    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitor PJ34 on the proliferation and invasiveness of ovarian cancer C13* cells and the role of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). METHODS: Proliferation of C13* cells was measured using a 3 -(4,5-dimethylthazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay after incubation with PJ34 at different concentrations and for different treatment durations. In addition, expression of PARP-1 and the NF-κB p65 subunit after treatment with PJ34 was measured using Western blot and immunocytochemistry. The effect of PJ34 on cell invasiveness was examined using a transwell invasion assay. RESULTS: PJ34 inhibited proliferation of C13* cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. PJ34 treatment was also associated with a dose-dependent decrease in PARP-1 and NF-κB p65 expression and attenuated invasiveness of C13* cells. PARP-1 expression was positively correlated with NF-κB p65 expression. CONCLUSION: The PARP-1 inhibitor PJ34 can markedly inhibit the proliferation and invasiveness of C13* cells, possibly due to PARP-1-mediated attenuation of NF-κB activity.
