Objective. Approximately 15-25% of high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOC) harbor BRCA1/2 mutations. Inhibition of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is synthetically lethal to cells and tumors with BRCA1/2 mutation. Our goal was to investigate the radiosensitizing effects of PARP inhibitor olaparib in HGSOC with different BRCA1 status.Methods. The radiosensitizing effects of olaparib were tested on BRCA1-proficient and deficient HGSOC by clonogenic survival and tumor growth assays. The effects of olaparib and radiation on DNA damage, PARP activity, and apoptosis were determined.Results. BRCA1-deficient HGSOC cells were more sensitive to RT alone and exhibited significantly higher levels of olaparib-mediated radiosensitization compared to BRCA1-proficient cells. Furthermore, when combined with RT, olaparib inhibited DNA damage repair and PARP1 activity, increased apoptosis, decreased growth of HGSOC xeno-grafts and increased overall host survival. The growth-inhibitory effects of the combined olaparib and RT treatment were more pronounced in mice bearing BRCAl-deficient tumors compared to BRCA1-proficient tumors.Conclusions. These results provide a preclinical rationale for improved treatment modalities using olaparib as an effective radiosensitizer in HGSOC, particularly in tumors with BRCAl-deficiencies.
