Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide, and new diagnostic markers are urgently needed. We aimed to investigate the mechanism by which hsa_circ_0096157 regulates autophagy and cisplatin (DDP) resistance in NSCLC.
Methods: A549 cells were treated with DDP (0 μg/mL or 3 μg/mL). Then, the autophagy activator rapamycin (200 nm) was applied to the A549/DDP cells. Moreover, hsa_circ_0096157 and Nrf2 were knocked down, and Nrf2 was overexpressed in A549/DDP cells. The expression of Hsa_circ_0096157, the Nrf2/ARE pathway-related factors Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1, and the autophagy-related factors LC3, Beclin-1, and p62 was evaluated by qRT‒PCR or western blotting. Autophagosomes were detected through TEM. An MTS assay was utilized to measure cell proliferation. The associated miRNA levels were also tested by qRT‒PCR.
Results: DDP (3 μg/mL) promoted hsa_circ_0096157, LC3 II/I, and Beclin-1 expression and decreased p62 expression. Knocking down hsa_circ_0096157 resulted in the downregulation of LC3 II/I and Beclin-1 expression, upregulation of p62 expression, and decreased proliferation. Rapamycin reversed the effect of interfering with hsa_circ_0096157. Keap1 expression was lower, and Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 expression was greater in the A549/DDP group than in the A549 group. HO-1 expression was repressed after Nrf2 interference. In addition, activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway promoted autophagy in A549/DDP cells. Moreover, hsa_circ_0096157 activated the Nrf2/ARE pathway. The silencing of hsa_circ_0096157 reduced Nrf2 expression by releasing miR-142-5p or miR-548n. Finally, we found that hsa_circ_0096157 promoted A549/DDP cell autophagy by activating the Nrf2/ARE pathway.
Conclusion: Knockdown of hsa_circ_0096157 inhibits autophagy and DDP resistance in NSCLC cells by downregulating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

Chemotherapy resistance has long stood in the way of therapeutic advancement for lung cancer patients, the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and fatality rate in the world. Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) now have a dismal prognosis due to the development of cisplatin (DDP) resistance, forcing them to use more costly second-line therapies. Therefore, overcoming resistance and enhancing patient outcomes can be achieved by comprehending the regulatory mechanisms of DDP resistance in LUAD.

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality rate worldwide, of which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85%. KRAS mutations are one of the significant mechanisms underlying the occurrence, development, immune escape, and chemotherapy resistance of NSCLC. Two KRAS inhibitors are approved by FDA for the treatment of NSCLC in the past three years.

Drug resistance to chemotherapy in treating cancers becomes an increasingly serious challenge, which leads to treatment failure and poor patient survival. Drug-resistant cancer cells normally reduce intracellular accumulation of drugs by controlling drug uptake and promoting drug efflux, which severely limits the efficacy of chemotherapy. To overcome this problem, a membrane fused drug delivery system (MF-DDS) was constructed to treat cisplatin (DDP)-resistant lung cancer (A549-DDP) by delivering DDP via membrane fusion using a complementary coiled-coil forming peptides (CPK/CPE).

Multi-drug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) plays critical roles in the multi-drug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells, LncRNA HOTAIR is closely related to MDR in lung cancer, however, the effects of HOTAIR on MRP1 expression and MDR in lung cancer cells (A549/DDP) remain unknown. In this study, the effects of HOTAIR on MRP1 gene expression and MDR in A549/DDP cells were monitored. LncRNA HOTAIR was upregulated in A549/DDP cells, and overexpression of HOTAIR promoted MRP1 expression and MDR development.

Background: Cisplatin (DDP) resistance has long posed a challenge in the clinical treatment of lung cancer (LC). Insulin-like growth factor 2 binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) has been identified as an oncogenic factor in LC, whereas its specific role in DDP resistance in LC remains unclear.
Results: In this study, we investigated the role of IGF2BP2 on DDP resistance in DDP-resistant A549 cells (A549/DDP) in vitro and in a DDP-resistant lung tumor-bearing mouse model in vivo.
