Abstract: 

ARID1A has emerged as a tumor suppressor gene, which is mutated in a broad spectrum of cancers, especially in those gynecologic cancers arising from ectopic or eutopic endometrium including ovarian clear cell, ovarian endometrioid and uterine endometrioid carcinomas. As a subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler, ARID1A facilitates target-specific binding of SWI/SNF complexes to chromatin, thereby altering the accessibility of chromatin to a variety of nuclear factors. In human cancer, ARID1A possesses not only features of a gatekeeper, regulating cell cycle progression, but also features of a caretaker, preventing genomic instability through DNA damage repair. Moreover, an increasing body of evidence suggests that ARID1A containing SWI/SNF complexes play a pivotal role in transcriptional regulation of genes involving in several cancer-associated  signaling pathways. In this seminar, we will discuss the mechanisms underlying how ARID1A mutations cause cancer progression and the clinical implications of synthetic lethality in developing ARID1A mutation-based therapeutics.
