Abstract excerpt
ADAR1 is an RNA editing enzyme which prevents autoimmunity by blocking interferon responses triggered by cytosolic RNA sensors, and is a potential target in immuno-oncology. However, predictive biomarkers for ADAR1 inhibition are lacking. Using multiple in vitro and in vivo systems, we show that BRCA1/2 and ADAR1 are synthetically lethal, and that ADAR1 activity is upregulated in BRCA1/2-mutant cancers. ADAR1...
