Tumor relapse and acquired chemotherapy resistance are two major factors leading to the high mortality of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. It has become increasingly evident that ovarian cancers contain subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs) with enhanced tumorigenicity and chemoresistance. These CSCs are believed to be responsible for treatment failure and tumor relapse. However, it is still unclear how CSCs survive DNA-damaging agent treatment, and how the tumor regenerated by the surviving CSCs develops chemoresistance. Error-prone translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), a DNA damage tolerance mechanism that bypasses DNA damage during replication, has been suggested to mediate acquired chemoresistance. Our recent studies have revealed that ovarian CSCs show elevated expression of TLS polymerase η (Polη); we also demonstrated that Polη is critical to the survival of ovarian CSCs following cisplatin treatment. Based on this scientific premise, we generate a hypothesis that enhanced Polη-mediated TLS in CSCs contributes to tumor relapse and the development of acquired cisplatin-resistance after initial cisplatin treatment, by facilitating CSC survival and increasing CSC mutagenesis. The main objective of this proposal is to determine a novel mechanism that contributes to EOC relapse and chemotherapeutic resistance following initial cisplatin treatment. Two specific aims are proposed to test this hypothesis and achieve our goal. In specific aim 1, we will determine the contribution of Polη-mediated TLS to EOC relapse after cisplatin treatment. In specific aim 2, we will delineate the contribution of Polη-mediated TLS to the development of acquired cisplatin resistance in the EOC and cisplatin-induced mutations in ovarian CSCs. The rationale under this proposal is that understanding the mechanism underlying tumor relapse and chemotherapy resistance would facilitate the development of new therapy strategies to improve the outcome of patients with EOC. It is our expectation that at the conclusion of this project, we will have provided solid evidence showing that enhanced expression of Polη in ovarian CSCs contributes to the tumor regrowth, mutagenesis in CSCs, and the development of cisplatin resistance after initial cisplatin treatment. Downregulation of Polη would significantly inhibit tumor relapse and prevent the development of cisplatin resistance, and thus, can be exploited for a new therapy strategy for EOCs.
