Abstract
PARP inhibition (PARPi) has anti-tumor activity against castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with homologous recombination repair (HRR) defects. However, mechanisms underlying PARPi resistance are not fully understood. While acquired mutations restoring BRCA genes are well documented, their clinical relevance, frequency, and mechanism of generation remain unclear. Moreover, how resistance emerges in BRCA2 homozygously deleted (HomDel) CRPC is unknown. Evaluating samples from patients with metastatic CRPC treated in the TOPARP-B trial, we identify reversion mutations in most BRCA2/PALB2-mutated tumors (79%) by end of treatment. Among reversions mediated by frameshift deletions, 60% are flanked by DNA microhomologies, implicating POLQ-mediated repair. The number of reversions and time of their detection associate with radiological progression-free survival and overall survival (p < 0.01). For BRCA2 HomDels, selection for rare subclones without BRCA2-HomDel is observed following PARPi, confirmed by single circulating-tumor-cell genomics, biopsy fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and RNAish. These data support the need for restored HRR function in PARPi resistance.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell is a journal that focuses on promoting major advances in cancer research and oncology. The primary criteria for considering manuscripts are as follows:
Major advances: Manuscripts should provide significant advancements in answering important questions related to naturally occurring cancers.
Translational research: The journal welcomes translational research, which involves the application of basic scientific findings to human health and clinical practice.
Clinical investigations: Cancer Cell is interested in publishing clinical investigations that contribute to establishing new paradigms in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of cancers.
Insights into cancer biology: The journal values clinical investigations that provide important insights into cancer biology beyond what has been revealed by preclinical studies.
Mechanism-based proof-of-principle studies: Cancer Cell encourages the publication of mechanism-based proof-of-principle clinical studies, which demonstrate the feasibility of a specific therapeutic approach or diagnostic test.
