This study aims to explore wild-type IDH1's role in homologous recombination repair in pancreatic cancer and evaluate its therapeutic potential combined with PARP inhibition.
Conducted HR and non-homologous end joining reporter assays to analyze DNA repair mechanisms.
Evaluated effects of IDH1 inhibition (ivosidenib) and PARP inhibition (olaparib) in vitro on cell viability and apoptosis.
Tested therapeutic efficacy in xenograft and orthotopic mouse models of pancreatic cancer.
Analyzed tumor biopsies from a clinical trial for HR pathway activity and chromatin alterations.
Inhibition of wtIDH1 led to a depletion of α-ketoglutarate and increased histone hypermethylation, resulting in impaired HR repair.
Combining IDH1 and PARP inhibitors significantly enhanced apoptosis and reduced cell viability compared to using either therapy alone.
In vivo studies showed that dual therapy markedly suppressed tumor growth and extended survival.
Patient tumor samples indicated significant changes in HR repair proteins and exhibited a BRCAness phenotype.
