Synthetic Lethality of PARP Inhibition and Ionizing Radiation is p53-dependent
28 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are potentially effective therapeutic agents capable of inducing synthetic lethality in tumors with deficiencies in homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA repair such as those carrying BRCA1 mutations. However, BRCA mutations are rare, the majority of tumors are proficient in HR repair, and thus most tumors are resistant to PARPi. Previously, we observed that ionizing...
