Nonetheless, four cell lines exhibited intact DUB activity and two had nuclear BAP1 localization. Half maximal-inhibitory concentrations of olaparib and talazoparib ranged from 4.8 μM to greater than 50 μM and 0.039 μM to greater than 5 μM, respectively, classifying them into sensitive (two) or resistant (seven) cells, independent of their BAP1 status. Cell lines with BAP1 knockout resulted in the loss of BAP1 DUB activity but did not increase sensitivity to talazoparib. Response to PARPI tended to be associated with high SLFN11 expression, and combination with temozolomide increased sensitivity of cells with low or no MGMT expression. CONCLUSIONS BAP1 status does not determine sensitivity to PARPIs in patient-derived mesothelioma cell lines. Combination of PARPI with TMZ may be beneficial for patients whose tumors have high SLFN11 and low or no MGMT expression. Published by Elsevier Inc.Currently there is no established guidance on how to process and evaluate resected lung cancer specimens following neoadjuvant therapy in the setting of clinical trials and clinical practice. There is also a lack of precise definitions on the degree of pathologic response, including major pathologic response (MPR) or complete pathologic response (CPR). In other cancers such as osteosarcoma, colorectal, breast and esophageal carcinomas, there have been multiple studies investigating pathologic assessment of the effects of neoadjuvant therapy including some detailed recommendations on how to handle these specimens. A comprehensive mapping approach to gross and histologic processing of osteosarcomas following induction therapy has been used for over 40 years. The purpose of this article is to outline detailed recommendations on how to process lung cancer resection specimens and to define pathologic response including MPR and CPR following neoad
