Popis: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a heterogeneous cancer with high mortality, is resistant to single targeted therapy; thus, combination therapy based on synthetic lethality is a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC. Poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is the most recognized target for synthetic lethality; however, the therapeutic effect of PARP1 inhibition on HCC is disappointing. Therefore, exploring new synthetic lethal partners for the efficient manipulation of HCC is urgently required. In this study, we identified Src and PARP1 as novel synthetic lethal partners, and the combination therapy produced significant anti-tumor effects without causing obvious side effects. Mechanistically, Src interacted with PARP1 and phosphorylated PARP1 at the Y992 residue, which further mediated resistance to PARP1 inhibition. Overall, this study revealed that Src-mediated PARP1 phosphorylation induced HCC resistance to PARP1 inhibitors and indicated a therapeutic window of the Y992 phosphorylation of PARP1 for HCC patients. Moreover, synthetic lethal therapy by co-targeting PARP1 and Src have the potential to broaden the strategies for HCC and might benefit HCC patients with high Src activation and resistance to PARP1 inhibitors alone.
