Enhancing radiosensitisation of BRCA2-proficient and BRCA2-deficient cell lines with hyperthermia and PARP1-i
3 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase1 (PARP1) is an important enzyme in regulating DNA replication. Inhibition of PARP1 can lead to collapsed DNA forks which subsequently causes genomic instability, making DNA more susceptible in developing fatal DNA double strand breaks. PARP1-induced DNA damage is generally repaired by homologous recombination (HR), in which BRCA2 proteins are essential. Therefore, BRCA2-deficient tumour...
