Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 inhibitors (PARPi) enhance the cytotoxic effects of radiation. In this study, we evaluated the effect of PARPi on survival andDNAdamage of irradiated STS cells. For clonogenic assays, STS cell lines were irradiated with or without olaparib, iniparib or veliparib pretreatment. The effect of PARP inhibition on c-H2AX and Rad51 foci formation, on PARP-1, phospho-ERK and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression and on cell cycle progression was evaluated on irradiated rhabdomyosarcoma cells pretreatedwith olaparib. The results fromthis work showed that PARPi induced significant radiosensitization in STS cells. Rhabdomyosarcoma cells showed the highest increase in radiosensitivity, with a radiosensitization enhancement ratio at 50%survival (ER50) of 3.41 with veliparib. All PARPi exerted a synergistic effect when combined with radiation. Fibrosarcoma cells showed an ER50 of 2.29 with olaparib. Leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma cells showed their highest ER50 with veliparib (1.71 and 1.84, respectively). In rhabdomyosarcoma, olaparib enhanced the formation of radiation-induced c-H2AX/Rad51 foci and PARP-1 cleavage, induced slightly increased expression of cleaved caspase-3 and reduced phospho-ERK expression. Moreover, the combination of olaparib and radiation resulted in a significantly enhanced cell cycle arrest in theG2/Mphase compared to the two treatments alone. In conclusion, we have shown that PARPi are potent radiosensitizers of human STS cells. These results support the pursuit of further investigations into the effects of PARPi combined with radiation on STS.
