ABSTRACT
Resistance to temozolomide and radiotherapy is a major problem for patients with glioblastoma but may be overcome using the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor ABT-888. Using two primary glioblastoma xenografts, the efficacy of ABT-888 combined with radiotherapy and/or temozolomide was evaluated. Treatment with ABT-888 combined with temozolomide resulted in significant survival prolongation (GBM12 55.1%, P = 0.005; GBM22 54.4%, P = 0.043). ABT-888 had no effect with radiotherapy alone but significantly enhanced survival in GBM12 when combined with concurrent radiotherapy/temozolomide. With multicycle therapy, ABT-888 further extended the survival benefit of temozolomide in the inherently sensitive GBM12 and GBM22 xenograft lines. However, after in vivo selection for temozolomide resistance, the derivative GBM12TMZ and GBM22TMZ lines were no longer sensitized by ABT-888 in combination with temozolomide, and a similar lack of efficacy was observed in two other temozolomide-resistant tumor lines. Thus, the sensitizing effects of ABT-888 were limited to tumor lines that have not been previously exposed to temozolomide, and these results suggest that patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma may be more likely to respond to combined temozolomide/poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor therapy than patients with recurrent disease.
