A Novel Inhibitor of Poly( ADP - R ibose) Polymerase-1 Inhibits Proliferation of a BRCA-Deficient Breast Cancer Cell Line via the DNA D amage- A ctivated cGAS-STING Pathway.
Chemical Research in Toxicology 2024 March 28
Loss-of-function mutations in the Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene (BRCA1 and BRCA2) are often detected in patients with breast cancer. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) plays a key role in the repair of DNA strand breaks, and PARP inhibitors have been shown to induce highly selective killing of BRCA1/2-deficient tumor cells, a mechanism termed synthetic lethality. In our previous study, a novel PARP1 inhibitor─( E )-2-(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)- N -(4-fluorophenyl) hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (4F-DDC)─was synthesized, which significantly inhibited PARP1 activity with an IC50 value of 82 ± 9 nM. The current study aimed to explore the mechanism(s) underlying the antitumor activity of 4F-DDC under in vivo and in vitro conditions. 4F-DDC was found to selectively inhibit the proliferation of BRCA mutant cells, with highly potent effects on HCC-1937 (BRCA1-/- ) cells. Furthermore, 4F-DDC was found to induce apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest in HCC-1937 cells. Interestingly, immunofluorescence and Western blot results showed that 4F-DDC induced DNA double strand breaks and further activated the cGAS-STING pathway in HCC-1937 cells. In vivo analysis results revealed that 4F-DDC inhibited the growth of HCC-1937-derived tumor xenografts, possibly via the induction of DNA damage and activation of the cGAS-STING pathway. In summary, the current study provides a new perspective on the antitumor mechanism of PARP inhibitors and showcases the therapeutic potential of 4F-DDC in the treatment of breast cancer.
