Abstract
Cisplatin resistance significantly impedes effective treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study investigates the role of the M6A-related circFUT8/miR-185-5p/HNRNPC competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) axis in NSCLC cisplatin resistance. Bioinformatics analysis identified HNRNPC, a critical M6A modification-related gene, as a promoter of NSCLC proliferation and metastasis. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments reveal that circFUT8 upregulates HNRNPC by sponging miR-185-5p, thus enhancing NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while reducing apoptosis and sensitivity to cisplatin. These findings highlight the circFUT8/miR-185-5p/HNRNPC axis as a potential target to overcome chemoresistance in NSCLC.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology is dedicated to innovative approaches to the study of cell and molecular physiology. Contributions that use cellular and molecular approaches to shed light on mechanisms of physiological control at higher levels of organization also appear regularly. Manuscripts dealing with the structure and function of cell membranes, contractile systems, cellular organelles, and membrane channels, transporters, and pumps are encouraged. Studies dealing with integrated regulation of cellular function, including mechanisms of signal transduction, development, gene expression, cell-to-cell interactions, and the cell physiology of pathophysiological states, are also eagerly sought. Interdisciplinary studies that apply the approaches of biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, morphology, and immunology to the determination of new principles in cell physiology are especially welcome.
