ABSTRACT PARP (poly ADP‐ribose polymerase) proteins represent a class of post‐translational modification enzymes with diverse cellular functions. Targeting PARPs has proven to be efficacious clinically, but exploration of the therapeutic potential of PARP inhibition has been limited to targeting poly(ADP‐ribose) (PAR) generating PARP including PARP1/2/3 and tankyrases. The cancer‐related functions of mono(ADP‐ribose) (MAR) generating PARP, including PARP6, remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we report a novel therapeutic strategy targeting PARP6 using the first reported PARP6 inhibitors. By screening a collection of PARP compounds for their ability to induce mitotic defects, we uncovered a robust correlation between PARP6 inhibition and induction of multipolar spindle (MPS) formation, which was phenocopied by PARP6 knockdown. Treatment with AZ0108, a PARP6 inhibitor with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, potently induced the MPS phenotype, leading to apoptosis in a subset of breast cancer cells in vitro and antitumor effects in vivo. In addition, Chk1 was identified as a specific substrate of PARP6 and was further confirmed by enzymatic assays and by mass spectrometry. Furthermore, when modification of Chk1 was inhibited with AZ0108 in breast cancer cells, we observed marked upregulation of p‐S345 Chk1 accompanied by defects in mitotic signaling. Together these results establish proof‐of‐concept antitumor efficacy through PARP6 inhibition and highlight a novel function of PARP6 in maintaining centrosome integrity via direct ADP‐ribosylation of Chk1 and modulation of its activity. 3 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 30, 2021. © 2018 American Association for Cancer Research.

INTRODUCTION The presence of supernumerary centrosomes is a common feature of solid malignant tumors, differentiating them from normal cells. Centrosomes normally function as the main microtubule‐organizing centers (MTOCs) and play an essential role during cellular mitosis [1]. Evidence suggests that centrosome abnormalities contribute to a high degree of aneuploidy in cancer cells and are associated with advanced tumor grade [2‐4]. A recent report indicates centrosome amplification is sufficient to promote spontaneous tumorigenesis, although the typical consequence of multipolar mitosis is often detrimental to dividing cells [5]. To ensure successful mitosis, aneuploid cancer cells can evolve several mechanisms to avoid chromosome segregation errors [6]. One major mechanism involves clustering and assembling multiple centrosomes into pseudo‐bipolar spindles through a tightly regulated process [6, 7]. Disruption of this process results in multipolar mitosis and has been shown to be a therapeutic strategy to specifically kill cancer cells with amplified centrosomes while sparing normal cells [8, 9]. The tubulin‐stabilizing agent griseofulvin and its derivative GF‐15, as well as the HSET/KIFC1 inhibitor AZ82, have been reported to induce formation of multipolar spindles (MPS) to selectively kill cancer cells [10‐12]. Through unbiased siRNA screens, members of the therapeutically tractable poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerases (PARPs) enzyme family have also been implicated in centrosome clustering and bipolar spindle formation, providing the preliminary evidence to further investigate the pharmacological inhibition of PARPs to specifically perturb mitosis in cancer cells [8, 13]. PARPs are a family of 17 enzymes that catalyze the transfer of the ADP‐ribose from NAD+ to post‐translationally modify acceptor proteins. Depending on their catalytic activity, PARPs can 4 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 30, 2021. © 2018 American Association for Cancer Research.

The post‐translational modification of substrate proteins by PARPs has been demonstrated, for example, by PARP1‐3 to regulate numerous signaling cascades including DNA damage response, chromatin remodeling, and transcriptional regulation, as well as by PARP5a‐5b for telomere maintenance, spindle assembly, vesicular movement, and degradation of the beta‐catenin destruction complex [16, 17]. Given that PARPs have functional roles in mitosis and that PARP1/2 inhibition is a successful therapeutic approach to treat homologous recombination defective tumors in the clinic [18, 19], this prompted us to perform a cell‐based MPS phenotypic screen with compounds that have structural similarity to PARP inhibitor scaffolds. Here, we report the characterization of novel small molecule PARP inhibitors that induce MPS formation in cancer cells and provide evidence that this phenotype is due to PARP6 inhibition. PARP6 is a mono (ADP‐ribose) generating PARP with little biological characterization. Pharmacological inhibition of PARP6 in breast cancer cells using AZ0108 [20], an optimized inhibitor developed from phenotypic screen hits, resulted in MPS formation, impaired cell growth, and induction of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Using a high‐density protein array‐based ADP‐ ribosylation assay, we identified Chk1 kinase within a subset of proteins involved in regulating centrosome function that were enriched as direct PARP6 substrates. We confirmed PARP6 ADP‐ ribosylates Chk1 directly and demonstrated Chk1 S345 phosphorylation was significantly upregulated upon PARP6 inhibition, which was accompanied by de‐activation of other mitotic proteins during the G2‐M transition. Taken together, our studies demonstrate a critical role for 5 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 30, 2021. © 2018 American Association for Cancer Research.

The reduction of costs and increasing parallelization of processing enable the quantification of 47,000 transcripts in up to twelve samples on a single microarray. Thereby the data collec- tion of large population-based studies was improved. During my PhD, I first developed a workflow for the statistical analyses of case-control stu- dies of up to 50 samples. With large population-based data sets generated I established a pipeline for quality control, data preprocessing and correction for confounders, which re- sulted in substantially improved data. In total, I processed more than 3,000 genome-wide expression profiles using the generated pipeline. With 993 whole blood samples from the population-based KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) study we established one of the largest population-based resource. Using this data set we contributed to a number of transcriptome-wide association studies within national (MetaXpress) and international (CHARGE) consortia.

Identification of novel biomarkers could be beneficial for the diagnosis and prognosis of OS patients. We aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of osteosarcoma by the differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs screened out by microarray data together with the function and metabolic pathway analysis of target genes. Expression data of miRNA and mRNA were downloaded from The Genome Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset. Differentially expressed miRNAs of osteosarcoma were screened out by two-fold principle. Target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were extracted out by miRTarBase software. Besides, DAVID data- set was used for the functional annotation. Differentially expressed genes of mRNA microarray were screened out for the study of relation between miRNA and mRNA. A total of 33 differentially expressed miRNAs were screened out, including 27 up-regulated miRNAs and 6 down-regulated miRNAs. Three miRNAs, hsa-miR-182, hsa-miR-486- 5p and hsa-miR760, were found to be the most differentially expressed ones, which were all up-regulated and could be used to differentiate osteosarcoma tissues from the normal ones.

    Cancer Gene Therapy (2014) 21, 542–548 © 2014 Nature America, Inc. All rights reserved 0929-1903/14 www.nature.com/cgt ORIGINAL ARTICLE Identification of common gene networks responsive to radiotherapy in human cancer cells D-L Hou1, L Chen2, B Liu1, L-N Song1 and T Fang1 Identification of the genes that are differentially expressed between radiosensitive and radioresistant cancers by global gene analysis may help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying tumor radioresistance and improve the efficacy of radiotherapy. An integrated analysis was conducted using publicly available GEO datasets to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between cancer cells exhibiting radioresistance and cancer cells exhibiting radiosensitivity. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis and protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks analysis were also performed. Five GEO datasets including 16 samples of radiosensitive cancers and radioresistant cancers were obtained. A total of 688 DEGs across these studies were identified, of which 374 were upregulated and 314 were downregulated in radioresistant cancer cell. The most significantly enriched GO terms were regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent (GO: 0006355, P = 7.00E-09) for biological processes, while those for molecular functions was protein binding (GO: 0005515, P = 1.01E-28), and those for cellular component was cytoplasm (GO: 0005737, P = 2.81E-26). The most significantly enriched pathway in our KEGG analysis was Pathways in cancer (P = 4.20E-07). PPI network analysis showed that IFIH1 (Degree = 33) was selected as the most significant hub protein. This integrated analysis may help to predict responses to radiotherapy and may also provide insights into the development of individualized therapies and novel therapeutic targets.

We examined the causes of expression differences, and in their linkage to sequence variants, functional differences, and ocular pathophysiology. Methods: mRNAs from young adult eyes were hybridized to oligomer microarrays (Affymetrix M430v2). Data were embedded in GeneNetwork with millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms, custom array annotation, and information on complementary cellular, functional, and behavioral traits. The data include male and female samples from 28 common strains, 68 BXD recombinant inbred lines, as well as several mutants and knockouts. Results: We provide a fully integrated resource to map, graph, analyze, and test causes and correlations of differences in gene expression in the eye. Covariance in mRNA expression can be used to infer gene function, extract signatures for different cells or tissues, to define molecular networks, and to map quantitative trait loci that produce expression differences.

Adjuvant treatment was delivered in 7 patients (radiotherapy in 4 cases, cyclophosphamide- doxorubicin-vincristine (CAV) chemotherapy in 3 cases). 34 tumors were resected after induction treatment, consisting of chemotherapy in 16 patients (cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin- cisplatin (CAP) in 11 cases, cisplatin-etoposide (PE) in 3 cases, cisplatin-etoposide-ifosfamide (VIP) in 1 case, and cisplatin-docetaxel in 1 case), in radiotherapy (45 Gy) in 1 patient, and in sequential chemoradiation (CAP followed by a 45 Gy-radiotherapy) in 1 patient. Among these 34 patients, 6 received adjuvant radiotherapy. 1 Supplemental Figure 2: Amino acid alignments of KIT H697 in the human protein and related orthologs, using (A) the Homologene database (exons 14 and 15), and (B) the UCSC Genome Browser database (exon 14). Residue H697 is highlighted with red boxes. Both alignments indicate that residue H697 is highly conserved. 2 Supplemental Figure 3: Direct comparison of the genomic profiles of thymic squamous cell carcinomas (n=7) and lung primary squamous cell carcinomas (n=6). (A) Unsupervised clustering analysis. Gains are indicated in red, and losses in green, by genomic position along the 22 chromosomes. (B) Genomic profiles and recurrent copy number alterations in thymic carcinomas and lung squamous cell carcinomas. Gains are indicated in red, and losses in blue. 3 Supplemental Methods Mutational profiling The exonic regions of interest (NCBI Human Genome Build 36.1) were broken into amplicons of 500 bp or less, and specific primers were designed using Primer 3 (on the World Wide Web for general users and for biologist programmers (see Supplemental Table 2) [1].
