Abstrakt: DNA methyltransferase and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (DNMTis, PARPis) induce a stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING)-dependent pathogen mimicry response (PMR) in ovarian (OC) and other cancers. We now show that combining DNMTis and PARPis upregulates expression of a little-studied nucleic-acid sensor, NFX1-type zinc finger-containing 1 protein (ZNFX1). We demonstrate that ZNFX1 is a novel master regulator for PMR induction in mitochondria, serving as a gateway for STING-dependent PMR. In patient OC databases, high ZNFX1 expression levels correlate with advanced stage disease. ZNFX1 expression alone significantly correlates with an increase in overall survival in a phase 3 trial for therapy-resistant OC patients receiving bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy. In correlative RNA-seq data, inflammasome signaling through ZNFX1 correlates with abnormal vasculogenesis. ZNFX1 controls PMR signaling through the mitochondria and may serve as a biomarker to facilitate offering personalized therapy in OC patients, highlighting the strong translational significance of our findings.
