ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto orçamentário do tratamento com iPARP como primeira linha de manutenção, comparado ao tratamento-padrão a partir de evidências de mundo real sob a perspectiva de um hospital público referência em oncologia no Rio de Janeiro. Métodos: Foi aplicada uma análise de impacto orçamentário para estimar a introdução das tecnologias iPARP, olaparibe e niraparibe, em comparação com o cenário referência, utilizando dados de eficácia e evidências de mundo real, e considerando os custos globais de tratamento da doença em cinco anos. Este estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, CAAE: 95157018.9.0000.5274. Resultados: A análise demonstrou que o cenário referência apresentou um impacto orçamentário no valor de R$ 3.578.768,04 em cinco anos. No cenário alternativo, o custo incremental do olaparibe chegou a ser 23,8% maior, comparado ao niraparibe, atingindo um custo de R$ 23.736.459,20 versus R$ 18.076.951,81, respectivamente. Os parâmetros que apresentaram maior impacto nas análises para a tecnologia olaparibe foram a difusão da tecnologia e o preço do medicamento. Contudo, para o niraparibe, os parâmetros de maior impacto foram a duração do tratamento, a difusão da tecnologia e a dose utilizada, demonstrando maior suscetibilidade de variação. Conclusão: Os iPARP no tratamento de pacientes com carcinoma de ovário avançado, apesar de apresentarem custo incremental de aproximadamente R$ 23 milhões em cinco anos, apontam para uma potencial redução de custos associados à progressão da doença.
Objective: Assess the budgetary impact of treatment with iPARP as a first line of maintenance, compared to standard treatment based on real-world evidence from the perspective of a public hospital reference in oncology at Rio de Janeiro. Methods: A budget impact analysis was applied to estimate the introduction of iPARP, olaparib and niraparib technologies, compared to the reference scenario, using efficacy data and real-world evidence, and considering the global costs of treating the disease in five years. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, CAAE: 95157018.9.0000.5274. Results: The analysis showed that the reference scenario presented a budgetary impact of R$ 3,578,768.04 in five years. In the alternative scenario, the incremental cost of olaparib reached 23.8% higher compared to niraparib, reaching a cost of R$ 23,736,459.20 versus R$ 18,076,951.81, respectively. The parameters that had the greatest impact on the analyzes for the olaparib technology were technology diffusion and drug price. However, for niraparib, the parameters with the greatest impact were the duration of treatment, the diffusion of the technology and the dose used, demonstrating greater susceptibility to variation. Conclusion: iPARP in the treatment of patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma, despite having an incremental cost of approximately R$ 23 million in five years, point to a potential reduction in costs associated with disease progression.

Ovarian Neoplasms , Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase Inhibitors , Analysis of the Budgetary Impact of Therapeutic AdvancesABSTRACT
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a rapidly developing malignant tumor, which is highly heterogeneous and prone to drug resistance, and the prognosis is usually poor. Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors target the DNA damage response pathway, preventing DNA repair, thereby exerting anti-tumor effects. Currently, PARP inhibitors are used as monotherapy or in combination with DNA-damaging agents or immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of SCLC. Although the current research results are limited, it can be seen that PARP inhibitors may be a breakthrough in the targeted therapy of SCLC.
ABSTRACT
The common adverse reactions caused by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors include hematological toxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity and fatigue. The main prevention and treatment of hematological toxicity include: regular blood tests, referral to hematology department when routine treatment is ineffective, and being alert of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia. The key points to deal with gastrointestinal toxicity include: taking medicine at the right time, light diet, appropriate amount of drinking water, timely symptomatic treatment, prevention of expected nausea and vomiting, and so on. For fatigue, full assessment should be completed before treatment because the causes of fatigue are various; the management includes massage therapy, psychosocial interventions and drugs such as methylphenidate and Panax quinquefolius according to the severity. In addition, niraparib and fluzoparib can cause hypertension, hypertensive crisis and palpitation. Blood pressure and heart rate monitoring, timely symptomatic treatment, and multidisciplinary consultation should be taken if necessary. When cough and dyspnea occur, high resolution CT and bronchoscopy should be performed to exclude pneumonia. If necessary, PARP inhibitors should be stopped, and glucocorticoid and antimicrobial therapy should be given. Finally, more attention should be paid to drug interaction management, patient self-management and regular monitoring to minimize the risk and harm of adverse reactions of PARP inhibitors.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (hucMSC-Exo) on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and to clarify the critical role and regulating mechanism of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) 6/poly adenosine-diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) 1 signaling pathway during this process. Methods The hucMSC-Exo was extracted by ultracentrifugation, and identified by transmission electron microscope (TEM), nanoparticle tracing analysis and Western blot. SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group (group S), sham operation+TRPC6 inhibitor SKF96365 group (group SS), renal IRI group (group IRI), exosome treatment group (group EXO) and exosome +TRPC6 inhibitor SKF96365 group (group ES), with 6 rats in each group. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were detected. Pathological changes of renal tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Paller score was calculated. The expression levels of key molecules of necroptosis in rat renal tissues, including receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK)1, RIPK3 and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), TRPC6 and PARP1, were detected by Western blot. Results Typical saucer-like structure was observed under TEM. Nanoparticle tracing analysis showed that the average diameter of the extracted substance was 125.9 nm. Western blot revealed that the surface markers of CD9, CD63 and CD81 were positively expressed, confirmed that the extracted substance was exosome. Compared with group S, the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were up-regulated, the pathological damage of renal tissues was worsened, Paller score was elevated, the relative expression levels of TRPC6 and PARP1 proteins were down-regulated, and the relative expression levels of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL proteins were up-regulated in group IRI (all P < 0.05). Compared with group IRI, the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were down-regulated, the pathological damage of renal tissues was mitigated, Paller score was decreased, the relative expression levels of TRPC6 and PARP1 proteins were up-regulated, and the relative expression levels of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL proteins were down-regulated in group EXO (all P < 0.05). Compared with group EXO, the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were up-regulated, the pathological damage of renal tissues was aggravated, Paller score was increased, the relative expression levels of TRPC6 and PARP1 proteins were down-regulated, and the relative expression levels of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL proteins were up-regulated in group ES (all P < 0.05). Conclusions hucMSC-Exo may alleviate the necroptosis induced by renal IRI in rat models, which is related to the activation of TRPC6/PARP1 signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
@#Parthanatos is a form of programmed cell death,which is also known as poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1(PARP1)-mediated apoptosis-inducing factor(AIF)and macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)-dependent cell death according to its molecular mechanism. Parthanatos is the main cause of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases,such as Parkinson's disease(PD),Alzheimer's disease(AD),motor neuron disease,and is also involved in the pathogenesis of some tumors,such as lung cancer and breast cancer. Therefore,a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanism of Parthanatos is crucial for the therapeutic strategies of related diseases. In recent years,studies have found that effective regulation of the occurrence of Parthanatos by regulating the key proteins PARP1,AIF and MIF is expected to become a therapeutic target for many diseases. Based on the specific molecular mechanism of Parthanatos,this paper reviewed the research progress of therapeutic strategies for related diseases from the aspects of inhibiting and promoting Parthanatos.
ABSTRACT
At present, ovarian cancer is one of the main diseases threatening women's life and health. The mortality ranks first among female reproductive system malignant tumors. Due to the hidden onset, more than 75% of them are at advanced stage once diagnosed. Advanced ovarian cancer is characterized with the Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, very poor prognosis and the 5-year survival rate less than 50%. In recent years, the exploration of maintenance treatment of ovarian cancer is in full swing. A large number of studies show that poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are effective in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Therefore, PARP inhibitors have gradually become an important part for treatment of ovarian cancer, and the indications have also been concerned by clinicians. This paper reviews the application of PARP inhibitors in advanced ovarian cancer.
ABSTRACT
Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are novel agents for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in recent years, and a variety of PARP inhibitors have been reported with clinical evidence for the beneficial. Although these drugs are actually of attributes with pharmacological similarities, due to the discrepancies in the molecular structure and pharmacodynamics, the respective efficacy and safety from clinical circumstances are quite varied. While it comes to the best clinical determination, the optimization for regimen is important on the basis of clinical exhaustiveness for the reports, in addition the laboratory examination for mCRPC, and either the tumorous genetic benchmark are necessarily being calculated.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of niraparib, the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, on the radiosensitivity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to preliminarily investigate its mechanism.Methods:Human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells ECA-109 and KYSE-150 were divided into the control, niraparib, single irradiation, combined (niraparib+irradiation) groups. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay. The changes of cell survival rate were detected by colony formation assay. The changes of cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The number of γH2AX foci was detected by immunofluorescence, and the expression levels of PARP-1, cleaved-PARP, RAD51, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) [extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) ] and p-MAPK (ERK1/2) proteins were determined by Western blot. All data were expressed as Mean±SD. Data between two groups conforming to normal distribution through the normality test were subject to independent sample t-test and multiple groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results:In human ESCC cells ECA-109 and KYSE-150, the proliferation of ESCC cells was significantly inhibited by niraparib combined with irradiation, and the values of average lethal dose (D 0), quasi-threshould dose(D q), survival fraction after 2 Gy irradiation (SF 2) in the combined group were decreased compared with those in the single irradiation group. The effect of irradiation alone on apoptosis of ECA-109 and KYSE-150 cells was limited. Compared to single irradiation group, irradiation combined with niraparib further increased the apoptosis rate in ESCC cells ( P=0.015, P=0.006). In ECA-109 cells, G 2/M phase arrest was significantly increased in combined group compared with irradiation alone group ( P<0.001). In ECA-109 cells, the number of γH2AX foci in combined group was higher than that in the single irradiation group after 2 h, and showed a significantly slower decay of γH2AX foci ( P<0.001). Moreover, niraparib combined with irradiation enhanced the radiation-induced cleavage of PARP-1 and down-regulated the expression of Rad51 and p-MAPK(ERK1/2). Conclusion:Niraparib can increase the radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer cells by inhibiting cell proliferation, promoting cell apoptosis, inhibiting the repair of DNA damage and regulating the MARK-ERK signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of organs is a major challenge for clinicians, but the mechanism is still not elucidated, and the clinical treatment effect is still unsatisfactory. PARP-1-dependent cell death (parthanatos) is a non-apototic programmed cell death pathway involved in the development of the occurrence of IRI of organs. At the same time, parthanatos is also a multi-step pathway. There are many molecules in the parthanatos cascade that can be exploited to create therapeutic interventions for IRI, including PARP1, apoptosis inducing factor (AIF), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). These critical molecules are involved in DNA damage, energy depletion and homeostasis imbalance. Therefore, these molecular signals in the parthanatos cascade represent promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of IRI. In the following, we will elaborate on the mechanisms and molecular characteristics of the parthanatos pathway and the relation between parthanatos pathway and IRI of vital organs. It aims to explore the posibility of IRI mechanism research and clinical treatment and to provide new ideas for clinicians and researchers.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate whether the effects of paeonol （Pae） on angiotensin Ⅱ （AngⅡ）-induced senescence in vascular smooth muscle cells （VSMCs） were related to angiotensinogen of silencing regulatory information factor 6 （SIRT6）/adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase 1 （PARP1） signaling pathway in VSMCs. MethodThe model of VSMC-stress aging induced by AngⅡ （100 nmol·L-1） was established. The rats were divided into normal group， model group， low， medium， and high-concentration Pae groups （30， 60， 120 μmol·L-1）. The positive rate of cell senescence was detected by SA-β-Gal staining， the ability of cell proliferation was detected by the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） method， the expression of SIRT6， PARP1， p16， p21， p53， proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PCNA）， deoxyribonucleic acid （DNA）-damaged protein γ-H2AX was detected by Western blot， and VSMC proliferation was detected by EdU staining. The silenced VSMCs were prepared by siRNA-SIRT6 transfection， and the protein expressions of SIRT6， PARP1， p16， and γ-H2AX in VSMCs silenced by SIRT6 were observed. ResultThe results of SA-β-Gal staining showed that the senescence positive rate of SA-β-Gal staining in the model group was higher than that in the normal group （P<0.01）， and the positive rate of SA-β-Gal staining in the Pae group was significantly lower than that in the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of Western blot showed that as compared with the normal group， the expression of PCNA， SIRT6， and PARP1 in the model group was down-regulated， and the expression of aging-related proteins p16， p21， p53， and γ-H2AX was up-regulated in the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Pae promoted the protein expression of PCNA， SIRT6， and PARP1 and inhibited the protein expression of p16， p21， p53， and γ-H2AX in a dose-dependent manner （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of EdU staining showed that the number of EdU positive cells in the model group was lower than that in the normal group （P<0.01）， and the number of EdU positive cells in Pae groups was significantly higher than that in the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. After SIRT6 silencing， the effects of Pae on promoting SIRT6 and PARP1 and inhibiting P16 were reversed （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In addition， the addition of SIRT6 inhibitor （IN-1） promoted the occurrence of cell senescence induced by AngⅡ （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionPae can effectively inhibit the aging of VSMCs， and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of SIRT6/PARP1 signal pathway.
ABSTRACT
Objective:The real-world clinical data of patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer) who received first-line maintenance therapy with poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) were retrospectively analyzed, and the prognostic factors were preliminarily explored.Methods:(1) The clinicopathological data and follow-up data of ovarian cancer patients treated with PARPi first-line maintenance therapy from August 2018 (PARPi was launched in China) to December 31, 2021 in Sichuan Cancer Hospital were collected (real-world clinical data). (2) According to the different types of PARPi, real-world clinical data were divided into olaparib group and niraparib group, which were respectively compared with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of representative domestic and foreign phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trials (RCT), including olaparib as first-line maintenance therapy for advanced ovarian cancer patients with BRCA1/2 gene mutation (SOLO-1 study), niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy (PRIMA study), and niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy for Chinese advanced ovarian cancer patients (PRIME study). (3) The prognosis of the two groups and the prognostic factors were analyzed.Results:(1) A total of 83 patients were included in this study, with a median age of 51 years (47-57 years), including 75 cases of ovarian cancer, 5 cases of fallopian tube cancer, and 3 cases of primary peritoneal cancer; 5 cases of stage Ⅰ, 9 cases of stage Ⅱ, 55 cases of stage Ⅲ, 12 cases of stage Ⅳ, and 2 cases of unknown stage; neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) was performed in 40 cases and non-NACT in 43 cases; 62 cases had no visible residual lesion after surgery (R0), 9 cases had residual disease lesions <1 cm (R1), 8 cases had residual disease lesions ≥1 cm (R2), and 4 cases with unknown postoperative residual disease. Thirty-two cases had PARPi treatment interruption, 40 cases had PARPi reduction, and 1 case terminated treatment due to acute leukemia. Of the 83 patients, 35 were in the olaparib group and 48 were in the niraparib group. The proportion of patients with high-grade serous carcinoma (100% and 75%, respectively) and the proportion of BRCA mutant patients (91% and 10%, respectively) in the olaparib group were higher than those in the niraparib group (all P<0.01). (2) Compared with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the SOLO-1 study, the olaparib group had only 60% (21/35) coincidence rate; compared with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of PRIMA and PRIME studies, the coincidence rates of niraparib group were only 31% (15/48) and 69% (33/48). The most common reasons for non-compliance were number of chemotherapy courses, histopathological type, and surgical pathological stage. (3) Of the 83 cases received first-line maintenance therapy with PARPi, the median follow-up was 15.9 months (11.3-22.9 months), the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 29.7 months (95% CI: 25.9-33.6 months), and the median overall survival was 49.8 months (95% CI: 47.4-52.2 months). Univariate analysis showed that unilateral or bilateral ovarian cancer, efficacy after platinum-containing chemotherapy, presence or absence of measurable lesions at the end of chemotherapy, and total number of chemotherapy courses were significantly associated with PFS (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that unilateral or bilateral ovarian cancer, total number of chemotherapy courses, and efficacy after platinum-containing chemotherapy were independent factors affecting PFS in stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ patients with PARPi first-line maintenance therapy (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Unilateral ovarian cancer, the total number of chemotherapy courses no more than 9, and achieving complete response after platinum-containing chemotherapy before maintenance therapy are independent influencing factors of PFS benefit in patients with PARPi first-line maintenance therapy. Due to the large differences between the patients in real clinical practice and the research subjects of phase Ⅲ RCT, the results of representative retrospective studies still have important clinical reference significance.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the expression level of poly ADP ribose polymerase 14(PARP14) in thyroid cancer and its relationship with the clinicopathologic characteristics of the patient with thyroid cancer and evaluate the role of PARP14 in the progression of thyroid cancer.Methods:The gene expression interaction analysis (GEPIA) database was used to analyze the expression of PARP14 in normal thyroid tissue and thyroid cancer tissue and its relationship with disease-free survival of patients. The expression of PARP14 in thyroid cancer tissue and adjacent tissues of the patient with thyroid cancer was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. According to the staining intensity, the patients were divided into the high expression group and the low expression group, and the correlation between the expression of PARP14 and clinical pathological characteristics was analyzed. The effect of PARP14 on the proliferation of thyroid cancer cells was investigated by clone formation testing and MTT testing.Results:The results of bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry showed that PARP14 was overexpressed in thyroid cancer tissue, and the disease-free survival rate of the patient with high expression was lower. The expression level of PARP14 was correlated with tumor stage and intrathyroidal spread (all P<0.05). The results of the clonogenic assay and the MTT assay showed that the expression of KIF4A could promote the proliferation of thyroid cancer cells ( P<0.05). Conclusions:PARP14 is highly expressed in thyroid cancer and is related to the clinicopathological characteristics of patients, suggesting that it may be a therapeutic target for thyroid cancer.
ABSTRACT
Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in older men. Prostate cancer patients with distant metastasis often have a poor prognosis, and more than half of Chinese prostate cancer patients have developed distant metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis. In recent years, with the disclosure of the results of a number of global multi-center clinical trials, combination therapy and precision therapy have become two major themes in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). The American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary (ASCO-GU) Cancers Symposium is a grand meeting of the urologic oncology community. Several research advances reported at the meeting will help to update the treatment strategy of mPCa. This article interprets and comments on a number of milestone studies on mPCa treatment at the ASCO-GU 2022 annual meeting, with a view to providing help for the clinical treatment decisions of mPCa patients.
ABSTRACT
DNA damage repair (DDR) defects occurred in 8%-16% of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). DDR gene mutation was related to poorer prognosis. Patients with DDR gene mutation, especially BRCA1/2 mutation, showed high sensitivity to poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) and platinum.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase-1(PARP-1) inhibitor fluzoparib on proliferation, apoptosis and migration of pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells.Methods:PANC1 cells cultured in conventional culture medium were used as control group, and PANC1 cells cultured in the medium containing fluzoparib were used as fluzoparib group. The effects of fluzoparib with different concentrations on the proliferation of PANC1 cells were detected by CCK8 method, and the half inhibitory concentration (IC 50) of fluzoparib on PANC1 cells was calculated. The effect of fluzoparib on apoptosis and cell cycle of PANC1 cells was detected by flow cytometry, and the migration ability of PANC1 cells was detected by cell scratch test and Transwell chamber. Results:Compared with control group, with the increase of fluzoparib concentration and the prolongation of the action time, the cell proliferation activity of PANC1 in fluzoparib group was significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P values <0.05). IC 50 of fluzoparib on PANC1 cells cultured for 24 h was 0.03 mmol/L. After 24 h culture, the IC 50 apoptosis rate of fluzoparib group was (32.19±2.48)%, and the apoptosis rate of control group was (21.99±6.30)%. The former was greatly higher than the latter, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The proportion of cells in G 2/M phase was (16.28±0.62)% in the fluzoparib group and (11.64±0.88)% in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The migration rates of PANC1 cells in IC 50 fluzoparib group in 12 h and 24 h culture were (2.59±1.46)% and (19.76±7.84)%; and those in control group were (27.08±2.17)% and (45.92±3.61)%, respectively. The number of transmembrane cells was (348±19) cells/10 visual field in the fluzoparib group and (587±14) cells/10 visual field in the control group. The migration ability of PANC1 cells in fluzoparib group was significantly lower than that in control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Fluzoparib can inhibit the proliferation and migration of PANC1 cells and promote the apoptosis of PANC1 in vitro, which may be an effective drug for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
ABSTRACT
@#To investigate the expression of polyadenosine diphospho-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP-1) and p16/ retinoblastoma (Rb) protein in hydroquinone (HQ)-induced TK6 cells and their regulatory mechanisms. Methods According to the 2×2 factorial design model, TK6 cells were divided into PBS-TK6 group and HQ-TK6 group based on HQ exposure, and then sub-divided into non-DOX intervention subgroup and DOX intervention subgroup based on DOX intervention, a total of four groups. The PBS-TK6 group was treated with phosphate buffer saline, and the HQ-TK6 group was treated with HQ at a final concentration of 20.0 μmol/L. The non-DOX intervention subgroup was added with 0.05% dimethyl sulfoxide; and the DOX intervention subgroup was added with PARP-1 agonist DOX at a final concentration of 0.5 μmol/L. The distribution of cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. The protein expression of p16/Rb, cyclin D1 (cyclinD1), multifunctional protein E2 transcription factor 1 (E2F1), Rb, and p-Rb were detected by Western blot, and the level of p16 ribosylation was detected by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation. Results Compared with the PBS-TK6 group, the cell cycle distribution percentage in G0/G1 phase and the relative expression levels of p16 proteins were decreased in the cells of the HQ-TK6 group (all P<0.05). The cell cycle distribution percentage in S phase and the relative expression levels of cyclinD1 and p-Rb proteins were up-regulated (all P<0.05). Compared with the non-DOX intervention group, the cell cycle distribution percentage in G0/G1 and G2/M phases and the relative expression level of p16 protein increased in the DOX intervention group (all P<0.05). The percentage of cells in S phase and the relative expression levels of cyclinD1 and p-Rb proteins were down-regulated (all P< 0.05). The results of interaction effect analysis showed that compared with the non-DOX PBS-TK6 cells, the relative expression levels of Rb and E2F1 protein in the DOX PBS-TK6 cells intervention group were down-regulated (all P<0.05).

Compared with the non-DOX HQ-TK6 cell group, the relative expression level of Rb protein in the DOX HQ-TK6 cell group was up-regulated and that of E2F1 protein was down-regulated (all P<0.05). Conclusion PARP-1 participates in cell cycle regulation by regulating the p16/Rb signaling pathway in TK6 cells.
ABSTRACT
Kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the major cause of poor prognosis after kidney transplantation and partial nephrectomy. Besides, it is also a critical pathophysiological process of acute kidney injury. Consequently, the prevention and treatment of kidney IRI are of significance to improve clinical prognosis of recipients undergoing kidney transplantation. However, the mechanism underlying IRI is complex, and the exact mechanism remains elusive. Inflammation, as one of the main pathogenesis of IRI, plays a significant role in IRI-induced kidney injury. Nuclear factor (NF)-κB, as a rapid response transcription factor, has been proven to be involved in the regulation of inflammation during kidney IRI. Therefore, in this article, the structure of NF-κB, the activation pattern of NF-κB signaling pathway, the regulatory mechanisms of NF-κB upstream and downstream signaling pathways in kidney IRI were reviewed, and the role of NF-κB signaling pathway in kidney IRI was investigated, aiming to provide novel clinical ideas for the prevention and treatment of kidney IRI.
ABSTRACT
Hereditary breast cancer refers to malignant tumors caused by pathogenic germline mutations of breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA). At present, it is believed that BRCA1/2 genes are most closely related to the development of hereditary breast cancer. Mutation will lead to loss of normal function, instability of genome, and then lead to tumorigenesis. Especially for those with germline mutations, not only the risk of breast cancer will be greatly increased, but also the probability of ovarian cancer and other cancers will be increased. With the emergence and clinical application of poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, BRCA1/2 genes have been regarded as new targets for the treatment of breast cancer. This article reviews the latest research of breast cancer with BRCA1/2 gene mutations.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the expression of DNA damage repair factor DNA damage-binding protein 1 (DDB1) in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, and the effect of DDB1 gene silencing on DNA repair and targeted killing in human hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC-7721 cells.Methods:The UALCAN platform was used to perform bioinformatics analysis on the expression of DDB1 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues (371 cases) and paracancerous tissues (50 cases) in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the correlation of DDB1 expression with the overall survival of liver cancer patients were analyzed by bioinformatics using the UALCAN platform. SMMC-7721 cells were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting DDB1 and negative control siRNA, which were DDB1 silencing group and negative control group, respectively. X-ray irradiation induced exogenous DNA double strand break (DSB) damage in the two groups of cells. Immunofluorescence staining (γH2AX was used for assessing cellular DSB damage, RPA32s33 and Rad51 were used for assessing homologous recombination repair) and Western blotting (were used to detect the level of RPA32s33 protein) were used to analyze the effect of DDB1 gene silencing on DSB damage repair. Sister chromosome exchange (SCE) experiment was used to analyze the frequency of SCE of homologous recombination of cells in DDB1 silencing group and negative control group. Tetramethylazozolium salt (MTT) method was used to analyze the killing effect of PARP inhibitor olapani (10 μmol/L), cisplatin (1 μg/ml) and olapani combined with cisplatin on SMMC-7721 cells in DDB1 silencing group and negative control group.Results:Bioinformatics analysis showed that the level of DDB1 mRNA in liver cancer tissues was higher than that in paracancerous tissues ( P < 0.001), and the overall survival of patients with high expression of DDB1 was worse than that of patients with low expression of DDB1 ( P = 0.029). When cultured for 4 hours after X-ray irradiation, the number of γH2AX foci in cells of the negative control group had mostly disappeared, and there were still more cells in DDB1 silencing group [(5.1±2.0) per cell vs. (13.4±2.0) per cell, t = -5.08, P = 0.007]. When cultured for 4 hours after X-ray irradiation, the number of RPA32s33 foci in the negative control group [(30.8±5.0) per cell vs. (13.2±1.6) per cell] and the number of Rad51 foci [(19.5±1.8) per cell vs. (8.3±3.3) per cell] were higher than those in the DDB1 silencing group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (both P < 0.01). The frequency of SCE in the negative control group was higher than that in the DDB1 silencing group [(21.2±3.0)% vs. (11.2±1.6)%, t = 5.07, P = 0.007]. MTT assay showed that after olaparib treatment, the survival rate of cells in the DDB1 silencing group was lower than that in the negative control group [(40.3±3.6)% vs. (79.8±1.3)%, t = 17.94, P < 0.001]. When treated with olapani combined with cisplatin, the survival rate of cells in the two groups further decreased, and the survival rate of cells in the DDB1 silencing group was lower than that in the negative control group [(10.2±2.8)% vs. (29.6±3.4)%, t = 7.72, P = 0.002]. When treated with cisplatin alone, there was no significant difference in cell survival between DDB1 silencing group and negative control group [(41.9±5.1)% vs. (49.8±3.3)%, t = 2.71, P = 0.054]. Conclusions:The high expression of DDB1 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues may be an important factor in the treatment resistance and poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Knockdown of DDB1 gene expression can promote the sensitivity of SMMC-7721 cells to PARP inhibitors, and its mechanism may be related to the homologous recombination repair defect of SMMC-7721 cells caused by DDB1 silencing.
