Trabectedin is an antitumoralagent that modulates EWSR1-FLI1 transcriptional functions, causing DNA damage.Interestingly, PARP1 is also a transcriptional regulator of EWSR1-FLI1, and PARPinhdisrupts the DDR machinery. Thus, given the impact and apparent specificity of bothagents with regard to the DNA damage/DDR system and EWSR1-FLI1 activity inES, we decided to explore the activity of combining PARPinh and Trabectedin in invitro and in vivo experiments. The combination of Olaparib and Trabectedin wasfound to be highly synergistic, inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, andthe accumulation of G2/M. The drug combination also enhanced γH2AX intranuclearaccumulation as a result of DNA damage induction, DNA fragmentation and global DDRderegulation, while EWSR1-FLI1 target expression remained unaffected. The effect ofthe drug combination was corroborated in a mouse xenograft model of ES and, moreimportantly, in two ES patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models in which the tumorsshowed complete regression. In conclusion, the combination of the two agents leadsto a biologically significant deregulation of the DDR machinery that elicits relevantantitumor activity in preclinical models and might represent a promising therapeutictool that should be further explored for translation to the clinical setting.
