a greater activity of PARP-1 in these tumors. These findings suggest that PARP-1 expression in prostate cancer is an attempt to trigger apoptosis in this type of tumor, similarl to that reported in other cancers. This finding suggests that PARP-1-mediated cell death pathways are inhibited in this cancer.

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, an effective radiosensitizer in lung and pancreatic cancers.

Project description:The development of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has revolutionized radiation therapy for lung cancers and is an emerging treatment option for pancreatic cancers. However, there are many questions on how to optimize its use in chemoradiotherapy. The most relevant addition to radiotherapy regimens are inhibitors of DNA repair and DNA damage response pathways. One such class of agents are inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). In this study we examined the effects of the PARP inhibitor LT626 in combination with ionizing radiation in lung and pancreatic cancers. Our study demonstrated that combination treatment with LT626 and radiation effectively inhibited growth in lung and pancreatic cancer cell lines, better than individual treatment alone. Combination treatment also increased expression of γH2AX and 53BP1 foci and upregulated expression of phosphorylated ATM, ATR and their respective kinases. Using in vivo lung cancer xenograft models we demonstrated that LT626 functioned as an effective radiosensitizer during fractionated radiation treatment, leading to significant decrease in tumor burden and doubling the median survival compared to control group. Overall our in vitro and in vivo studies showed that PARP inhibitor LT626 acted synergistically with radiation in lung and pancreatic cancers.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors in Ewing sarcoma.

Project description:PURPOSE OF REVIEW:In 2012, two publications revealed a particular sensitivity of Ewing sarcoma cells to the inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). This review updates the reader on PARP function, the development of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) and the evidence for targeting PARP in Ewing sarcoma. It concludes with a description of ongoing/emerging PARPi clinical trials in patients with Ewing sarcoma. RECENT FINDINGS:PARP has a major role in DNA repair, and is a transcription regulator. The oncoprotein in Ewing sarcoma, EWS-FLI1, is proposed to interact with PARP-1, driving PARP-1 expression, which further promotes transcriptional activation by EWS-FLI1. Thus, there are two rationales for PARPi in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma: to disrupt the interaction between EWS-FLI1 and PARP, and for chemo-potentiation or radio-potentiation. The first clinical trial with a single agent PARPi failed to show significant responses, but preclinical evidence for combinations of PARPi with chemotherapy or radiotherapy is very promising. SUMMARY:Despite initial excitement for the potential of PARPi as single agent therapy in Ewing sarcoma, the emerging preclinical data now strongly support testing PARPi in combination with chemo/radiotherapy clinically.

Pharmacological ascorbate induces 'BRCAness' and enhances the effects of Poly(ADP-Ribose) polymerase inhibitors against BRCA1/2 wild-type ovarian cancer.

Project description:The promise of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) in the management of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is hampered by the limited clinical activity against BRCA wild-type or homologous recombination-proficient EOC. In order to decrease the resistance and increase the efficacy of PARPis, combination treatments of pharmacological ascorbate and PARPis in preclinical BRCA wild-type EOC models were investigated. The cytotoxicity of pharmacological ascorbate, olaparib and veliparib in a panel of BRCA1/2 wild-type EOC cell lines were measured using MTT assays. Poly(ADP-ribose) levels were quantified using chemiluminescent ELISA. The expression of proteins involved in DNA damage and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathways were assessed by western blotting. The in vivo efficacy of pharmacological ascorbate, olaparib and their combination was evaluated in an intraperitoneal xenograft mouse model of BRCA1/2 wild-type EOC. Pharmacological ascorbate induced H2O2-dependent cytotoxicity in BRCA1/2 wild-type EOC cells. SHIN3 and OVCAR5 cells were resistant to olaparib and veliparib treatment; however, the combination of ascorbate with olaparib or veliparib significantly enhanced cell death. Pharmacological ascorbate enhanced the effects olaparib or veliparib by downregulating the expression of BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51. Consequently, the combination of pharmacological ascorbate and olaparib potently enhanced DNA DSBs and significantly decreased tumor burden, ascites volume and the number of tumor cells in ascites in mice bearing BRCA1/2 wild-type ovarian cancer xenografts. The combination of pharmacological ascorbate and PARPis may be a promising therapeutic approach worth clinical investigation in patients with BRCA wild-type or PARPi-resistant EOC.
