Targeting DNA damage response (DDR) pathways represents one of the principal approaches in cancer therapy. However, defects DDR mechanisms, exhibited by various tumors, can also promote tumor progression and resistance to therapy, negatively impacting patient survival. Therefore, identifying new molecules from natural extracts could provide a powerful source novel compounds for treatment strategies. In this context, we investigated role oleanolic acid (OA), identified fermented Aglianico red grape pomace, modulating camptothecin (CPT), an inhibitor topoisomerase I. Specifically, found that OA influence choice repair pathway upon CPT treatment, shifting process homologous recombination gene conversion single-strand annealing. Moreover, our data demonstrate combining sub-lethal concentrations with enhances efficacy I inhibition compared alone. Overall, these findings highlight DDR, leading more mutagenic increased sensitivity HeLa cell line.

The PARP inhibitor (PARPi) olaparib is currently the drug of choice for serous ovarian cancer (OC), especially in patients with homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiency associated deleterious BRCA1/2 mutations. Unfortunately, OC who fail to respond PARPi or relapse after treatment have limited therapeutic options. To elucidate resistance and enhance efficacy olaparib, intracellular factors exploited by cells achieve decreased sensitivity were examined. An olaparib-resistant cell line, PEO1-OR, was established from BRCA2MUT PEO1 cells. anticancer activity action combined inhibitors ATR/CHK1 pathway (ceralasertib as ATRi, MK-8776 CHK1i) olaparib-sensitive -resistant lines evaluated. Whole-exome sequencing revealed that PEO1-OR acquire through subclonal enrichment BRCA2 secondary mutations restore functional full-length protein. Moreover, upregulate HR repair-promoting (BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51) PARP1. Olaparib-inducible activation G2/M arrest abrogated Drug assays are less sensitive ATRi CHK1i agents. Combined effective considering inhibition metabolic activity, colony formation, survival, accumulation DNA double-strand breaks, chromosomal aberrations. However, synergistic antitumor between compounds achievable Collectively, display co-existing repair-related mechanisms confer which may be effectively utilized resensitize them via combination therapy. Importantly, addition has potential overcome acquired PARPi.

Melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal skin cancer that affects thousands of people worldwide. Ruthenium complexes have shown promising results as chemotherapeutics, offering several advantages over platinum drugs, such potent efficacy, low toxicity, less drug resistance.
