Currently, the mechanism of chronic pain has not been fully studied, and the treatments are often ineffective. Abnormal glucose metabolism plays an important role in the occurrence and development of chronic pain. It has been found that the abnormal glucose metabolism in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), visual cortex, occipital cortex, brain stem, hippocampus, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), thalamus and insula is involved in the primary headache (migraine); In addition, the abnormal glucose metabolism in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), ACC, hippocampus, thalamus, primary somatosensory cortices (SI), OFC and cerebellum is involved in the neuropathic pain (NP); the abnormal glucose metabolism in the thalamus and brain stem is also involved in other types of chronic pain. Pain relieving therapies, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), electroacupuncture (EA) and acupuncture treatment can alleviate chronic pain by reversing abnormal glucose metabolism in some of the above brain regions.

However, the development of chemoresistance has emerged as a significant challenge, compromising the effectiveness of treatment strategies. Therefore, there is a critical need to unravel the mechanisms underpinning drug resistance and to identify potential therapeutic targets. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in understanding the role of drug efflux in cancer chemoresistance mechanisms. Despite this, the contribution of ABCG2, a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, to oxaliplatin resistance in OSCC remains unclear. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the involvement of ABCG2 in oxaliplatin resistance in OSCC and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms through which the Wingless and Int-1 (WNT) canonical signaling pathway upregulates ABCG2 to promote chemoresistance. To achieve this, we established oxaliplatin-resistant (OXA-R) OSCC cells as a model system. Our investigations revealed that the efflux ability of resistant cells was enhanced and the ABCG2 expression was up-regulated. Genetic silencing of ABCG2 significantly attenuated both efflux activity and chemoresistance in these resistant cells. Notably, we observed aberrant activation of the WNT canonical signaling pathway in resistant cells, accompanied by heightened expression of the WNT3 ligand. Additionally, overexpression of WNT3 in parental cells recapitulated the activation of the WNT canonical signaling cascade, resulting in increased chemoresistance, enhanced efflux function, and elevated ABCG2 expression levels. Conversely, inhibition of WNT3 in resistant cells resulted in reduced chemoresistance, suppression of efflux activity, and decreased ABCG2 expression. Finally, treatment with the WNT/β-catenin pathway inhibitor methyl 3-benzoate (MSAB) effectively reversed chemoresistance in resistant cells. Mechanistically, our studies revealed that the abnormal activation of the WNT canonical pathway promotes the recruitment of the transcription factor lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) to the ABCG2 promoter, thereby enhancing its transcriptional activity. In summary, our findings underscore the critical role of WNT3-mediated activation of the WNT canonical signaling pathway in upregulating ABCG2 expression, which enhances oxaliplatin efflux and contributes to the development of oxaliplatin resistance in OSCC.</p>","PeriodicalId":49095,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Bioscience","volume":"15 1","pages":"77"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12139312/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144227314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TFIIS middle region is paired with a SPOC domain in BYE1, the founder protein of the subfamily, and in its homologs; this combination of domains accommodates additional features such as a small zinc finger resembling the TFIIS carboxyterminal region. In metazoans, the architecture has evolved additional extensions to act on downstream RNA processing. Here, we argue in favor of a single protein superfamily encompassing TFIIS, BYE1, and their metazoan homologs. We conclude that the TFIIS middle domain comprises a common Pol2-interacting domain, shared by various generic protein functions. Domain composition of the vertebrate BYE1 homologs indicates a role in transcription elongation.
