PARP inhibition potentiates the cytotoxic activity of C-1305, a selective inhibitor of topoisomerase II, in human BRCA1-positive breast cancer cells
13 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Two cellular proteins encoded by the breast and ovarian cancer type 1 susceptibility (BRCA1 and BRCA2) tumor suppressor genes are essential for DNA integrity and the maintenance of genomic stability. Approximately 5-10% of breast and ovarian cancers result from inherited alterations or mutations in these genes. Remarkably, BRCA1/BRCA2-deficient cells are hypersensitive to selective inhibition of...
