Figure 4 Effect of DNA repair systems on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity.
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) lead to the activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). PARP plays a key role in the repair of SSBs. Treatment with a PARP inhibitor induces DSBs and selectively kills homologous recombination (HR)/breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA)-deficient cells.
