Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting the DNA repair defect in BRCA mutant cells as a therapeutic strategy

TL;DR: BRCA1 or BRCA2 dysfunction unexpectedly and profoundly sensitizes cells to the inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity, resulting in chromosomal instability, cell cycle arrest and subsequent apoptosis, illustrating how different pathways cooperate to repair damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and characterization of a novel and specific inhibitor of the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase ATM.

TL;DR: KU-55933 is a novel, specific, and potent inhibitor of the ATM kinase, which did not potentiate the cytotoxic effects of ionizing radiation on ataxia-telangiectasia cells, nor did it affect their cell cycle profile after DNA damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

High sensitivity of BRCA1-deficient mammary tumors to the PARP inhibitor AZD2281 alone and in combination with platinum drugs

TL;DR: In vivo efficacy of AZD2281 against BRCA1-deficient breast cancer is demonstrated and how GEMMs of cancer can be used for preclinical evaluation of novel therapeutics and for testing ways to overcome or circumvent therapy resistance is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deubiquitylating enzymes and drug discovery: emerging opportunities.

TL;DR: This Review discusses issues and recent advances in understanding of DUB enzymology and biology as well as technological improvements that have contributed to the current interest in DUBs as therapeutic targets in diseases ranging from oncology to neurodegeneration.
