Objective: To explore the effect of peimine on excision repair cross-complementation 1 (ERCC1) mRNA and lung resistant protein (LRP) expressions in A549/cisplatin (DDP) multidrug resistance (MDR) cell line.

Methods: Lung cancer A549/DDP cells were cultured in vitro.Cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into 4 groups, i.e., the blank control group, the DDP group, the ligustrazine group (DDP+ligustrazine), the peimine group (DDP + peimine). After 48-h drug action, ERCC1 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR and LRP expression detected by cell immunofluorescence.

Results: There was no statistical difference in expression levels of ERCC1 mRNA and LRP between the DDP group and the blank control group (P > 0.05). Compared with the DDP group, expression levels of ERCC1 mRNA and LRP obviously decreased in the ligustrazine group and the peimine group (P < 0.05). They were obviously lower in the peimine group than in the ligustrazine group (P < 0.05).

Conclusions: Peimine could reverse MDR of A549/DDP cell line. Its mechanism might be associated with down-regulating ERCC1 mRNA and LRP expression levels.

Background: Platinum chemotherapy (CT) remains the backbone of systemic therapy for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway plays a central role in the repair of the DNA damage exerted by platinum agents. Alteration in this repair mechanism may affect patients' survival.

We studied the associations between 3'UTR genetic variants in ADME genes, clinical factors, and the risk of breast cancer chemotherapy toxicity. Those variants and factors were tested in relation to seven symptoms belonging to myelotoxicity (anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia), gastrointestinal side effects (vomiting, nausea), nephrotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity, occurring in overall, early, or recurrent settings. The cumulative risk of overall symptoms of anemia was connected with rs3209896 AG, rs3212986 GT, and >6 cycles of chemotherapy; leukopenia was determined by rs129081 allele G and rs291593 allele T; neutropenia risk was correlated with accumulation of genetic variants of rs291583 allele G, rs17064 AT, and positive HER2 status.

Alternative splicing (AS) generates protein diversity and is exploited by cancer cells to drive tumor progression and resistance to many cancer therapies, including chemotherapy. SNRPA is first identified as a spliceosome-related gene that potentially modulates resistance to platinum chemotherapy. Both the knockout or the knockdown of SNRPA via CRISPR/Cas9 and shRNA techniques can reverse the resistance of cisplatin-resistant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells to cisplatin.

Background: To define the optimal chemotherapy regimen for each patient we therefore used tissue from patients to identify molecular prognostic or predictive biomarkers.

Methods: Endoscopic biopsy specimens from primary lesions and surgical specimens on a phase III trial in patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer treated with docetaxel with cisplatin plus S-1 (DCS) or cisplatin plus S-1 (CS), were collected. We measured the mRNA expression of ERCC1 and analyzed SNPs in GSTP1 and ERCC1.

Background: We determined the predictive gene expression profiles associated with chemo-response in conventional osteosarcomas (COS) within South Africa.

Materials And Methods: In 28 patients, we performed an RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and quantitative analysis using the RT-PCR 2 method to determine the fold change in gene expression alongside GAPDH (housekeeping gene).

Results: We observed a significant downregulation in the mRNA expression profiles of ( = 0.
