Abstract
The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes play a key role in the regulation of cellular processes
(e.g., DNA damage repair, genomic stability). It has been shown that PARP inhibitors (PARPIs) are selectively
cytotoxic against cells having dysfunctions in genes involved in DNA repair mechanisms (synthetic lethality).
Drug-induced PARP inhibition potentiates the activity of anticancer drugs such as 5-fluorouracil in enhancing
DNA damage, whose repair involves PARP-1 activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory
effects of a novel PARPI, HYDAMTIQ, on growth in human tumor cell lines characterized by different features with regard to DNA damage response pathways (
BRCA mutational status, microsatellite status, and ATM
expression level) and degree of sensitivity/resistance to 5-fluorouracil. HYDAMTIQ showed a more potent
inhibitory effect on cell growth in a
BRCA2 mutant cell line (CAPAN-1) compared with wild-type cells (C2-6,
C2-12, and C2-14 CAPAN-1 clones, and MCF-7). No statistically significant difference was observed after
HYDAMTIQ exposure between cells having a different MS status or a different MRE11 mutational status.
HYDAMTIQ induced greater antiproliferative effects in SW620 cells expressing a low level of ATM than in
H630 cells expressing a high level of ATM. Finally, the combination of HYDAMTIQ and 5-fluorouracil exerted
a synergistic effect on the inhibition of SW620 cell growth and an antagonistic effect on that of H630 cell
growth. Our results show that the novel PARP inhibitor HYDAMTIQ potently inhibits the growth of human
tumor cells with defective DNA damage response pathways and exerts synergistic cytotoxicity in combination with 5-fluorouracil. These data provide relevant examples of synthetic lethality and evidence for further
development of this novel PARPI.
