Combined poly-ADP ribose polymerase and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated/Rad3-related inhibition targets ataxia-telangiectasia mutated-deficient lung cancer cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Up to 40% of lung adenocarcinoma have been reported to lack ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein expression. We asked whether ATM-deficient lung cancer cell lines are sensitive to poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and determined the mechanism of action of olaparib in ATM-deficient A549 cells.

Methods

We analysed drug sensitivity data for olaparib and talazoparib in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines from the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) project. We deleted ATM from A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells using CRISPR/Cas9 and determined the effects of olaparib and the ATM/Rad3-related (ATR) inhibitor VE-821 on cell viability.

Results

IC₅₀ values for both olaparib and talazoparib positively correlated with ATM mRNA levels and
