Effect of olaparib on cisplatin mediated PARP1 hyperactivation. (A) SiHa and ME180 cells were treated with cisplatin and/or olaparib for 48 hrs and expression of PARP1 and PAR was determined by western blot. Olaparib exerts strong anti-PARP activity in cisplatin treated CC cells.The full size blots corresponding to the cropped blot images are given in Supplementary Figure S12. (B) Bar graph displaying relative PARylation normalized to GAPDH in both cell lines. Error bars display the S.D. from the mean of 3 independent experiments. **p = 0.0095. (C) Representative immunofluorescence image showing nuclear co-localization of PAR polymers with γH2A.X foci. 24 hr cisplatin treated cells show higher PAR polymers signals compare to untreated and signal was completely suppressed after olaparib treatment or PARP1 siRNA transfection. (D) Bar graph displaying quantification of γH2A.X+ PAR or γH2A.X+ PAR+ cell distribution in cisplatin and/or olaparib treated along with PARP1 silenced cells treated with cisplatin.
