Rosiglitazone ameliorates senescence and promotes apoptosis in ovarian cancer induced by olaparib

Objective Senescence mechanisms are vital to resistance to long-term olaparib maintenance treatment. Recently, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonists (e.g., rosiglitazone) have been reported to ameliorate the senescence-like phenotype by modulating inflammatory mediator production. This study examined synergistic effects on the anti-tumor activity of rosiglitazone combined with olaparib in ovarian cancer treatment.
