The mechanism of cisplatin resistance in cancer cells is not fully understood. Here, we show that the Akt/mTOR survival pathway plays an important role in cisplatin resistance in human ovarian cancer cells. Specifically, we found that cisplatin treatment activates the Akt/mTOR survival pathway and that inhibition of this pathway by the PI3 K inhibitor LY294002 or knockdown of Akt sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin. Furthermore, we generated cisplatin-resistant cells and found that resistant cells express a higher level of activated Akt as compared to their cisplatin sensitive counterparts. Importantly, inhibition of Akt or mTOR sensitized resistant cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Taken together, our data indicate that activation of the Akt/mTOR pathway prevents cisplatin-induced apoptosis, leading to cisplatin resistance. Therefore, our study suggests that cisplatin resistance can be overcome by targeting the Akt/mTOR survival pathway in human ovarian cancer cells.
