NADP+ is an endogenous PARP inhibitor in DNA damage response and tumor suppression.

ABSTRACT: ADP-ribosylation is a unique posttranslational modification catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) using NAD+ as ADP-ribose donor. PARPs play an indispensable role in DNA damage repair and small molecule PARP inhibitors have emerged as potent anticancer drugs. However, to date, PARP inhibitor treatment has been restricted to patients with BRCA1/2 mutation-associated breast and ovarian cancer. One of the major challenges to extend the therapeutic potential of PARP inhibitors to other cancer types is the absence of predictive biomarkers. Here, we show that ovarian cancer cells with higher level of NADP+, an NAD+ derivative, are more sensitive to PARP inhibitors. We demonstrate that NADP+ acts as a negative regulator and suppresses ADP-ribosylation both in vitro and in vivo. NADP+ impairs ADP-ribosylation-dependent DNA damage repair and sensitizes tumor cell to chemically synthesized PARP inhibitors. Taken together, our study identifies NADP+ as an endogenous PARP inhibitor that may have implications in cancer treatment.

Project description:BackgroundThere is increasing interest in enhancing the response of the PARP inhibitor olaparib, which is currently approved for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with defects in DNA damage repair associated with germline BRCA1/2 mutations. Moreover, agents that can mimic these defects in the absence of germline BRCA1/2 mutations are an area of active research in hopes of increasing the number of patients eligible for treatment with PARP inhibitors. The extent to which regorafenib, an FDA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor, can be used to enhance the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in PDAC cells without known BRCA1/2 mutations remains to be investigated.MethodsComet assay, cell cycle analysis, western blotting, and immunofluorescent detection of H2AXS139 were used to evaluate the extent to which regorafenib induces DNA damage in PDAC cell lines. The effects of regorafenib, either alone or in combination with PARPi inhibitors, on PDAC cell death were assessed by Annexin V/PI co-staining assay in cell lines and by immunohistochemistry staining for cleaved caspase-3 in mouse tumors and in ex vivo slice cultures of human PDAC tumors. Flow cytometry-based analysis was used to evaluate the ability of regorafenib to reprogram PDAC tumor microenvironment.ResultsWe now show that regorafenib, a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor with efficacy in several gastrointestinal malignancies, can enhance the response of olaparib in pancreatic cancer. While regorafenib induces DNA damage and limits the ability of PDAC cells to resolve the damage, regorafenib by itself does not induce apoptosis. However, regorafenib in combination with olaparib further induces DNA damage in vitro, in tumor-bearing mice, and in ex vivo slice cultures of human PDAC tumors, resulting in increased apoptosis compared to olaparib alone. Notably, we show that the efficacy of the combination treatment is not dependent on cytolytic T cells.ConclusionsTogether, these findings demonstrate that regorafenib can attenuate DNA damage response and potentiate the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in PDAC tumors.

Project description:The DNA repair protein PARP-1 emerged as a valuable target in the treatment of tumor entities with deficiencies of BRCA1/2, such as breast cancer. More recently, the application of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) such as olaparib has been expanded to other cancer entities including colorectal cancer (CRC). We previously demonstrated that PARP-1 is overexpressed in human CRC and promotes CRC progression in a mouse model. However, acquired resistance to PARPi and cytotoxicity-mediated adverse effects limit their clinical applicability. Here, we detailed the role of PARP-1 as a therapeutic target in CRC and studied the efficacy of novel PARPi compounds in wildtype (WT) and DNA repair-deficient CRC cell lines together with the chemotherapeutics irinotecan (IT), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and oxaliplatin (OXA). Based on the ComPlat molecule archive, we identified novel PARPi candidates by molecular docking experiments in silico, which were then confirmed by in vitro PARP activity measurements. Two promising candidates (X17613 and X17618) also showed potent PARP-1 inhibition in a CRC cell-based assay. In contrast to olaparib, the PARPi candidates caused no PARP-1 trapping and, consistently, were not or only weakly cytotoxic in WT CRC cells and their BRCA2- or ATR-deficient counterparts. Importantly, both PARPi candidates did not affect the viability of nonmalignant human colonic epithelial cells. While both olaparib and veliparib increased the sensitivity of WT CRC cells towards IT, no synergism was observed for X17613 and X17618. Finally, we provided evidence that all PARPi (olaparib > veliparib > X17613 > X17618) synergize with chemotherapeutic drugs (IT > OXA) in a BRCA2-dependent manner in CRC cells, whereas ATR deficiency had only a minor impact. Collectively, our study identified novel lead structures with potent PARP-1 inhibitory activity in CRC cells but low cytotoxicity due to the lack of PARP-1 trapping, which synergized with IT in homologous recombination deficiency.

Project description:The members of the Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) superfamily are involved in several biological processes and, in particular, in the DNA damage response (DDR). The most studied members, PARP1, PARP2 and PARP3, act as sensors of DNA damages, in order to activate different intracellular repair pathways, including single-strand repair, homologous recombination, conventional and alternative non-homologous end joining. This review recapitulates the functional role of PARPs in the DDR pathways, also in relationship with the cell cycle phases, which drives our knowledge of the mechanisms of action of PARP inhibitors (PARPi), encompassing inhibition of single-strand breaks and base excision repair, PARP trapping and sensitization to antileukemia immune responses. Several studies have demonstrated a preclinical activity of the current available PARPi, olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, veliparib and talazoparib, as single agent and/or in combination with cytotoxic, hypomethylating or targeted drugs in acute leukemia, thus encouraging the development of clinical trials. We here summarize the most recent preclinical and clinical findings and discuss the synthetic lethal interactions of PARPi in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Despite the low frequency of genomic alterations of PARP and other DDR-related genes in acute leukemia, selective vulnerabilities have been reported in several disease subgroups, along with a "BRCAness phenotype." AML carrying the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or PML-RARA fusion genes or mutations in signaling genes (FLT3-ITD in combination with TET2 or TET2 and DNMT3A deficiency), cohesin complex members (STAG2), TP53 and BCOR as co-occurring lesions, IDH1/2 and ALL cases expressing the TCF3-HLF chimera or TET1 was highly sensitive to PARPi in preclinical studies. These data, along with the warning coming from the observation of cases of therapy-related myeloid malignancies among patients receiving PARPi for solid tumors treatment, indicate that PARPi represents a promising strategy in a personalized medicine setting. The characterization of the clonal and subclonal genetic background and of the DDR functionality is crucial to select acute leukemia patients that will likely benefit of PARPi-based therapeutic regimens.
