Pancreatic cancer is one of the most leading causes of cancer death worldwide. The rapid development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and precision medicine promote us to seek potential targets for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Here, we report a female pancreatic cancer patient who underwent radical surgical excision after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After the surgery, the patient underwent gemcitabine + S-1 therapy, capecitabine + albumin paclitaxel therapy and irinotecan therapy successively, however, MRI review revealed tumor progression. The surgical tissue sample was subjected to next-generation sequencing (NGS), and PALB2 germline mutation and KRAS somatic mutation were identified. The patient then received olaparib (a PARP inhibitor) + irinotecan and the disease stabilized for one year. Due to the increased CA19-9, treatment of the patient with a combination of trametinib (a MEK inhibitor) and hydroxychloroquine resulted in stable disease (SD) with a significant decrease of CA19-9. This case demonstrated that the NGS may be a reliable method for finding potential therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer.

AbstractPoly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors elicit antitumour activity in homologous recombination-defective cancers by trapping PARP1 in a chromatin-bound state. How cells process trapped PARP1 remains unclear. Using wild-type and a trapping-deficient PARP1 mutant combined with rapid immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry of endogenous proteins and Apex2 proximity labelling, we delineated mass spectrometry-based interactomes of trapped and non-trapped PARP1. These analyses identified an interaction between trapped PARP1 and the ubiquitin-regulated p97 ATPase/segregase. We found that following trapping, PARP1 is SUMOylated by PIAS4 and subsequently ubiquitylated by the SUMO-targeted E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF4, events that promote recruitment of p97 and removal of trapped PARP1 from chromatin. Small-molecule p97-complex inhibitors, including a metabolite of the clinically used drug disulfiram (CuET), prolonged PARP1 trapping and enhanced PARP inhibitor-induced cytotoxicity in homologous recombination-defective tumour cells and patient-derived tumour organoids. Together, these results suggest that p97 ATPase plays a key role in the processing of trapped PARP1 and the response of tumour cells to PARP inhibitors.

BackgroundWhether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS) against primary debulking surgery (PDS) has a differential effect on prognosis due to Breast Cancer Susceptibility Genes (BRCA)1/2 mutations has not been confirmed by current studies.MethodsAll patients included in this retrospective study were admitted to Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 2009 and June 2020, and germline BRCA1/2 mutation were tested. Patients in stage IIIB, IIIC, and IV, re-staged by International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2014, were selected for analysis. All patients with NAC received 1-5 cycles of platinum-containing (carboplatin, cisplatin, or nedaplatin) chemotherapy. Patients who received maintenance therapy after chemotherapy were not eligible for this study. All relevant medical records were collected.ResultsA total of 322 patients were enrolled, including 112 patients with BRCA1/2 mutations (BRCAmut), and 210 patients with BRCA1/2 wild-type (BRCAwt). In the two groups, 40 BRCAmut patients (35.7%) and 69 BRCAwt patients (32.9%) received NAC. The progression-free survival (PFS) of BRCAmut patients was significantly reduced after NAC (median: 14.9 vs. 18.5 months; p=0.023); however, there was no difference in overall survival (OS) (median: 75.1 vs. 72.8 months; p=0.798). Whether BRCAwt patients received NAC had no significant effect on PFS (median: 13.5 vs. 16.0 months; p=0.780) or OS (median: 54.0 vs. 56.4 months; p=0.323). Multivariate analyses in BRCAmut patients showed that the predictors of prolonged PFS were PDS (p=0.001), the absence of residual lesions (p=0.012), and FIGO III stage (p=0.020); Besides, PARP inhibitor was the independent predictor for prolonged OS in BRCAmut patients (p=0.000), for BRCAwt patients, the absence of residual lesions (p=0.041) and history of PARP inhibitors (p=0.000) were beneficial factors for OS prolongation.ConclusionsFor ovarian cancer patients with FIGO IIIB, IIIC, and IV, NAC-IDS did not adversely affect survival outcomes due to different BRCA1/2 germline mutational status.

First-line treatments for oral cancer typically include surgery, radiation, and in some cases, chemotherapy. Radiation and oral cancer chemotherapeutics confer cytotoxicity largely by inducing DNA damage, underscoring the importance of the cellular DNA damage repair and response pathways in cancer therapy. However, tumor recurrence and acquired resistance, following the initial response to treatment, remains as a major clinical challenge. By analyzing oral tumor cells derived from the primary and recurrent tumors of the same patient, our study revealed upregulated PARP1 expression in the recurrent tumor cells. Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil treatment further augmented PARP1 expression in the recurrent, but not the primary, tumor cells. Post-treatment upregulation of PARP1 was dependent on the catalytic activities of PARP and CDK7. Consistent with the established function of PARP1 in DNA repair, we showed that overexpression of PARP1 rendered the primary tumor cells highly resistant to DNA damage treatment. Conversely, PARP inhibition partially reversed the treatment resistance in the recurrent tumor cells; combinatorial treatment using a PARP inhibitor and cisplatin/5-fluorouracil significantly sensitized the tumor response in vivo. Taken together, we reported here PARP1 upregulation as a clinically relevant mechanism involved in oral cancer recurrence, and suggested the clinical benefit of PARP inhibitors, currently approved for the treatment of several other types of cancer, in oral cancer.

Background: Cancer of the endometrium is the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries and the second most common in developing countries. Endometrioid tumors tend to have a favorable prognosis and typically present at an early stage with abnormal uterine bleeding. Clear cell carcinoma as well as serous endometrial carcinoma are associated with a poorer prognosis. Patients with metastatic endometrial cancer are treated with systemic therapy either following surgery or as primary therapy. As far as second-line chemotherapy is concerned, there are no general agreements on the chemotherapy to be used. Furthermore, to the best of knowledge, there are no studies on the use of poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in endometrial cancer even in BRCA mutated tumors. Case Report: We here present the case report of an 81-year-old woman with a mutated BRCA2 metastatic clear cell endometrial adenocarcinoma that showed an excellent clinical and radiological response to the PARP inhibitor olaparib. Conclusion: Olaparib could be successfully used in this patient setting.

BackgroundTriple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous breast cancer subtype with a poor prognosis due to its extremely aggressive nature and lack of effective treatment options. This study aims to summarize the current hotspots of TNBC research and evaluate the TNBC research trends, both qualitatively and quantitatively.MethodsScientific publications of TNBC-related studies from January 1, 2010 to October 17, 2020 were obtained from the Web of Science database. The BICOMB software was used to obtain the high-frequency keywords layout. The gCLUTO was used to produce a biclustering analysis on the binary matrix of word-paper. The co-occurrence and collaboration analysis between authors, countries, institutions, and keywords were performed by VOSviewer software. Keyword burst detection was performed by CiteSpace.ResultsA total of 12,429 articles related to TNBC were identified. During 2010-2020, the most productive country/region and institution in TNBC field was the USA and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, respectively. Cancer Research, Journal of Clinical Oncology, and Annals of Oncology were the first three periodicals with maximum publications in TNBC research. Eight research hotspots of TNBC were identified by co-word analysis. In the core hotspots, research on neoadjuvant chemotherapy, paclitaxel therapy, and molecular typing of TNBC is relatively mature. Research on immunotherapy and PARP inhibitor for TNBC is not yet mature but is the current focus of this field. Burst detection of keywords showed that studies on TNBC proteins and receptors, immunotherapy, target, and tumor cell migration showed bursts in recent three years.ConclusionThe current study revealed that TNBC studies are growing. Attention should be paid to the latest hotspots, such as immunotherapy, PARP inhibitors, target, and TNBC proteins and receptors.

Abstract Background: Ovarian cancer has the highest fatality rate among patients with gynaecological tumours. Current therapies including poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have limitations due to the frequent recurrence of ovarian cancer after treatment and resistance to therapy.Methods: In this study, we used multiple models with different genetic backgrounds to investigate the potential synergism effect and mechanism between the bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) inhibitor AZD5153 and the PARP inhibitor Olaparib. The models were two-dimensional (2D) and 3D cell lines, patient-derived organoids (PDO) and patient-derived xenografts (PDX). Results: Cotreatment with Olaparib and AZD5153 exhibited marked synergistic effects, and significantly attenuated cell viability, whereas it increased DNA replication fork instability, chromosomal breakage and apoptosis compared to treatment with either drug alone. Mechanistically, the tumor upregulates PTEN after Olaparib treatment to make its DNA and chromosome more stable and therefore induces Olaparib resistance. AZD5153 can downregulate PTEN to reverse Olaparib resistance and thus increase joint lethal effect with Olaparib.Conclusion: This study reveals that AZD5153 can downregulate PTEN to reverse Olaparib resistance and thus increase joint lethal effect on DNA replication fork instability, chromosomal breakage, and apoptosis with Olaparib.
