This study explores the relationship between m6A modification and ferroptosis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and its impact on cisplatin resistance. We established cisplatin-resistant cells. CCK-8 and Transwell assays were conducted to evaluate the effects of METTL3 on drug resistance, migration, and invasion. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to measure target gene expression and the effects of overexpression and suppression. RIP, luciferase reporter assay, and other experiments were utilized to investigate the interaction between METTL3 and NRF2. Additionally, rescue experiments were performed to confirm the role of the METTL3/NRF2 axis in tumor drug resistance. METTL3 was found to be highly expressed in cisplatin-resistant cells, enhancing m6A modification levels, stabilizing NRF2 mRNA, and increasing NRF2 protein expression to inhibit ferroptosis. These findings indicate that the METTL3/NRF2 axis inhibits ferroptosis in cisplatin-resistant cells, thereby promoting chemotherapy resistance in ICC. This provides a potential direction for future research and treatment of ICC.

Cyclin D3 (CCND3), a member of the cyclin D family, is known to promote cell cycle transition. In this study, we found that CCND3 was downregulated in cisplatin-resistant (-diamminedichloroplatinum, DDP) lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells. The loss of CCND3 indeed impeded cell cycle transition.

Platinum resistance is a common cause of chemotherapy failure in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), which function by competitively binding to miRNAs, can influence drug response. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ceRNAs underlying chemoresistance in LUAD remain largely unknown.

Objectives: This study aims to discover the role of lncRNA MIR17HG, referred to as MIR17HG, in cisplatin resistance for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Methods: QRT-PCR was conducted to measure the expression of MIR17HG in cisplatin-resistant/sensitive CCA cells and clinical CCA specimens. Log-rank test was used to analyze the survival curve.

A series of dinuclear Ir(III) complexes have been constructed for enhanced photodynamic and photothermal therapy (PDT and PTT) for cisplatin-resistant non-small-cell lung cancer. They enter cells via caveolar endocytosis, target mitochondria but not nuclear, generate both singlet oxygen and superoxide anion, and release heat when exposed to infrared (IR) irradiation, thus inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated cell disruption and thermal ablation. The IR-generated ROS can further activate caspases, triggering apoptosis.

This study investigates the structural, vibrational, and biological properties of novel palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with 5-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (5ClL) and 4-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (4ClL) ligands. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy, combined with DFT (ωB97X-D) calculations, provided valuable information about metal-ligand interactions, the or conformation of the aldehyde group in the ligands, and the presence of isomers in the metal complexes obtained in the solid state. tests were used to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of the novel complexes against several cancer cell lines, including ovarian cancer (A2780), cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer (A2780cis), colon cancer (HT-29), and triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), as well as normal mouse fibroblasts (BALB/3T3).
