Ovarian cancer has a poor clinical prognosis due to chemoresistance following carboplatin/paclitaxel treatment...The therapeutic efficacy of these combinations was also proved in patient-derived tumor organoid models (PDTO), leading to their structural disintegration and reduced viability. Collectively, our study highlights that ABT-737, through BCL-xL inhibition and synergy with ER stress inducers, triggers ovarian cancer death, offering promising strategies for overcoming chemoresistance in relapsed ovarian cancer.

We report that ONC201 and highly potent second generation ClpP agonists (TR-57, TR-107), promote induction of senescence in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines...By contrast, cells treated with the cell cycle inhibitor and senescence inducer, abemaciclib rapidly regained p-Rb and Myc expression and cell proliferation following washout...Combining a ClpP agonist with a PARP inhibitor (olaparib) produced an additive effect. In summary, we show that ClpP activators stably induce an irreversible senescence in a ClpP-dependent manner that synergizes with venetoclax in TNBC cells.

JPI-547 outperformed most PARP inhibitors, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration approximately 10-fold lower than that of olaparib. PDAC cells reliant on Wnt signaling due to pathogenic RNF43 mutations showed increased susceptibility to JPI-547 without altering homologous recombination repair efficiency. JPI-547 disrupts the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in RNF43-mutated cells and inhibits the oncogenic YAP pathway, highlighting its multifaceted therapeutic potential in PDAC with HRD or Wnt-addiction.

Finally, one pair of ONC201-sensitive and ONC201-resistant DMG cell lines with acquired resistance showed same responsiveness to MBZ with similar values of IC50 and Emax. In conclusion, MBZ demonstrates high growth-inhibitory/proapoptotic activity, chemosensitization property to ONC201 and the ability to overcome ONC201 resistance in DMG cell cultures, proposing as a new low-toxicity therapeutic for DMG, with a potential to be used in second-line treatment and/or in combination protocols.
