Title:

Mechanistic Rationale for Inhibition of Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase in ETS Gene Fusion-Positive Prostate Cancer

Excerpt:
...we implanted VCaP (ERG positive) or PC3-LACZ (ETS negative) cells and studied the impact of Olaparib (100mg/kg/day, IP) on xenograft growth. Importantly, we observed a significant reduction of tumor growth in the ETS-rearranged cell line relative to that of the vehicle control, but no change was observed in the ETS-negative control cell line (p = 0.002) suggesting preferential sensitivity of ETS-positive tumors...
