Selective small molecule PARG inhibitor causes replication fork stalling and cancer cell death [PDF]
PARG catalyzes the removal of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) from target proteins and executes critical functions in the DNA damage response. Here the authors provide structural and biological insight with small molecule PARG inhibitors and show that PARG ...

PARG inhibitor sensitivity correlates with accumulation of single-stranded DNA gaps in preclinical models of ovarian cancer [PDF]
Poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is a dePARylating enzyme which promotes DNA repair by removal of poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) from PARylated proteins. Loss or inhibition of PARG results in replication stress and sensitizes cancer cells to DNA-damaging agents.

Prospects for PARG inhibitors in cancer therapy [PDF]
Abstract Poly(ADP-ribose) glycosylhydrolase (PARG) is an enzyme involved in hydrolyzing the ribose–ribose bonds present in poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), which are primarily found in the nucleus. Along with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, PARG regulates the level of PAR in cells, playing a crucial role in DNA maintenance and repair processes ...

Intrinsic PARG inhibitor sensitivity is mimicked by TIMELESS haploinsufficiency and rescued by nucleoside supplementation. [PDF]
Abstract A subset of cancer cells are intrinsically sensitive to inhibitors targeting PARG, the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase that degrades PAR chains. Sensitivity is accompanied by persistent DNA replication stress, and can be induced by inhibition of TIMELESS, a replisome accelerator.

Loss‐of‐function genetic screen unveils synergistic efficacy of PARG inhibition with combined 5‐fluorouracil and irinotecan treatment in colorectal cancer [PDF]
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health concern, partly due to resistance to therapy and the lack of new effective treatments for advanced disease.

Selective Loss of PARG Restores PARylation and Counteracts PARP Inhibitor-Mediated Synthetic Lethality [PDF]
Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymerase (PARPi) have recently entered the clinic for the treatment of homologous recombination (HR)-deficient cancers. Despite the success of this approach, drug resistance is a clinical hurdle, and we poorly understand how cancer cells escape the deadly effects of PARPi without restoring the HR pathway.

Synergistic Cellular Toxicity from Inhibition of Poly(ADP-ribose) Glycohydrolase (PARG) and Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 1 (USP1) [PDF]
Ubiquitin-specific protease 1 (USP1) is an emerging target for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitor-resistant and BRCA1/BRCA2 mutant tumors.

Anticancer sensitivities and biological characteristics of HCT116 cells resistant to the selective poly(ADP‐ribose) glycohydrolase inhibitor [PDF]
Poly(ADP‐ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is a key enzyme involved in poly(ADP‐ribose) (PAR) degradation and is considered a potential anticancer target. We previously investigated resistance mechanisms to the PARG inhibitor PDD00017273 in human colorectal ...

PARG inhibition suppresses breast cancer progression and potentiates immunoresponse through MTDH degradation mediated by E3 ligase ITCH-dependent ubiquitination [PDF]
PARG plays an important role in cancer progression and immunoresponse, but its role in breast cancer is not yet fully elucidated. The advanced breast cancer is still a persistent challenge in clinical oncology.
