Mechanisms of Resistance to PARPi in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly fatal disease with limited treatment options. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have shown promise in treating PDAC with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), but rapid acquisition of resistance limits their efficacy. Our objective is to investigate mechanisms of resistance to PARPi in BRCA2-mutant PDAC cells and identify potential therapeutic targets to modulate this resistance. We developed olaparib- and talazoparib-resistant Capan-1 cell lines and characterised their resistance profiles using viability assays, RNA sequencing and metabolomic profiling. We also developed a cisplatin-resistant Capan-1 cell line to compare resistance mechanisms between PARPi and platinum agents. Both olaparib- and talazoparib-resistant cells showed cross-resist
