Attenuation of deregulated miR-369-3p expression sensitizes non-small cell lung cancer cells to cisplatin via modulation of the nucleotide sugar transporter SLC35F5.

Deregulation of the microRNAs (miRNAs), a cluster of important posttranscriptional regulators, has been frequently associated with lung cancer (LCa). However, the emerging mechanism for how miRNAs is linked causally in the development of LCa chemoresistance is poorly understood. Herein, we established for the time the up-regulation of miR-369-3p in cisplatin (DDP)-resistant nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and cells.
