摘要: Poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have shown remarkable therapeutic efficacy against BRCA1/2 mutant cancers through a synthetic lethal interaction. PARPi exert their effects mainly the blockade of single-stranded DNA damage repair, which leads to accumulation toxic double-strand breaks specifically in cancer cells with repair deficiency (BCRAness), including those harboring mutations. Here we show that PARPi-mediated modulation immune response contributes independently promoted cytosolic fragments due unresolved lesions, turn activated sensing cGAS-STING pathway and stimulated production type I interferons induce antitumor immunity independent BRCAness. These were further enhanced by checkpoint blockade. Overall, these results provide mechanistic rationale for using as immunomodulatory agents harness
