Abstract
Purpose
Olaparib, an inhibitor of poly-(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP), has been shown to have anticancer benefits in patients with pancreatic cancer who have a germline mutation in BRCA1/2. However, resistance acquired on long-term exposure to olaparib significantly impedes clinical efficacy.
Methods
In this study, the chromatin accessibility and differentially expressed transcripts of parental and olaparib-resistant pancreatic cancer cell lines were assessed using the Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) and mRNA-seq. Detection of downstream genes regulated by transcription factors using ChIP (Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay).
Results
According to pathway enrichment analysis, differentially expressed genes in olaparib-resistant cells were remarkably enriched in the NF-κB signaling pathway. With ATAC-seq, we identified chromatin regions with higher accessibility in olaparib-resistant cells and predicted a series of important transcription factors. Among them, activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) was significantly highly expressed. Functional experiments verified that inhibition of ATF3 suppressed the NF-κB pathway significantly and restored olaparib sensitivity in olaparib-resistant cells.
Conclusion
Experiments in vitro and in vivo indicate ATF3 enhances olaparib resistance through the NF-κB signaling pathway, suggesting that ATF3 could be employed as an olaparib sensitivity and prognostic indicator in patients with pancreatic cancer.

期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Oncology
Focuses on translational research
Addresses the conversion of cell biology to clinical applications
Cellular Oncology publishes scientific contributions from various biomedical and clinical disciplines involved in basic and translational cancer research on the cell and tissue level, technical and bioinformatics developments in this area, and clinical applications. This includes a variety of fields like genome technology, micro-arrays and other high-throughput techniques, genomic instability, SNP, DNA methylation, signaling pathways, DNA organization, (sub)microscopic imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics, functional effects of genomics, drug design and development, molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapies, genotype-phenotype interactions.
A major goal is to translate the latest developments in these fields from the research laboratory into routine patient management. To this end Cellular Oncology forms a platform of scientific information exchange between molecular biologists and geneticists, technical developers, pathologists, (medical) oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of cancer patients.
In vitro studies are preferentially supported by validations in tumor tissue with clinicopathological associations.
