Abstract Background: Ovarian cancer is the most important cause of gynaecological cancer-related mortality globally. Approximately 80% of patients are diagnosed with advanced stage (FIGO stage III-IV) of ovarian cancer. The standard treatment approach for advanced EOC is primary debulking surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy using taxanes plus platinum. Resistance to platinum based chemo remains a key reason for treatment failure in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Therapeutic efficacy of Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) and Gamma-glutamyl cysteine Synthetase (γ-GCS)inhibitors in ovarian cancer remains undefined, either as a single agent or in combination with cisplatin. Material and Methods: We determined the combined effect of PJ34 (PARP1 inhibitor) and BSO (Buthionine-sulfoximine- (γ-GCS inhibitor) with cisplatin in ovarian cancer cell lines (OVSAHO, KURAMOCHI, and IGROV1) by MTT assay. PARP1 and GCS levels were analyzed by western blotting. We employed flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis as well as for apoptosis studies. Analysis was done using Graph Pad Prism-6. Results were considered to be statistically significant when p value was < 0.05. Results and Conclusion: Combination of cisplatin with PJ34 and BSO augmented cisplatin toxicity in vitro by decreasing cell proliferation and enhancing cell cycle block and cell death when compared with either single agent. A significant cell death (p= <0.05) was observed with the combination of cisplatin, BSO and PJ34. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study provide experimental evidence on the combined effect of PARP-1 and GCS inhibition on CDDP-induced cytotoxicity in epithelial ovarian cancer cells. We propose that PARP-1and BSO inhibitors can be combined with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents such as CDDP to enhance the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents and inhibit key signalling pathways involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Future comprehensive studies are needed to demonstrate further validation of above combination. Keywords: Ovarian Cancer, cisplatin, PARP-1, PJ34, γ -GCS, β-actin, Glutathione.
