Talazoparib inhibits PARP catalytic activity, trapping PARP1 on damaged DNA and causing cell death in BRCA1/2-mutated cells. We evaluated talazoparib therapy this two-part, phase I, first-in-human trial. Antitumor MTD, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics of once-daily were determined an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study (NCT01286987). The MTD was 1.0 mg/day, with elimination half-life 50 hours. Treatment-related adverse events included fatigue (26/71 patients; 37%) anemia (25/71...

An acquired genetic instability, resulting from the loss of some types DNA repair, is an early event in development a subset human cancers. The involvement BRCA1 and BRCA2 homologous recombination repair (HRR) double-strand breaks implicates this pathway suppression breast cancer. A family proteins related to RAD51, including XRCC2, are essential components pathway. Using site-directed mutagenesis XRCC2 , we show that non-conservative substitution or deletion amino acid 188 can significantly...

Abstract Previous studies have suggested that minor alleles for ERCC4 rs744154, TNF rs361525, CASP10 rs13010627, PGR rs1042838, and BID rs8190315 may influence breast cancer risk, but the evidence is inconclusive due to their small sample size. These polymorphisms were genotyped in more than 30,000 cases controls, primarily of European descent, from 30 Breast Cancer Association Consortium. We calculated odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) as a measure association. found these...

Novel antitumor therapies against the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway are increasingly used to treat cancer, either as single agents or in combination with chemotherapy other targeted therapies. Although these not known be myelosuppressive, an increased risk of infection has been reported rapamycin analogues. However, new inhibitors this such PI3K, AKT, mTORC 1/2, multikinase is unknown.

The XRCC3 variant T241M, but not D213N, has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of some cancers. is one out five RAD51 paralogues and involved in homologous recombination, as are the BRCA1 BRCA2 proteins. However, contrast mutations BRCA2, XRCC3(T241M) protein proficient recombination reverts sensitivity mitomycin C found XRCC3-deficient cells, whereas XRCC3(D213N) defective recombination. Here, we report that both D213N T241M alleles increase centrosome number binucleated...

Inherited mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, whose protein products are necessary for homology-directed DNA repair pathway, confer a dominant susceptibility to cancer. We have investigated whether genes encoding other components same pathway can also affect cancer susceptibility. identified three novel non-synonymous substitutions in one such gene, RAD51-related XRCC3. One these variants, D213N, occurs highly conserved ATP-binding domain completely abrogates ability transfected gene...
