Platinum-based chemotherapy remains the main systemic treatment of ovarian cancer (OC). However, the inevitable development of platinum and poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) resistance is associated with poor outcomes, which becomes a major obstacle in the management of this disease. The present study developed “all-in-one” nanoparticles that contained the PARPi olaparib and gallium (Ga) (III) (olaparib-Ga) to effectively reverse PARPi resistance in platinum-resistant A2780-cis and SKOV3-cis OC cells and in SKOV3-cis tumor models. Notably, the olaparib-Ga suppressed SKOV3-cis tumor growth with negligible toxicity. Moreover, the suppression effect was more evident when combining olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin, as evaluated in A2780-cis and SKOV3-cis cells. Mechanistically, the combined treatment induced DNA damage, which elicited the activation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)/AMT- and Rad3-related (ATR) checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1)/Chk2 signal transduction pathways. This led to the arrest of cell cycle progression at S and G2/M phases, which eventually resulted in apoptosis and cell death due to unrepairable DNA damage. In addition, effective therapeutic responses to olaparib-Ga and cisplatin combination or olaparib-Ga and carboplatin combination were observed in SKOV3-cis tumor-bearing animal models. Altogether, the present findings demonstrate that olaparib-Ga has therapeutic implications in platinum-resistant OC cells, and the combination of olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin may be promising for treating patients with OC who exhibit resistance to both PARPi and platinum.

Introduction

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the main cause of mortality because of female reproductive cancer [1,2]. Despite extensive investigation to understand the mechanisms of OC, standard therapeutic treatments are still based on optimal cyto-reductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. However, the majority of patients succumb to OC recurrence, because >80% of cases become treatment resistant, with > 207,000 mortalities yearly worldwide, resulting in a 30% 5-year survival rate [3]. Targeted strategies are widely used in cancer treatment. The Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of poly (adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) for patients with OC [4]. However, almost invariably, the tumors eventually develop resistance to chemotherapy and PARPi, thus limiting the efficacy of OC treatment. Therefore, developing efficacious therapies for resistant OC remains an active area of research, which will be of important benefit to the survival of patients.
Platinum-based compounds, particularly cisplatin and carboplatin, exert anticancer activity prominently through causing DNA damage, followed by activating the DNA damage response and promoting apoptosis [5]. Although tumors have an initial sensitivity to platinum-base therapies, they often eventually develop chemoresistance in patients with OC. It has been found that resistance to platinum may depend on the upregulation of the transporter gene adenosine triphosphate binding cassette subfamily B member 1 [6], reversion of breast cancer gene (BRCA1) and BRCA2 germ line alleles [7–9] or impaired apoptotic pathways [5,10]. These considerations also apply for PARPi resistance. Platinum resistance and tumor homologous recombination (HR) proficiency can explain PARPi resistance [11,12]. Increased drug efflux [13,14], loss of PARPi function [15,16], reactivation of HR [6,17], loss of poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase [18,19], and stabilization of the replication fork [20,21] can contribute to a PARPi-resistant phenotype. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop reliable treatments to overcome platinum and PARPi drug resistance.
The fabrication of metal nanoparticles has recently received intense attention for the treatment of cancers including OC [22–27]. For instance, it has been reported that iron (Fe) oxide nanoparticles could exert remarkable anticancer activity against OC cells [28,29]. Gallium (Ga) is second after platinum in its use in cancer treatment [30,31]. Ga-based nanoparticles have demonstrated anticancer activities in malignancies, such as lung, prostate, and breast cancer [32–34]. The main mechanisms of Ga in cancer therapy have been ascribed to the resemblance of Ga3+ to Fe3+, resulting in Fe deprivation and subsequent inhibited activity of several enzymes and mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis [35–39]. Our group has recently combined the PARPi olaparib with Ga (III) nanoparticles (olaparib-Ga) to effectively retrain HR-proficient OC cell proliferation and tumor growth [40]. However, the effects and mechanisms of olaparib-Ga nanodrug on resistant OC cells remain unknown.
It was hypothesized that olaparib-Ga could also increase the DNA damage and tumor cell death in resistant OC cells. The present study demonstrated that olaparib-Ga resensitized platinum-resistant A2780-cis and SKOV3-cis OC cells to PARPi, resulting in increased DNA damage, apoptosis, and tumor cell death. This nanodrug exhibited enhanced antitumor efficiency against SKOV3-cis cells in vivo. Notably, olaparib-Ga could be used in therapeutic strategies for resistant OC cells. The current study revealed that olaparib-Ga in combination with cisplatin or carboplatin effectively recovered the sensitivity to platinum in resistant OC cells. The present study better characterized the understanding of the mechanism of the drug combination to improve antitumor response. The current results showed that the combinations could induce DNA damage, followed by the activation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and AMT- and Rad3-related (ATR), which subsequently activated the checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1)/Chk2 cell cycle checkpoints. The activities of cyclin A/cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and cyclin B1/CDK1 were then suppressed by the activation of the cell cycle checkpoints, and cell cycle progression was arrested at the S and G2/M phases. Cells with irreparable DNA damage eventually underwent apoptosis and cell death. The present study also showed that combined therapy significantly suppressed tumor growth in the SKOV3-cis tumor-bearing animal models. These novel findings suggest that olaparib-Ga represents a promising nanodrug to overcome PARPi and platinum resistance in OC, which is of great importance for improving the therapeutic outcomes of this disease.

Characterization of olaparib-Ga in platinum-resistant OC cells
The present study explored the performance of olaparib-Ga to overcome PARPi and platinum resistance in OC cells resistant to PARPi and platinum. The olaparib-Ga nanodrug was prepared on the basis of our previous description [40]. Briefly, the bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein was used to react with Ga3+ to form the BSA-Ga3+ complex [41]. Gallic acid molecule was then added to react with BSA-Ga3+ complex via the formation of phenolate carboxylate group–Ga3+ coordination bonds to form the nanoformulation [42]. Finally, the BSA was utilized to connect olaparib via the hydrophobic effect. Meanwhile, the BSA was also served as a stabilizer to form the nanodrug. As shown in Fig. 1A, olaparib-Ga possesses uniform spherical morphology with a diameter of 6 to 8 nm.
Because of the mineralized BSA-based preparation method, the olaparib-Ga nanodrug exhibited high stability in various solutions. Dynamic light scattering results exhibited slight changes in particle size when the olaparib-Ga was dispersed in ultrapure water (water), phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), fetal bovine serum, and Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium, indicating the good stability. The particle size was ~13, ~20, ~13, and ~15 nm in its hydrodynamic diameter, respectively. Meanwhile, the corresponding polydispersity index values were ~0.246, ~0.292, ~0.279, and ~0.263 (Fig. 1B). Because BSA protein was utilized as a template agent for nanostructure formation, the conformational change of BSA was an important factor [43–45]. The circular dichroism curves of BSA-Ga and olaparib-Ga were similar to that of pure BSA (Fig. S1A), demonstrating that the secondary structure of BSA was not changed during the nanodrug preparation.
The zeta potential results (Fig. 1C) showed that the olaparib-Ga nanodrug was slightly positively charged because of the loading of the negatively charged olaparib molecule. As shown in Fig. 1D, the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of olaparib, BSA-Ga, and olaparib-Ga nanodrug confirmed the composition of the olaparib-Ga nanodrug. The peaks containing O 1s, C 1s, and N 1s were attributed to the organic components in all 3 groups. The characteristic F 1s element attributed to the olaparib drug was observed in the olaparib-Ga group (Fig. 1E and F). Meanwhile, the Ga 3d peaks were remarkable in BSA-Ga and olaparib-Ga groups (Fig. S1B). Furthermore, the Raman spectrum was also used to investigate the olaparib combination (Fig. 1G) [46]. The clear Raman peaks around 524, 575, 649, 711, 1,025, 1,193, 1,343, and 1,445 cm−1 were observed in olaparib molecule, but there are almost no overlapped peaks in BSA-Ga. Meanwhile, the olaparib-Ga exhibited similar diminished characteristic peaks with the pure olaparib molecule, suggesting the successful loading of the olaparib. Therefore, the final assemblies contain all the components and confirm the correct assembly of the nanoparticle.
Subsequently, the distribution of olaparib-Ga in SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis OC cells was first confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Fig. 1H). Elemental mapping revealed significantly increased Ga3+ signals in SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis cells treated with olaparib-Ga (Fig. 1H). The cellular uptake properties of olaparib-Ga in these OC cells were monitored. After incubating IR780/olaparib-Ga with SKOV3-cis cells for 6 h, the majority of IR780/olaparib-Ga efficiently entered the cytoplasm of the cells. After 12 h of treatment, part of IR780/olaparib-Ga also entered the nuclei of the cells. Similar results were found in A2780-cis cells (Fig. S2).
Next, the present study examined the pharmacokinetics of olaparib-Ga in healthy mice. After intravenous administration of olaparib-Ga nanodrug containing 250 μg/ml of Ga3+, the vein blood was drawn at the indicated time points. The concentration of Ga3+ was then examined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy at the indicated time points (Fig. 1I). Pharmacokinetics was then evaluated using Drug Analysis System 2.0. The half-life (t1/2) of blood circulation of olaparib-Ga nanodrug was ~0.67 h (Fig. 1I). Furthermore, the biodistribution profiles of olaparib-Ga were estimated in luciferase SKOV3-cis-derived xenograft models. The SKOV3-cis-luc xenograft-bearing mice received intravenous injections of IR780 or IR780/olaparib-Ga. The treated mice were imaged by the In Vivo Imaging System at the indicated time points postinjection (Fig. 1J and Fig. S1C), and the tumors and main organs were then obtained for biodistribution quantification. The olaparib-Ga-treated group showed a higher tumor accumulation than the IR780-treated group (Fig. 1K and Fig. S1D).
Olaparib-Ga resensitizes platinum-resistant OC cells to PARPi
The present study evaluated the cytotoxicity of olaparib-Ga and olaparib against platinum-resistant OC cells (Fig. 2A). The half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of olaparib was ~605.3 μM in SKOV3-cis cells and ~584.8 μM in A2780-cis cells, indicating a PARPi-resistant phenotype in the 2 cell lines. The IC50 of olaparib-Ga decreased to 113.5 μM in SKOV3-cis cells and 118.6 μM in A2780-cis cells, confirming the sensitivity of these olaparib and platinum-resistant OC cells to olaparib-Ga. The cytotoxicity of olaparib-Ga was further assessed at different treatment times. Higher cell viability inhibition was observed in SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis cells treated with olaparib-Ga compared with that of cells treated with olaparib in a time-dependent manner (Fig. 2B). Olaparib-Ga also decreased the colony formation ability more than olaparib did in both resistant OC cell lines (Fig. 2C).
Because the accumulation of DNA damage is the main mechanism of olaparib-Ga, this hypothesis was investigated in resistant OC cells. The DNA double-strand break (DSB) marker γH2AX was examined. As expected, γH2AX expression significantly increased with olaparib-Ga treatment in both SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis cells, indicating the presence of DSBs (Fig. 2D). The accumulation of DNA DSBs led to significantly increased levels of apoptosis in the olaparib-Ga treatment group (Fig. 2E). Taken together, olaparib-Ga decreased the viability of PARPi/platinum-resistant OC cells via DNA damage-induced apoptosis.
Olaparib-Ga retains SKOV3-cis tumor growth in vivo
The current study next determined whether olaparib-Ga could suppress PARPi/platinum-resistant tumor growth in vivo (Fig. 3A). SKOV3-cis tumors treated with olaparib-Ga were significantly inhibited compared with those treated with control and olaparib in mouse xenograft models (Fig. 3B to E). The results of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining also confirmed the decreased level of Ki-67 in tumors subject to olaparib-Ga treatment (Fig. S3).
To evaluate the side effects of olaparib-Ga, blood routine and biochemistry analyses were performed (Fig. S4A). The hematological parameters were all within the normal range on day 22 after the first administration of olaparib-Ga. No obvious histological toxicity was observed in the main organs (Fig. S4B). In addition, the noncancerous ovarian cell line IOSE-80 was used to confirm the side effects of olaparib-Ga. The cell viability curves showed that the IC50 of olaparib-Ga was not significantly decreased compared with that of olaparib in this cell line, indicating that olaparib-Ga did not increase the effect of olaparib on normal ovarian cell viability (Fig. S5). These data indicated effective antitumor performance and good biocompatibility of olaparib-Ga in the treatment of resistant OC tumors.
Olaparib-Ga increases the sensitivity of platinum-resistant OC cells to cisplatin and carboplatin
Considering the cytotoxicity of olaparib-Ga in platinum-resistant OC cells, the current study examined whether combining olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin would exacerbate the cytotoxicity more than that of olaparib-Ga alone. The IC50 values of cisplatin and carboplatin in SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis cells were as follows: SKOV3-cis: 71.6 μM cisplatin and 235.5 μM carboplatin; and A2780-cis: 13.8 μM cisplatin and 118.8 μM carboplatin (Fig. 4A). These cells were treated with 4 different doses of olaparib-Ga, cisplatin, or carboplatin at 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of IC50 or with a combination of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin. The co-treatment of SKOV3-cis cells with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin at 75% and 100% IC50 significantly suppressed cell viability compared with the effects of each individual treatment (Fig. 4B). Similar results were found in A2780-cis cells (Fig. 4B). To minimize drug toxicity, ~75% of the IC50 value of each drug (namely, SKOV3-cis: 85 μM olaparib-Ga, 55 μM cisplatin, and 175 μM carboplatin; and A2780-cis: 90 μM olaparib-Ga, 10 μM cisplatin, and 90 μM carboplatin) was next selected for combination study. It was determined that both SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis cells showed increased sensitivities to the combination of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin compared with that of each treatment alone, as shown by the suppressed cell viability (Fig. 4C) and colony formation ability (Fig. 4D).
Combination of olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin induces DNA damage and activates the ATM/ATR–Chk1/Chk2 signaling pathway
Because DNA damage is involved in the mechanism of action of chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin and carboplatin [47,48], the present study next evaluated whether olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin could increase the effects of DNA damage. As expected, it was found that γH2AX expression levels were slightly upregulated in single drug-treated SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis cells and further significantly increased in the co-treated cells, according to the results of immunofluorescence and Western blotting (Fig. 5A and B and Fig. S6). Moreover, following the co-treatment of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin, comet assay showed elevated DNA damage (Fig. 5C and D).
ATM and ATR are the first steps in the response to DNA damage [49]. ATM and ATR activate the phosphorylation of the cell cycle checkpoint genes Chk1 and Chk2 to block cell cycle progression [50]. The present study evaluated whether the combination of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin could activate the ATM/ATR–Chk1/Chk2 signaling pathways more than the drug(s) alone could do. Olaparib-Ga, cisplatin, or carboplatin alone did not significantly increase the expression levels of ATM, ATR, Chk1, Chk2, phosphorylated (p)-ATM, p-ATR, p-Chk1, or p-Chk2 in SKOV3-cis or A2780-cis cells (Fig. 5E and Fig. S7). Although the total protein expression were not significantly changed, co-treatment with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin significantly increased the phosphorylated levels of ATM, ATR, Chk1, and Chk2 expression in both resistant cell lines (Fig. 5E and Fig. S8). These results suggested that co-treatment with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin could cause DNA damage response through activation of the ATM/ATR–Chk1/Chk2 signaling pathways.
Olaparib-Ga in combination with cisplatin or carboplatin arrests cell cycle at S and G2/M phases and increases apoptosis
The activation of the cell cycle checkpoint transducer kinases Chk1 and Chk2 can block cell cycle progression at the S or G2/M phases through inducing the proteosomal degradation of the CDC25 family and subsequently inhibiting the activity of CDKs/cyclins [49,50]. The current study next examined cell cycle progression in response to co-treatment with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin. Of note, drug co-treatment could significantly arrest the cell cycle at the S and G2/M phases compared with the effect of olaparib-Ga, cisplatin, or carboplatin alone or control in both SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis cells (Fig. 6A). The critical target of the S checkpoint is cyclin A/CDK kinase, whose activation is inhibited by CDC25A [51]. The G2/M checkpoint suppresses the activity of CDC25C/cyclin B/CDK1 [50]. The present study verified the expression levels of CDC25A, cyclin A, CDK2, CDC25C, cyclin B, and CDK1 to further understand the mechanism of cell cycle arrest for co-treatments. As expected, we confirmed that the protein expression levels of CDC25A, cyclin A, CDK2, CDC25C, cyclin B, and CDK1 were all significantly inhibited in response to combination of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin in both cell lines (Fig. 6B and Fig. S9). Next, the current study examined whether the accumulation of DNA damage and arrested cell cycle progression observed with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin co-treatment would precede increased levels of apoptosis. Single-drug treatment caused a slight increase in apoptosis compared with that of the control group. Co-treatment with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin caused a significantly higher increase in apoptosis (Fig. 6C). Altogether, these results indicated that co-treatments could cause severe DNA damage, arrest cell cycle, and ultimately lead to apoptosis, thus inducing cell death.
Olaparib-Ga recovers chemosensitivity of platinum-resistant OC tumors to cisplatin and carboplatin in mice xenograft models
Finally, the present study investigated whether the olaparib-Ga nanodrug could recover the chemosensitivity of SKOV3-cis tumors in a mouse xenograft model. Six different treatments, including PBS (control), olaparib-Ga, cisplatin, co-treatment of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin, carboplatin, and co-treatment of olaparib-Ga and carboplatin, were administered by intravenous injection to SKOV3-cis-bearing mice (n = 6 in each group). Olaparib-Ga was first administered once every day at a dose of 200 μl per mouse for 3 d. Cisplatin and carboplatin were administered once to each mouse at a dose of 4 and 30 mg/kg, respectively. Four weeks after the treatment, the groups with single olaparib-Ga, cisplatin, or carboplatin treatment showed limited efficacy in inhibiting tumor growth (Fig. 7A). Notably, tumor growth in both co-treatment groups was significantly suppressed compared with that of the mice treated with control, olaparib-Ga, cisplatin, or carboplatin alone (Fig. 7A). The tumor size and weight were much smaller in the 2 co-treatment groups than in the control group (Fig. 7B and C). The results of IHC staining further confirmed that co-treatments with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin were the most effective in suppressing tumor growth, as determined by Ki-67 staining (Fig. 7D).
The current study further examined whether co-treatments of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin caused severe systematic side effects. In the SKOV3-cis-bearing mice, the 2 co-treatment groups showed no obvious mouse body weight loss on day 28 after the first injection (Fig. 8A). Multiple hematological parameters were determined (Fig. 8B and C), and no significant difference was observed in the co-treatment groups. Moreover, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of main organ tissues, including heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, showed no noticeable histological toxicity (Fig. 8D and E). In addition, healthy mice also received co-treatment with olaparib-Ga and cisplatin and co-treatment with olaparib-Ga and carboplatin (n = 3 in each group) (Fig. S10A). Upon treatment, mouse weight, hematological parameters, and major organs were evaluated (Fig. S10B to E). No obvious drug toxicity was observed. These results suggested the biocompatibility of the co-treatments of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin. Altogether, the present findings indicate that applying olaparib-Ga is a promising strategy to reverse the chemoresistance of OC.
Discussion
Less
Platinum, particularly cisplatin and carboplatin, represents a prominent therapeutic option in the treatment of OC. However, cancer cells develop resistance to platinum, resulting in therapeutic failure. Furthermore, platinum-resistant tumors also fail to respond to target therapy PARPi [11]. Considerable studies have been performed to restore platinum sensitivity. However, platinum resistance remains a critical goal for anticancer therapy in the clinical setting. The present study developed olaparib-Ga nanoparticles to confer PARPi resistance in platinum-resistant OC cells. Co-treatment of olaparib-Ga nanodrug and cisplatin or carboplatin could induce DNA damage, followed by the activation of the ATM/ATR–Chk1/Chk2 signaling pathway. Response to DNA damage caused cell cycle progression blockage at S and G2/M phases. Nonrepairable DNA damage finally elicited proapoptotic outcomes.
Our group previously developed a self-assembly olaparib-Ga nanodrug to sensitize HR-proficient OC cells to PARPi [40]. Olaparib-Ga could inhibit the proliferation of HR-proficient OC cells in an apoptosis-dependent manner via activation of the Fe2+/ROS/MAPK/HMOX1 and inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. The present study investigated whether this olaparib-Ga nanodrug could also exert antitumor effects in platinum-resistant OC cells. As expected, olaparib-Ga treatment resensitized platinum-resistant SKOV3-cis and A2780-cis OC cells to olaparib. Olaparib showed limited efficiency in the treatment of platinum-resistant OC cells, while the cytotoxicity of olaparib-Ga was much higher than that olaparib alone. The olaparib-Ga nanodrug could effectively increase DNA DSBs, promote apoptosis and inhibit cell viability in platinum-resistant OC cells. Moreover, olaparib-Ga exerted efficient suppression of tumor growth in platinum-resistant OC cell-bearing mice without increased drug toxicity. These results suggested that Ga added to olaparib could restore the sensitivity to PARPi of platinum-resistant OC cells.
Platinum is mainly involved in DNA damage response and apoptosis [52,53]. The signaling transduction pathways that link platinum-induced DNA damage with apoptosis are characterized by the activation of the AMT and ATR kinases. ATM and ATR are coordinated in numerous cellular stress responses and permit a rapid and sensitive activation of cell cycle checkpoints [49]. ATM and ATR preferentially mediate the phosphorylation of Chk2 and Chk1, respectively [54]. Activated cell cycle checkpoints stop cell cycle progression and lead to apoptosis followed by cell death [55,56]. Alterations in any of these signaling pathways are often responsible for the platinum-resistant phenotype of OC cells [5]. The present findings revealed that the major signaling pathways were reactivated, and cisplatin and carboplatin sensitivity were restored in platinum-resistant OC cell lines. It was showed that combined olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin treatment caused accumulation of DNA damage, which was accompanied by increased DNA damage response and activation of the ATM/ATR–Chk1/Chk2 signaling pathways, leading to blockage of the S and G2/M phases, as determined by reduced CDC25A/cyclin A/CDK2 and CDC25C/cyclin B/CDK1 expression. In contrast to maintaining cell survival and resistant genotype, the DNA damage induced by the combination of olaparib-Ga and cisplatin or carboplatin in the present study was beyond repair, and cells underwent apoptotic cell death.
The present animal experiments demonstrated that combination of olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin was well tolerated for the durations of the co-treatment. The results showed that the above co-treatment led to a significant tumor growth suppression compared with that caused by single-drug or control treatment in platinum-resistant OC mouse models. Taken together, these results suggested a development of a chemosensitization strategy with important clinical implications.
In summary, the present study demonstrated that olaparib-Ga induced DNA damage and suppressed tumor growth in PARPi- and platinum-resistant OC cells. Combined treatment of olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin led to increased DNA damage-induced apoptosis and cell death. Applying olaparib-Ga may provide a promising strategy to resensitize OC to platinum-based chemotherapies, which may be of significant benefit to the survival of patients with resistant OC.

Treated cells treated as indicated were fixed with 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100, blocked with 10% fetal bovine serum, and incubated with a primary anti-γH2AX antibody (Abcam) overnight at 4 °C. Cells were washed in PBS 3 times, incubated with Alexa Fluor Plus 488-labeled secondary antibody (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), stained with DAPI (Abcam), and examined with a confocal laser scanning microscope (FLUOVIEW FV1200; Olympus Corporation).
Flow cytometry
Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. For apoptosis, cells treated as indicated were obtained and incubated with annexin IV and propidium iodide staining solution (Multi Sciences) for 30 min and analyzed using a flow cytometer (FACSVerse; BD Biosciences). For cell cycle analysis, cells were collected, washed twice with PBS, stained with propidium iodide (Multi Sciences) for 1 h, and analyzed using the aforementioned flow cytometer. Data were processed with FlowJo v10 (FlowJo LLC).
Immunoblotting
Protein lysates were resolved by 4 to 20% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (GenScript) and then electroblotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc.). After blocking, membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against γH2AX (Abcam, 1:5,000), ATM (Huabio, 1:1,000), p-ATM (Huabio, 1:1,000), ATR (Huabio, 1:1,000), p-ATR (Proteintech, 1:1,000), Chk1 (Proteintech, 1:1,000), p-Chk1 (Proteintech, 1:1,000), p-Chk2 (Proteintech, 1:1,000), CDC25A (Huabio, 1:1,000), cyclin A (Huabio, 1:1,000), CDK2 (Huabio, 1:1,000), CDC25C (Proteintech, 1:1,000), cyclin B1 (Proteintech, 1:1,000), CDK1 (Proteintech, 1:1,000), and β-actin (Proteintech, 1:3,000). Immunoblotting was determined following standard procedures. The data were representative 3 independent experiments.
Comet assay
Comet assay was conducted using a Comet Assay Kit (Abcam, catalog no. ab238544). Briefly, cells treated as indicated were harvested and resuspended at a density of 1 × 105 cells/ml in PBS. Under low lighting, samples were combined with comet agarose and spread onto a precoated base layer. Slides were immersed into lysis buffer in the dark at 4 °C for 1 h and transferred to an electrophoresis chamber for 30 min. The slides were then immersed in distilled H2O, followed by 70% ethanol. Upon air drying, Vista Green DNA Dye was added for 15 min. Images were acquired by epifluorescence microscopy (CTR6500; Leica Microsystems Inc.), and DNA damage was analyzed by CometScore 2.1 (TriTek Corp).
Animal experiments
Female BALB/c nude mice (5 to 6 weeks old) were purchased from Shanghai LAC Laboratory Animal Co. Ltd. The animal study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (approval no. IACUC-20210913-04). Mice were bred in specific pathogen-free facility with suitable temperature and humidity. Each mouse was administered an intraperitoneal injection of 5 × 106 SKOV3-cis-luc cells. At 1 week postinjection, SKOV3-cis-luc tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 2 groups. In the first group, mice were intravenously injected with (a) 200 μl of PBS, (b) 200 μl of olaparib (0.5 mM), or (c) 200 μl of olaparib-Ga (0.5 mM with respect to olaparib) daily for 5 d. In the second group, mice were intravenously injected with (a) PBS (200 μl/d for 3 d), (b) 0.5 mM olaparib-Ga (200 μl/d for 3 d), (c) 4 mg/kg of cisplatin (once), (d) co-treatment of 0.5 mM olaparib-Ga (200 μl/d for 3 d) and 4 mg/kg of cisplatin (once), (e) 30 mg/kg of carboplatin (once), or (f) co-treatment of 0.5 mM olaparib-Ga (200 μl/d for 3 d) and 30 mg/kg of carboplatin (once). The animals were euthanized after 4 weeks of their first drug injection. Hematology tests were conducted. The tumors and main organs were harvested and subjected to H&E and IHC staining.
Healthy female BALB/c mice of 5 to 6 weeks of age were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 3) and administered intravenous injections of either PBS, olaparib-Ga (daily for 3 d) and cisplatin (once), or olaparib-Ga (daily for 3 d) and carboplatin (once) at the indicated dose. Mouse weight was determined postinjections, and blood samples were collected for hematological examination. Organs were obtained 24 h after the final injection and subjected to H&E staining.
Statistical analysis
Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism 9.2 software (GraphPad Software; Dotmatics). Student’s t test and one-way analysis of variance were used to test the differences between treatments. The data are shown as the mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments. P < 0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
