Ailanthone synergizes with PARP1 inhibitor in tumour growth inhibition through crosstalk of DNA repair pathways in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: In our previous research, we proved that ailanthone (AIL) inhibits the growth of gastric cancer (GC) cells and causes apoptosis by inhibiting P23. However, we still find some GC organoids are insensitive to AIL. We have done some sequencing analysis and found that the insensitive strains are highly expressed in PARP1. In this study, we investigated whether AIL can enhance the anti-tumour effect of PARPi in GC. CCK8 and spheroid colony formation assay were used to measure anti-tumour effects. SynergyFinder software was used to calculate the synergy score of the drug combination and flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. Western blot, IHC, IF tests were used to measure protein expression. Finally, nude mouse xenograft models were used to verify the in vitro mechanisms. High expression
