BRCA and poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) regulate pathways of DNA repair. Due to the accumulation of mutations introduced by error-prone DNA repair, breast and ovarian cancers develop in the setting of BRCA deficiency. A series of recent clinical trials has tested the use of PARP inhibition as a therapeutic strategy to target BRCA-deficient tumors.
BRCA(乳腺癌易感基因)和聚ADP核糖聚合酶(PARP)调节DNA修复途径。由于易出错的DNA修复所引入的突变积累,在BRCA缺陷的情况下会发生乳腺癌和卵巢癌。最近的一系列临床试验测试了使用PARP抑制作为靶向BRCA缺陷肿瘤的治疗策略。
