Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal of gynecologic malignancies. The standard-of-care treatment for EOC is platinum-based chemotherapy such as cisplatin (CDDP). Notably, platinum-based chemotherapy induces resistance of EOC to PARP inhibition. However, therapeutic approaches targeting PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance remain to be explored. In this study, we show that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) reduces PARPi resistance-associated EOC cells induced by CDDP treatment. Clinically applicable ATRA suppressed the outgrowth of CDDP-treated EOC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, a CDDP treatment followed by niraparib maintenance therapy in combination with ATRA improved the survival of EOC-bearing mice. These phenotypes correlated with the PARPi-resistant EOC signature, which consists of elevated expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, PARP1, and checkpoint kinase 1, as well as elevated NAD+ level-mediated high activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 and PARP1. Mechanistically, ATRA downregulates the expression of these genes and level of intracellular NAD+. Our results suggest that ATRA in conjunction with PARPi represents a promising maintenance therapeutic strategy for EOC.
