Abstract

Ovarian Cancer is among the most prevalent gynecological malignancies around the globe. Nonetheless, chemoresistance continues to be one of the greatest obstacles in the treatment of ovarian Cancer. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of chemoresistance and identifying new treatment options for ovarian Cancer patients is urgently required. In this study, we found that the mRNA and protein expression levels of PRDX1 were significantly increased in cisplatin resistant A2780/CDDP cells. Cell survival assays revealed that PRDX1 depletion substantially increased ovarian Cancer cell sensitivity to cisplatin, docetaxel, and doxorubicin. Additionally, PRDX1 significantly increased GSTP1 activity, resulting in multidrug resistance. Biochemical experiments showed that PRDX1 interacted with GSTP1 through Cysteine 83, which regulated GSTP1 activity as well as chemotherapy resistance in ovarian Cancer cells. Our findings indicate that the molecular chaperone activity of PRDX1 is a promising new therapeutic target for ovarian Cancer.
