PARP inhibition-associated heterochromatin confers increased DNA replication stress and vulnerability to ATR inhibition in SMARCA4-deficient cells by Kimiyoshi Yano, Megumi Kato, Syoju Endo, Taichi Igarashi, Ryoga Wada, Takashi Kohno, Astrid Zimmermann, Heike Dahmen, Frank T. Zenke, Bunsyo Shiotani

“…PARP inhibition triggers chromatin changes, namely elevated histone H3 at lysine 9 di-methylation (H3K9me2), a hallmark of facultative heterochromatin, increasing dependence on ATR activity for replication fork progression and cell survival. Interestingly, SMARCA4 deficient cells, intrinsically vulnerable to replication stress, exhibited exacerbated DNA damage upon combined ATRi and PARPi treatment in a Mre11- and Mus81-mediated manner. …”
