Quantitative RNAseq Analysis of Treatment Outcomes with Talazoparib, Romidepsin or Combination in MBL2 cell line

To explore the molecular mechanisms by which romidepsin potentiates the effect of talazoparib, RNA sequencing analysis of MBL2 cell lines treated with talazoparib, romidepsin, or talazoparib plus romidepsin was performed. 40% of the 2023 genes in combination were from talazoparib, whereas only 5.9% of the genes deregulated during the treatment with the combination of talazoparib plus romidepsin were from the effect of romidepsin. 94 genes were presented in all three treatment groups and included upregulation of Prdm1, Dusp5, and CD74, among others. Analysis of genes responsible for DNA repair, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis demonstrated the contribution of romidepsin to downregulation of DNA repair, the synergistic effect of romidepsin and talazoparib on downregulation of genes of cell cycle leading to cell cycle arrest, and activation of apoptosis by talazoparib predominantly. mRNA profile 24 hrs after treatment of MBL2 cells with talazoparib, romidepsin, or talazoparib with romidepsin
