Abstract Small-molecule inhibitors of PARP are thought to mediate their antitumor effects as catalytic that block repair DNA single-strand breaks (SSB). However, the mechanism action with regard in cancer cells is not fully understood. In this study, we show trap PARP1 and PARP2 enzymes at damaged DNA. Trapped PARP–DNA complexes were more cytotoxic than unrepaired SSBs caused by inactivation, arguing act part poisons enzyme on Moreover, potency trapping differed markedly among niraparib...

Anti-PARP drugs were initially developed as catalytic inhibitors to block the repair of DNA single-strand breaks. We recently reported that several PARP have an additional cytotoxic mechanism by trapping PARP-DNA complexes, and both olaparib niraparib act poisons at pharmacologic concentrations. Therefore, we proposed should be evaluated based on inhibition trapping. Here, novel inhibitor, BMN 673, compared its effects PARP1 PARP2 with two other clinical inhibitors, rucaparib, using...

Inhibition of PARP is a promising therapeutic strategy for homologous recombination-deficient tumors, such as BRCA1-associated cancers. We previously reported that BRCA1-deficient mouse mammary tumors may acquire resistance to the clinical inhibitor (PARPi) olaparib through activation P-glycoprotein drug efflux transporter. Here, we show tumor-specific genetic inactivation increases long-term response olaparib, but these eventually developed PARPi resistance. In fraction cases, this caused...

We recently showed that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors exert their cytotoxicity primarily by trapping PARP-DNA complexes in addition to NAD<sup>+</sup>-competitive catalytic inhibitory mechanism. PARP is drug-specific, with olaparib exhibiting a greater ability than veliparib, whereas both compounds are potent inhibitors. Here, we evaluated the combination of or veliparib therapeutically relevant DNA-targeted drugs, including topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin, alkylating...

Phosphorylated H2AX (γ-H2AX) is a sensitive marker for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), but the variability of expression in different cell and tissue types makes it difficult to interpret meaning γ-H2AX level. Furthermore, assays commonly used detection utilize laborious low-throughput microscopy-based methods. We describe here an ELISA assay that measures both phosphorylated total absolute amounts determine percentage γ-H2AX, providing normalized value representative amount damage....

Abstract Purpose: Only one chemical class of topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitors is FDA approved, the camptothecins with irinotecan and topotecan widely used. Because their limitations (chemical instability, drug efflux-mediated resistance, diarrhea), novel TOP1 are warranted. Indenoisoquinoline non-camptothecin overcome instability resistance that limit camptothecin use. Three indenoisoquinolines, LMP400 (indotecan), LMP776 (indimitecan), LMP744, were examined in a phase study for...
