Drug ID: DB00515 (APRD00359)
Drug Name: Cisplatin
Drug Method: In the study, we investigated CHOP expression in tumor tissues form 69 lung cancer patients, finding that deficient CHOP expression is associated with poor prognosis. Cisplatin-resistant lung cancer cells exhibited lower expression of CHOP compared to that in sensitive lung cancer cells, and silencing or augmenting CHOP expression enhanced or impaired cisplatin resistance, respectively. Mechanistic investigations revealed that CHOP is directly associated with the regulation of autophagy or apoptosis-regulatory genes including LC3-II, death receptor 5 (DR5), and telomere repeat-binding factor 3. Notably, CHOP was identified as a target of miR-146a, and increased miR-146a expression in lung cancer cells was suggested to be responsible for CHOP mRNA down-regulation. Further, animal models confirmed that abnormally expressed miR-146a in lung cancer cells does not affect growth, but rather alters chemotherapy sensitivity.
