PARG dysfunction sensitizes dual depletion of PARG and DUSP22 induced apoptosis by certain cancer cells to alkylating agents and cisplatin by upregulating PUMA and suppressing the PI3K/AKT/mTOR perturbing the DNA damage response. The gene mutations pathway. Consistently, the growth of tumors derived from that sensitize cancer cells to PARG dysfunction-induced death double knockdown A549 cells was slower compared with remain to be identified. Here, we performed a comprehensive those derived from control siRNA-transfected cells. Taken analysis of synthetic lethal genes using inducible PARG together, these results indicate that DUSP22 deficiency knockdown cells and identified dual specificity phosphatase exerts a synthetic lethal effect when combined with PARG 22 (DUSP22) as a novel synthetic lethal gene related to PARG dysfunction, suggesting that DUSP22 dysfunction could dysfunction. DUSP22 is considered a tumor suppressor and its be a useful biomarker for cancer therapy using PARG mutation has been frequently reported in lung, colon, and inhibitors. other tumors. In the absence of DNA damage, dual depletion of PARG and DUSP22 in HeLa and lung cancer A549 cells Significance: This study identified DUSP22 as a novel reduced survival compared with single-knockdown counter- synthetic lethal gene under the condition of PARG dysfunction parts.

This reaction is Poly (ADP-ribosylation) is a posttranslational modification involved in various biological processes, including cell death, by which some PARP family proteins catalyze the transfer of chromatin regulation, and DNA repair of single-strand breaks (SSB) and double-strand breaks (DSB; refs. 1, 3).
