Class I histone deacetylase inhibition is synthetic lethal with BRCA1 deficiency in breast cancer cells
5 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) is a tumor suppressor gene, which is frequently mutated in breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA1 plays a key role in the homologous recombination directed DNA repair, allowing its deficiency to act as a therapeutic target of DNA damaging agents. In this study, we found that inhibition of the class I histone deacetylases (HDAC) exhibited synthetic lethality with BRCA1...
