SF3B1 hotspot mutations confer sensitivity to PARP inhibition by eliciting a defective replication stress response

SF3B1 hotspot mutations are associated with a poor prognosis in several tumor types and lead to global disruption of canonical splicing. Through synthetic lethal drug screens, we identify that SF3B1 mutant ( SF3B1 MUT ) cells are selectively sensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARP...

Description
Summary:SF3B1 hotspot mutations are associated with a poor prognosis in several tumor types and lead to global disruption of canonical splicing. Through synthetic lethal drug screens, we identify that SF3B1 mutant ( SF3B1 MUT ) cells are selectively sensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), independent of hotspot mutation and tumor site. SF3B1 MUT cells display a defective response to PARPi-induced replication stress that occurs via downregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 interacting protein (CINP), leading to increased replication fork origin firing and loss of phosphorylated CHK1 (pCHK1; S317) induction. This results in subsequent failure to resolve DNA replication intermediates and G 2 /M cell cycle arrest. These defects are rescued through CINP overexpression, or further targeted by a combination of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated and PARP inhibition. In vivo, PARPi produce profound antitumor effects in multiple SF3B1 MUT cancer models and eliminate distant metastases. These data provide the rationale for testing the clinical efficacy of PARPi in a biomarker-driven, homologous recombination proficient, patient population. SF3B1 mutations confer sensitivity to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). Mechanistically, this is independent of homologous recombination repair and instead relies on a defective replication stress response due to a reduction of the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 interacting protein (CINP). PARPi treatment of SF3B1 mutant ( SF3B1 MUT ) tumors leads to replication stress induced by increased fork origin firing and culminates in cell cycle stalling.
