Specific killing of BRCA2-deficient tumours with inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase

HE Bryant, N Schultz, HD Thomas, KM Parker… - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP1) facilitates DNA repair by binding to DNA breaks and
attracting DNA repair proteins to the site of damage 1 , 2 , 3 . Nevertheless, PARP1 -/- mice …

PARP is activated at stalled forks to mediate Mre11‐dependent replication restart and recombination

HE Bryant, E Petermann, N Schultz, AS Jemth… - The EMBO …, 2009 - embopress.org
If replication forks are perturbed, a multifaceted response including several DNA repair and
cell cycle checkpoint pathways is activated to ensure faithful DNA replication. Here, we show …

[HTML][HTML] Critical research gaps and translational priorities for the successful prevention and treatment of breast cancer

…, JP Blaydes, K Brennan, NJ Brown, HE Bryant… - Breast Cancer …, 2013 - Springer
Introduction Breast cancer remains a significant scientific, clinical and societal challenge.
This gap analysis has reviewed and critically assessed enduring issues and new challenges …

Spontaneous homologous recombination is induced by collapsed replication forks that are caused by endogenous DNA single-strand breaks

N Saleh-Gohari, HE Bryant, N Schultz… - … and cellular biology, 2005 - Am Soc Microbiol
Homologous recombination is vital to repair fatal DNA damage during DNA replication.
However, very little is known about the substrates or repair pathways for homologous …

Transition metal complexes as photosensitisers in one-and two-photon photodynamic therapy

LK McKenzie, HE Bryant, JA Weinstein - Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exploits light-activated compounds for therapeutic use. It relies
on a photosensitiser (PS) that is inactive in the absence of light. When irradiated, the PS …

Reduced expression of miRNA-27a modulates cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer by targeting the cystine/glutamate exchanger SLC7A11

…, S Peter, S Bertz, A Hartmann, HE Bryant… - Clinical cancer …, 2014 - AACR
Purpose: Resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy is a major obstacle to bladder cancer
treatment. We aimed to identify microRNAs (miRNA) that are dysregulated in cisplatin-…

Poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase is hyperactivated in homologous recombination–defective cells

…, B Vischioni, N Schultz, J Solomons, HE Bryant… - Cancer research, 2010 - AACR
Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is activated by DNA single-strand breaks (SSB)
or at stalled replication forks to facilitate DNA repair. Inhibitors of PARP efficiently kill …

PI3King the lock: targeting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway as a novel therapeutic strategy in neuroblastoma

D King, D Yeomanson, HE Bryant - Journal of pediatric …, 2015 - journals.lww.com
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial cancer in childhood. High-risk neuroblastoma
continues to have a poor prognosis and there is an urgent need to design biologically …

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) in homologous recombination and as a target for cancer therapy

T Helleday, HE Bryant, N Schultz - Cell cycle, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) binds to DNA breaks to facilitate DNA repair. However,
the role of PARP-1 in DNA repair appears to not be critical since PARP-1 knockout mice …

[HTML][HTML] DNA repair in prostate cancer: biology and clinical implications

J Mateo, G Boysen, CE Barbieri, HE Bryant, E Castro… - European urology, 2017 - Elsevier
Context For more precise, personalized care in prostate cancer (PC), a new classification
based on molecular features relevant for prognostication and treatment stratification is needed. …
