PJ34, an inhibitor of PARP-1, suppresses cell growth and enhances the suppressive effects of cisplatin in liver cancer cells
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-l (PARP-l) plays an important role in DNA repair, cell death and proliferation, as well as in the stabilization of the genome. Pharmacological inhibition or genetic ablation of PARP-1 had a beneficial outcome in cancer chemotherapy since the cancer cells lacked PARP-1 and were sensitive to chemotherapeutic DNA damage. As a novel potent specific inhibitor of...
