Preferential potentiation of topoisomerase I poison cytotoxicity by PARP inhibition in S phase
8 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Topoisomerase I (Topo I) poisons (e.g., camptothecin (CPT)), used to treat cancer, cause DNA breaks that are most cytotoxic during S phase. PARP-1 promotes DNA repair and PARP inhibitors (PARPi) sensitise cells to Topo I poisons. We aimed to determine whether chemosensitisation is also S phase specific using rucaparib, a potent PARPi in advanced clinical evaluation. METHODS: The impact of rucaparib,...
