Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a heterogeneous cancer with high mortality, is resistant to single targeted therapy; thus, combination therapy based on synthetic lethality is a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC. Poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is the most recognized target for synthetic lethality; however, the therapeutic effect of PARP1 inhibition on HCC is disappointing. Therefore, exploring new synthetic lethal partners for the efficient manipulation of HCC is urgently required. In this study, we identified Src and PARP1 as novel synthetic lethal partners, and the combination therapy produced significant anti-tumor effects without causing obvious side effects. Mechanistically, Src interacted with PARP1 and phosphorylated PARP1 at the Y992 residue, which further mediated resistance to PARP1 inhibition. Overall, this study revealed that Src-mediated PARP1 phosphorylation induced HCC resistance to PARP1 inhibitors and indicated a therapeutic window of the Y992 phosphorylation of PARP1 for HCC patients. Moreover, synthetic lethal therapy by co-targeting PARP1 and Src have the potential to broaden the strategies for HCC and might benefit HCC patients with high Src activation and resistance to PARP1 inhibitors alone.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) plays a crucial role in DNA repair and genomic stability maintenance. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing PARP1 activity, particularly through deubiquitination, remain poorly elucidated. Using a deubiquitinase (DUB) library binding screen, we identified cylindromatosis (CYLD) as a bona fide DUB for PARP1 in breast cancer cells.

Despite the improvements in outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) over the past decade, the disease remains incurable, and even those patients who initially respond favorably to induction therapy eventually suffer from relapse. Consequently, there is an urgent need for the development of novel therapeutic agents and strategies to enhance the treatment outcomes for patients with MM. The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) elicits endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and oxidative stress in MM cells, subsequent DNA damage, ultimately inducing cell apoptosis.

Early diagnosis of tumors is becoming increasingly important in modern healthcare. As studies have demonstrated, Poly(ADP)ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is overexpressed in more aggressive tumors. Consequently, sensitive detection of PARP-1 activity holds significant practical importance in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research.

Growing evidence reveals that microglia activation and neuroinflammatory responses trigger cell loss in the brain. Histamine is a critical neurotransmitter and promotes inflammatory responses; thus, the histaminergic system is a potential target for treating neurodegenerative processes. JNJ-7777120, a histamine H4 receptor (HR) antagonist, has been shown to alleviate inflammation, brain damage, and behavioral deficits effectively, but there is no report on its role in brain trauma.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), the most prevalent solid tumor in children, arises from sympathetic nervous system and accounts for 15% of pediatric cancer mortality. This malignancy exhibits substantial genetic and clinical heterogeneity, thus complicating treatment strategies. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), a key enzyme catalyzing polyADP-ribosylation (PARylation), plays critical roles in various cellular processes, and contributes to tumorigenesis and aggressiveness.
