Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 3 (PARP3), a critical player in cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), plays an essential role in the maintenance of genome integrity. However, the role of PARP3 in tumorigenesis especially in glioblastoma remains largely unknown. In the present study, we found that the mRNA and protein levels of PARP3 were upregulated in primary glioblastoma tissues. Knockdown of PARP3 expression by lentivirus-based shRNA decreased cell glioblastoma proliferation and inhibited tumor growth in vivo by using a xenograft mouse model. Furthermore, we found that silencing the expression of PARP3 resulted in a synergistic radiosensitizing effect when combined with radiotherapy in glioblastoma cell lines. At the molecular level, we found that PARP3 interacted with FoxM1 to enhance its transcriptional activity and conferred glioblastoma cell radioresistance. Thus, our data suggest that PARP3 could be a therapeutic target to overcome radioresistance in glioblastoma.
