Popis: Summary Selective elimination of BRCA1-deficient cells by inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a prime example of the concept of synthetic lethality in cancer therapy. This interaction is counteracted by the restoration of BRCA1-independent homologous recombination through loss of factors such as 53BP1, RIF1, and REV7/MAD2L2, which inhibit end resection of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). To identify additional factors involved in this process, we performed CRISPR/SpCas9-based loss-of-function screens and selected for factors that confer PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance in BRCA1-deficient cells. Loss of members of the CTC1-STN1-TEN1 (CST) complex were found to cause PARPi resistance in BRCA1-deficient cells in vitro and in vivo. We show that CTC1 depletion results in the restoration of end resection and that the CST complex may act downstream of 53BP1/RIF1. These data suggest that, in addition to its role in protecting telomeres, the CST complex also contributes to protecting DSBs from end resection.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • PARP inhibitor resistance screens independently identify loss of CTC1 as major hit • The CST complex promotes PARP inhibitor sensitivity in BRCA1-deficient cells • Depletion of CTC1 restores end resection in BRCA1-deficient cells • CTC1 facilitates double-strand break repair via canonical non-homologous end joining
Using CRISPR/SpCas9-based loss-of-function screens, Barazas et al. show that loss of the CTC1-STN1-TEN1 (CST) complex promotes PARP inhibitor resistance in BRCA1-deficient cells. Mechanistically, the CST complex maintains double-strand break end stability in addition to its role in protecting telomeric ends.
