Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), a reversible post-translational modification mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), plays crucial roles in DNA replication and DNA damage repair. Since interfering PARylation induces selective cytotoxicity in tumor cells with homologous recombination defects, PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have significant clinical impacts in treating BRCA-mutant cancer patients. Likewise, dePARylation is also essential for optimal DNA damage response and genomic stability. This process is mediated by a group of dePARylation enzymes, such as poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Currently, several novel PARG inhibitors have been developed and examined in preclinical and clinical studies, demonstrating promising anti-cancer activity distinct from PARP inhibitors. This review discusses the role of dePARylation in genome stability and the potential of PARG inhibitors in cancer therapy.
期刊介绍：
DNA Repair provides a forum for the comprehensive coverage of DNA repair and cellular responses to DNA damage. The journal publishes original observations on genetic, cellular, biochemical, structural and molecular aspects of DNA repair, mutagenesis, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis and other biological responses in cells exposed to genomic insult, as well as their relationship to human disease.
DNA Repair publishes full-length research articles, brief reports on research, and reviews. The journal welcomes articles describing databases, methods and new technologies supporting research on DNA repair and responses to DNA damage. Letters to the Editor, hot topics and classics in DNA repair, historical reflections, book reviews and meeting reports also will be considered for publication.
