Abstract
It is well documented that impaired DNA damage repair (DDR) induces genomic instability that can efficiently increase the sensitivity of prostate cancer (PCa) cells to PARP inhibitors; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we found profound genomic instability in PCa cells with SPOP gene mutations and confirmed the sensitivity of SPOP-mutated PCa cells to olaparib-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, we identified olaparib-induced CK2-mediated phosphorylation of PIAS1-S468, which in turn mediated SUMOylation of SPOP, thus promoting its E3 ligase activity in the DDR. Moreover, an abnormal CK2/PIAS1/SPOP axis due to SPOP mutations or defects in CK2-mediated phosphorylation of PIAS1, as well as SPOP inhibitor treatment, led to impaired DDR, thus increasing olaparib-induced apoptosis of PCa cells and enhancing olaparib sensitivity in animal models and patient-derived organoids. This suggested that disruption of the CK2/PIAS1/SPOP signaling axis could serve as an indicator for targeted therapy of PCa using a PARP inhibitor.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users: Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...". Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
