Abstract:Backgroud Endometrial Carcinoma (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy among women. Even with a favorable prognosis, cure is still elusive with recurrence, chemotherapy resistance and poor outcome. Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have been emerged as promising cancer therapeutics, especially for tumors with deficient homologous recombination (HR) repair. Niraparib for example is well established for ovarian cancer. Metformin, an antidiabetic drug, has been reported to be a new adjunctiv… Show more
“…4), a PARPi widely used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, 120 was also investigated by the Chang group regarding the effects of its combination with MET on the growth of EC cells. 121 The results showed that niraparib alone inhibited the growth of Ishikawa and HEC-1B cells (IC 50 values were 0.024 μmol L −1 and 0.127 μmol L −1 , respectively), and effected cell invasion and metastasis. In addition, treatment with niraparib alone induced apoptosis, which could be greatly enhanced by MET .…”
