HSPA8-mediated stability of the CLPP protein regulates mitochondrial autophagy in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Currently, platinum agents remain the mainstay of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer (OC). However, cisplatin (DDP) resistance is a major reason for chemotherapy failure. Thus, it is extremely important to elucidate the mechanism of resistance to DDP. Here, we establish two DDP-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines and find that caseinolytic protease P (CLPP) level is significantly downregulated in DDP-resistant cell lines compared to wild-type ovarian cancer cell lines (SK-OV-3 and OVcar3). Next, we investigate the functions of CLPP in DDP-resistant and wild-type ovarian cancer cells using various assays, including cell counting kit-8 assay, western blot analysis, immunofluorescence staining, and detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis. Our results show that CLPP knockd
