Abstract
The high-mobility group box (HMGB) family consists of four DNA-binding proteins that regulate chromatin structure and function. In addition to their intracellular functions, recent studies have revealed their involvement as extracellular damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), contributing to immune responses and tumor development. The HMGB family promotes tumorigenesis by modulating multiple processes including proliferation, metabolic reprogramming, metastasis, immune evasion, and drug resistance. Due to the predominant focus on HMGB1 in the literature, little is known about the remaining members of this family. This review summarizes the structural, distributional, as well as functional similarities and distinctions among members of the HMGB family, followed by a comprehensive exploration of their roles in tumor development. We emphasize the distributional and functional hierarchy of the HMGB family at both the organizational and subcellular levels, with a focus on their relationship with the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), aiming to prospect potential strategies for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
HMGB3 protein belongs to the group of HMGB proteins from the superfamily of nuclear proteins with high electrophoretic mobility. HMGB proteins play an active part in almost all cellular processes associated with DNA-repair, replication, recombination, and transcription-and, additionally, can act as cytokines during infectious processes, inflammatory responses, and injuries. Although the structure and functions of HMGB1 and HMGB2 proteins have been intensively studied for decades, very little attention has been paid to HMGB3 until recently. In this review, we summarize the currently available data on the molecular structure, post-translational modifications, and biological functions of HMGB3, as well as the possible role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system-dependent HMGB3 degradation in tumor development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reproductive performance of chickens mainly depends on the development of follicles. Abnormal follicle development can lead to decreased reproductive performance and even ovarian disease among chickens. Chicken is the only non-human animal with a high incidence of spontaneous ovarian cancer. In recent years, the involvement of circRNAs in follicle development and atresia regulation has been confirmed. RESULTS In the present study, we used healthy and atretic chicken follicles for circRNA RNC-seq. The results showed differential expression of circRALGPS2. It was then confirmed that circRALGPS2 can translate into a protein, named circRALGPS2-212aa, which has IRES activity. Next, we found that circRALGPS2-212aa promotes apoptosis and autophagy in chicken granulosa cells by forming a complex with PARP1 and HMGB1. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that circRALGPS2 can regulate chicken granulosa cell apoptosis and autophagy through the circRALGPS2-212aa/PARP1/HMGB1 axis.

Abstract
High mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) plays a complex role in tumor biology. When released into the extracellular space, it binds to the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) located on the cell membrane, playing an important role in tumor development by regulating a number of biological processes and signal pathways. In this review, we outline the multifaceted functions of the HMGB1/RAGE axis, which encompasses tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, metastasis, and angiogenesis. This axis is instrumental in tumor progression, promoting tumor cell proliferation, autophagy, metastasis, and angiogenesis while inhibiting apoptosis, through pivotal signaling pathways, including MAPK, NF-κB, PI3K/AKT, ERK, and STAT3. Notably, small molecules, such as miRNA-218, ethyl pyruvate (EP), and glycyrrhizin exhibit the ability to inhibit the HMGB1/RAGE axis, restraining tumor development. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of the HMGB1/RAGE axis in tumors is of great importance, and the development of inhibitors targeting this axis warrants further exploration.

Abstract
PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are a kind of cancer therapy that targets poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. PARPi is the first clinically approved drug to exert synthetic lethality by obstructing the DNA single-strand break repair process. Despite the significant therapeutic effect in patients with homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiency, innate and acquired resistance to PARPi is a main challenge in the clinic. In this review, we mainly discussed the underlying mechanisms of PARPi resistance and summarized the promising solutions to overcome PARPi resistance, aiming at extending PARPi application and improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
ADP-ribose is a versatile modification that plays a critical role in diverse cellular processes. The addition of this modification is catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases, among which notable poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes are intimately involved in the maintenance of genome integrity. The role of ADP-ribose modifications during DNA damage repair is of significant interest for the proper development of PARP inhibitors targeted toward the treatment of diseases caused by genomic instability. More specifically, inhibitors promoting PARP persistence on DNA lesions, termed PARP "trapping," is considered a desirable characteristic. In this review, we discuss key classes of proteins involved in ADP-ribose signaling (writers, readers, and erasers) with a focus on those involved in the maintenance of genome integrity. An overview of factors that modulate PARP1 and PARP2 persistence at sites of DNA lesions is also discussed. Finally, we clarify aspects of the PARP trapping model in light of recent studies that characterize the kinetics of PARP1 and PARP2 recruitment at sites of lesions. These findings suggest that PARP trapping could be considered as the continuous recruitment of PARP molecules to sites of lesions, rather than the physical stalling of molecules. Recent studies and novel research tools have elevated the level of understanding of ADP-ribosylation, marking a coming-of-age for this interesting modification.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) (PARylation) by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) is a highly regulated process that consists of the covalent addition of polymers of ADP-ribose (PAR) through post-translational modifications of substrate proteins or non-covalent interactions with PAR via PAR binding domains and motifs, thereby reprogramming their functions. This modification is particularly known for its central role in the maintenance of genomic stability. However, how genomic integrity is controlled by an intricate interplay of covalent PARylation and non-covalent PAR binding remains largely unknown. Of importance, PARylation has caught recent attention for providing a mechanistic basis of synthetic lethality involving PARP inhibitors (PARPi), most notably in homologous recombination (HR)-deficient breast and ovarian tumors. The molecular mechanisms responsible for the anti-cancer effect of PARPi are thought to implicate both catalytic inhibition and trapping of PARP enzymes on DNA. However, the relative contribution of each on tumor-specific cytotoxicity is still unclear. It is paramount to understand these PAR-dependent mechanisms, given that resistance to PARPi is a challenge in the clinic. Deciphering the complex interplay between covalent PARylation and non-covalent PAR binding and defining how PARP trapping and non-trapping events contribute to PARPi anti-tumour activity is essential for developing improved therapeutic strategies. With this perspective, we review the current understanding of PARylation biology in the context of the DNA damage response (DDR) and the mechanisms underlying PARPi activity and resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer, particularly epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Our previous study revealed that high HMGB3 levels are associated with poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis in patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma; however, the role of HMGB3 in EOC proliferation and metastasis remains unknown. METHODS MTT, clonogenic, and EdU assays were used to assess cell proliferation. Transwell assays were performed to detect cell migration and invasion. Signaling pathways involved in HMGB3 function were identified by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). MAPK/ERK signaling pathway protein levels were evaluated by western blot. RESULTS HMGB3 knockdown inhibited ovarian cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, whereas HMGB3 overexpression facilitated these processes. RNA-seq showed that HMGB3 participates in regulating stem cell pluripotency and the MAPK signaling pathway. We further proved that HMGB3 promotes ovarian cancer stemness, proliferation, and metastasis through activating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. In addition, we demonstrated that HMGB3 promotes tumor growth in a xenograft model via MAPK/ERK signaling. CONCLUSIONS HMGB3 promotes ovarian cancer malignant phenotypes and stemness through the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Targeting HMGB3 is a promising strategy for ovarian cancer treatment that may improve the prognosis of women with this disease. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common malignant tumor in gynecology. LMNB1 is an important component of the nuclear skeleton. The expression of LMNB1 in ovarian cancer is significantly higher than that in normal tissues, but its role in tumor still needs comprehensive investigation. In this study, we overexpressed and knocked down LMNB1 in ovarian cancer cells and explore the effect of LMNB1 on the cell proliferation, migration and the underlying mechanism. We analyzed the expression levels of LMNB1 in ovarian cancer and their clinical relevance by using bioinformatics methods, qRT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. To state the effect and mechanism of LMNB1 on OC in vitro and in vivo, we performed mouse xenograft studies, CCK8, cloning formation, Edu incorporation, wound healing, transwell and flow cytometry assay in stable LMNB1 knockdown OC cells, following by RNA-seq. Overexpression of LMNB1 indicates the progression of OC. LMNB1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and migration of OC cells by suppressing the FGF1-mediated PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Our study shows LMNB1 as a novel prognostic factor and therapeutic target in OC.

Abstract
PARP inhibitors are a potential class of chemotherapeutic drugs but PARP inhibitor response has not been explored systematically. We lack a specific understanding of the subset of the proteome preferentially modified in various cancers by PARP inhibitors. Implications of PARP inhibitor and PARP1 in cervical cancer treatment and resistance are not fully elucidated. We conducted a mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of cervical cancer Hela cells treated with olaparib. We aimed to identify the alteration in the protein signaling pathway induced by PARP inhibitors beyond the DNA damage response pathway. Our data demonstrate a significant reduction in PARP activity and enhanced cell death after olaparib treatment. We further observed articulated proteomic changes with a significant enrichment of proteins in diverse cellular processes. The differentially expressed proteins were predominantly associated with RNA metabolism, mRNA splicing, processing, and RNA binding. Our data also identified proteins that could probably contribute to survival mechanisms resulting in resistance to PARP inhibitors. Hence, we put forth the overview of proteomic changes induced by PARP inhibitor olaparib in cervical cancer cells. This study highlights the significant proteins modified during PARP inhibition and thus could be a probable target for combination therapies with PARP inhibitors in cervical cancer. SIGNIFICANCE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological tumors with a lack of effective treatment modalities especially in advanced/recurrent disease. Nevertheless, recently, new small molecules have emerged as an effective approach for the management of ovarian cancer patients, especially in the maintenance setting. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the role of small molecules used in the management of high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The authors performed a critical review of current evidence and ongoing studies. Of note, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are the most intriguing medications in this setting. EXPERT OPINION Protein-targeted therapies against tumor tissues have progressed significantly in the last years due to an enhanced knowledge of the biological and molecular processes of carcinogenesis. Treatment with small molecules allows the targeting of specific proteins involved in cancer biology. TKIs seem promising but further data are necessary to assess the pros and cons of adopting this treatment modality. PARP inhibitors represent the new standard of care for ovarian cancer patients harboring either a BRCA mutation or with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). Interestingly, the accumulation of data has highlighted that PARP inhibitors provide benefits even in patients with HR proficient tumors.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a key DNA damage sensor that is recruited to damaged sites after DNA strand breaks to initiate DNA repair. This is achieved by catalyzing attachment of ADP-ribose moieties, which are donated from NAD+, on the amino acid residues of itself or other acceptor proteins. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) that inhibit PARP catalytic activity and induce PARP trapping are commonly used for treating BRCA1/2-deficient breast and ovarian cancers through synergistic lethality. Unfortunately, resistance to PARPi frequently occurs. In this review, we present the novel substrates and regulators of the PARP1-catalyzed poly (ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylatison) that have been identified in the last 3 years. The overall aim is the presentation of protein interactions of potential therapeutic intervention for overcoming the resistance to PARPi.

Abstract
Background In the past decade, considerable research efforts on gastric cancer (GC) have been expended, however, little advancement has been made owing to the lack of effective biomarkers and treatment options. Herein, we aimed to examine the levels of expression, mutations, and clinical relevance of HMGs in GC to provide sufficient scientific evidence for clinical decision-making and risk management. Methods GC samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) XENA, Human Protein Atlas (HPA), Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), Kaplan-Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, STRING, LinkedOmics, and DAVID databases were employed. The "ggplot2" package in the R software (×64 3.6.3) was used to thoroughly analyze the effects of HMGs. qRT-PCR was performed to assess HMG levels in GC cell lines. Results A total of 375 GC tissues and 32 paraneoplastic tissues were analyzed. The levels of HMGA1, HMGA2, HMGB1, HMGB2, HMGB3, HMGN1, HMGN2, and HMGN4 expression were increased in GC tissues relative to normal gastric tissues. HMGA1, HMGA2, HMGB1, HMGB2, and HMGB3 were highly expressed in GC cell lines. The OS was significantly different in the group showing low expressions of HMGA1, HMGA2, HMGB1, HMGB2, HMGB3, HMGN2, HMGN3, and HMGN5. There was a significant difference in RFS between the groups with low HMGA2, HMGB3, and high HMGN2 expression. The levels of HMGA2, HMGB3, and HMGN1 had a higher accuracy for prediction to distinguish GC from normal tissues (AUC value > 0.9). HMGs were tightly associated with immune infiltration and tumor immune escape and antitumor immunity most likely participates in HMG-mediated oncogenesis in GC. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that HMGs played a vital role in the cell cycle pathway. Conclusions Our results strongly suggest a vital role of HMGs in GC. HMGA2 and HMGB3 could be potential markers for prognostic prediction and treatment targets for GC by interrupting the cell cycle pathway. Our findings might provide renewed perspectives for the selection of prognostic biomarkers among HMGs in GC and may contribute to the determination of the optimal strategy for the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
cAMP-dependent pathway is one of the most significant signaling cascades in healthy and neoplastic ovarian cells. Working through its major effector proteins-PKA and EPAC-it regulates gene expression and many cellular functions. PKA promotes the phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) which mediates gene transcription, cell migration, mitochondrial homeostasis, cell proliferation, and death. EPAC, on the other hand, is involved in cell adhesion, binding, differentiation, and interaction between cell junctions. Ovarian cancer growth and metabolism largely depend on changes in the signal processing of the cAMP-PKA-CREB axis, often associated with neoplastic transformation, metastasis, proliferation, and inhibition of apoptosis. In addition, the intracellular level of cAMP also determines the course of other pathways including AKT, ERK, MAPK, and mTOR, that are hypo- or hyperactivated among patients with ovarian neoplasm. With this review, we summarize the current findings on cAMP signaling in the ovary and its association with carcinogenesis, multiplication, metastasis, and survival of cancer cells. Additionally, we indicate that targeting particular stages of cAMP-dependent processes might provide promising therapeutic opportunities for the effective management of patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) exploit the concept of synthetic lethality and offer great promise in the treatment of tumors with deficiencies in homologous recombination (HR) repair. PARPi exert antitumor activity by blocking Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) and trapping PARP1 on damaged DNA. To date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved four PARPi for the treatment of several cancer types including ovarian, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancer. Although patients with HR-deficient tumors benefit from PARPi, majority of tumors ultimately develop acquired resistance to PARPi. Furthermore, even though BRCA1/2 mutations are commonly used as markers of PARPi sensitivity in current clinical practice, not all patients with BRCA1/2 mutations have PARPi-sensitive disease. Thus, there is an urgent need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of PARPi resistance to support the development of rational effective treatment strategies aimed at overcoming resistance to PARPi, as well as reliable biomarkers to accurately identify patients who will most likely benefit from treatment with PARPi, either as monotherapy or in combination with other agents, so called marker-guided effective therapy (Mget). In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms driving the efficacy of and resistance to PARPi as well as emerging therapeutic strategies to overcome PARPi resistance. We also highlight the identification of potential markers to predict PARPi resistance and guide promising PARPi-based combination strategies.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been a huge threat for people's health and finding effective target therapy is urgent and important. WWP2, as one of E3 ubiquitin ligase, is involved in many biological processes by specifically binding to substrates. PARP1 plays a role in cell apoptosis and is considered as a therapeutic target of certain cancers. In this study, we firstly found that WWP2 expressed higher in newly diagnosed ALL patients comparing with complete remission (CR) ALL patients and normal control people, and WWP2 in relapse ALL patients expressed higher than normal control people. WWP2 expression was related with the FAB subtype of ALL and the proportion of blast cells in bone marrow blood tested by flow cytometry. We demonstrated knockout WWP2 inhibited the ALL growth and enhanced apoptosis induced by Dox in vitro and vivo for the first time. WWP2 negatively regulated and interacted with PARP1 and WWP2 mechanically degraded PARP1 through polyubiquitin-proteasome pathway in ALL. These findings suggested WWP2 played a role in ALL development as well as growth and apoptosis, and also displayed a regulatory pathway of PARP1, which provided a new potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ALL.

Abstract
Abstract
Synthetic lethality has been widely concerned because of its potential role in cancer treatment, which can be harnessed to selectively kill cancer cells via identifying inactive genes in a specific cancer type and further targeting the corresponding synthetic lethal partners. Herein, to obtain cancer-specific synthetic lethal interactions, we aimed to predict genetic interactions via a pan-cancer analysis from multiple molecular levels using random forest and then develop a user-friendly database. First, based on collected public gene pairs with synthetic lethal interactions, candidate gene pairs were analyzed via integrating multi-omics data, mainly including DNA mutation, copy number variation, methylation and mRNA expression data. Then, integrated features were used to predict cancer-specific synthetic lethal interactions using random forest. Finally, SLOAD (http://www.tmliang.cn/SLOAD) was constructed via integrating these findings, which was a user-friendly database for data searching, browsing, downloading and analyzing. These results can provide candidate cancer-specific synthetic lethal interactions, which will contribute to drug designing in cancer treatment that can promote therapy strategies based on the principle of synthetic lethality.
