    Abstract Deficiencies in homologous recombination (HR) repair lead to an accumulation of DNA damage and can predispose individuals to cancer. Polymerase theta (Pol θ, encoded by POLQ) is overexpressed by HR-deficient cancers and promotes cancer cell survival by mediating error-prone double-stranded break (DSB) repair and facilitating resistance against poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor treatment. In this issue of the JCI, Oh, Wang, et al. report on the impact of Pol θ inhibition on activation of antitumor immunity. The authors used pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell and mouse models characterized by HR-associated gene alterations and POLQ overexpression. POLQ knockdown showed synthetic lethality in combination with gene mutations involving DNA repair, including BRCA1, BRCA2, and ATM. Notably, Pol θ deficiency or inhibition suppressed tumor growth, increased the accumulation of unrepaired DNA damage, and enhanced T cell infiltration via the cGAS/STING pathway. These findings suggest a broader scope for Pol θ inhibition in HR-deficient cancers.

    Abstract Radiation therapy continues to break down technological barriers to deliver ionizing radiation with exceptional anatomical precision. However, some tumor types and subtypes exhibit intrinsic biological resistance to radiotherapy, which can result in unsuccessful tumor eradication or symptom palliation. Radiation resistance can result from alterations in diverse genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic pathways. Therapeutic targeting of these tumor-specific alterations may provide tumor-selective radiosensitization with relative sparing of adjacent normal tissues. This issue of Seminars in Radiation Oncology presents a series of articles that describe recent progress towards genomically-directed radiosensitization.

    Abstract Genomic stability relies on a multifaceted and evolutionarily conserved DNA damage response (DDR). In multicellular organisms, an integral facet of the DDR involves the activation of the immune system to eliminate cells with persistent DNA damage. Recent research has shed light on a complex array of nucleic acid sensors crucial for innate immune activation in response to oncogenic stress-associated DNA damage, a process vital for suppressing tumor formation. Yet, these immune sensing pathways may also be co-opted to foster tolerance of chromosomal instability, thereby driving cancer progression. This review aims to provide an updated overview of how the innate immune system detects and responds to DNA damage. An improved understanding of the regulatory intricacies governing this immune response may uncover new avenues for cancer prevention and therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technology, providing spatially resolved transcriptional profiles, facilitates advanced understanding of key biological processes related to health and disease. Sequencing-based ST technologies provide whole-transcriptome profiles but are limited by the non-single cell-level resolution. Lack of knowledge in the number of cells or cell type composition at each spot can lead to invalid downstream analysis, which is a critical issue recognized in ST data analysis. Methods developed, however, tend to underuse histological images, which conceptually provide important and complementary information including anatomical structure and distribution of cells. To fill in the gaps, we present POLARIS, a versatile ST analysis method that can perform cell type deconvolution, identify anatomical or functional layer-wise differentially expressed (LDE) genes, and enable cell composition inference from histology images. Applied to four tissues, POLARIS demonstrates high deconvolution accuracy, accurately predicts cell composition solely from images, and identifies LDE genes that are biologically relevant and meaningful.

    Abstract Cellular pathways that repair chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) have pivotal roles in cell growth, development and cancer. These DSB repair pathways have been the target of intensive investigation, but one pathway - alternative end joining (a-EJ) - has long resisted elucidation. In this Review, we highlight recent progress in our understanding of a-EJ, especially the assignment of DNA polymerase theta (Polθ) as the predominant mediator of a-EJ in most eukaryotes, and discuss a potential molecular mechanism by which Polθ-mediated end joining (TMEJ) occurs. We address possible cellular functions of TMEJ in resolving DSBs that are refractory to repair by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), DSBs generated following replication fork collapse and DSBs present owing to stalling of repair by homologous recombination. We also discuss how these context-dependent cellular roles explain how TMEJ can both protect against and cause genome instability, and the emerging potential of Polθ as a therapeutic target in cancer.
