Targeting the ATR/CHK1 Axis with PARP Inhibition Results in Tumor Regression in BRCA -Mutant Ovarian Cancer Models
19 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Purpose: PARP inhibition (PARPi) has modest clinical activity in recurrent BRCA-mutant (BRCAMUT) high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC). We hypothesized that PARPi increases dependence on ATR/CHK1 such that combination PARPi with ATR/CHK1 blockade results in increased cell death and tumor regression. Experimental Design: Effects of PARPi (olaparib), CHK1 inhibition (CHK1i;MK8776), or ATR inhibition...
