摘要

Ovarian cancer remains a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, largely due to high recurrence and frequent cisplatin resistance. This study investigates the role of ADAR1 lactylation-mediated RNA editing in ovarian cancer chemoresistance. Cisplatin-resistant cells exhibit significantly elevated global adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing and ADAR1 expression. Genetic knockdown of ADAR1 enhances cisplatin sensitivity in vitro and in vivo, activates innate immune MAVS/PKR pathways, and promotes CD4⁺/CD8⁺ T cell infiltration. Mechanistically, Tip60 mediates ADAR1 lactylation, facilitating its interaction with deubiquitinase USP48 to stabilize ADAR1. Lactylation-dependent ADAR1 upregulation suppresses innate immunity and enhances protein translation, driving chemoresistance. Notably, inhibitor ZYS-1 targets ADAR1 lactylation, reducing ADAR1 expression, activating antitumor immunity, and synergizing with cisplatin to delay tumor growth in mice. These findings establish ADAR1 lactylation as a critical regulatory mechanism, supporting ZYS-1 plus cisplatin as a promising strategy for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
