1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPoly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) target tumours defective in homologous recombination (HR). Most BRCA-wild-type (WT) HR-proficient breast cancers are intrinsically resistant to PARP inhibitors, e.g., talazoparib. We evaluated the role of autophagy in this de novo resistance and determined the underlying mechanism to overcome this.

methodsAutophagosome formation and autophagic flux were assessed by evaluating endogenous LC3-II levels and ectopic expression of EGFP-LC3 and mRFP-EGFP-LC3 in breast cancer cells. Autophagy-defective cells were generated by genetic depletion of BECN1, ATG5, p62/SQSTM1 and LAMP1 by using CRISPR-Cas9 double nickase system. The response of PARPi was evaluated in autophagy-proficient and -defective breast cancer cells and in xenograft SCID-mice model.

resultsPro-survival autophagy was significantly enhanced upon talazoparib treatment in BRCA-WT breast cancer cell lines. Autophagy-deficient cells were hypersensitive to talazoparib. Targeting autophagy synergistically enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of talazoparib in BRCA1-WT breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo xenograft tumour mouse model. Mechanistically, autophagy inhibition by chloroquine promoted deleterious NHEJ mediated DSB-repair, leading to extensive genomic instability and mitotic catastrophe.

conclusionsAutophagy confers de novo resistance to PARP inhibitor, talazoparib. Autophagy inhibition improves the therapeutic outcome of PARPi treatment in preclinical mice model, bearing HR-proficient breast tumours, warranting its usage in the clinical settings.
