Cisplatin-based chemotherapies have long been considered as a standard chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. However, cisplatin resistance restricts beneficial therapy for patients with ovarian cancer. The ubiquitin-like protein interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) encodes a 15-kDa protein, that is implicated in the post-translational modification of diverse proteins. In this work, we found that ISG15 was downregulated in cisplatin resistant tissues and cell lines of ovarian cancer. Functional studies demonstrated that overexpression of wild type (WT) ISG15, but not nonISGylatable (Mut) ISG15 increased cell responses to cisplatin in resistant ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, we found that WT ISG15 decreased ABCC2 expression at the protein level. Importantly, overexpression of ABCC2 blocked sensitizing effect of ISG15 on cisplatin. In addition, we identified that hnRNPA2B1 was recruited to 5'UTR of ABCC2 mRNA and promoted its translation, which was blocked by ISG15. We further demonstrated that hnRNPA2B1 could be ISGylated, and ISGylation blocked its recruitment to ABCC2 mRNA, thereby suppressed translation of ABCC2. Altogether, our data support targeting ISG15 might be a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer.
