Olaparib Induces RPL5/RPL11-Dependent p53 Activation via Nucleolar Stress.

ABSTRACT: The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (PARPi) Olaparib is a widely used targeted therapy for a variety of solid tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) caused by mutation of BRCA1/2 or other DNA repair genes. The anti-tumor activity of Olaparib has been largely attributed to its ability to inhibit PARP enzymes and block DNA single-strand break (SSB) repair, which eventually leads to the most detrimental DNA damage, double-strand breaks (DSB), in HRD cells. Although PARPi was found to induce p53-dependent cell death, the underlying molecular mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that Olaparib treatment leads to p53 stabilization and activation of its downstream target genes in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mechanistically, Olaparib
