Patients with bladder cancer (BCa) frequently acquires resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, particularly cisplatin. This study centered on the mechanism of cisplatin resistance in BCa and highlighted the pivotal role of lactylation in driving this phenomenon. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing, we delineated the single-cell landscape of Bca, pinpointing a distinctive subset of BCa cells that exhibit marked resistance to cisplatin with association with glycolysis metabolism. Notably, we observed that H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) plays a crucial role in activating the transcription of target genes by enriching in their promoter regions. Targeted inhibition of H3K18la effectively restored cisplatin sensitivity in these cisplatin-resistant epithelial cells. Furthermore, H3K18la-driven key transcription factors YBX1 and YY1 promote cisplatin resistance in BCa. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance, offering valuable insights for identifying novel intervention targets to overcome drug resistance in Bca.

Cisplatin resistance significantly limits the efficacy of chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer, necessitating the development of new strategies to overcome this barrier. This in vitro study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which β-Ele reverses cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma cells via the LINC00511-mediated glycolysis and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. The cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549/DDP), with either LINC00511 overexpression or knockdown, was established through plasmid transfection.

Despite significant advancements in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using conventional therapeutic methods, drug resistance remains a major factor contributing to disease recurrence. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential benefits of combining PI3K inhibition with Cisplatin in the context of NSCLC-derived A549 cells. Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were cultured and treated with BKM120, cisplatin, or their combination.

Background: Cisplatin (DDP) is a clinical first-line chemotherapy drug for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but treatment is often ineffective due to drug resistance. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a critical regulator/factor in HCC tumor progression. Our previous research showed that DDP promoted the expression of YAP1 in mice bearing H22 cell in situ liver tumors, which might be related to the poor therapeutic effect of DDP.

Introduction: Accurately predicting tumor cell line responses to therapeutic drugs is essential for personalized cancer treatment. Current methods using bulk cell data fail to fully capture tumor heterogeneity and the complex mechanisms underlying treatment responses.
Methods: This study introduces a novel method, ATSDP-NET (Attention-based Transfer Learning for Enhanced Single-cell Drug Response Prediction), which combines bulk and single-cell data.

Introduction: Copper complexes, as endogenous metals, have potential in cancer therapy, addressing issues associated with cisplatin. Since cisplatin uses Copper Transporter 1 (CTR1) for cellular entry, copper complexes may utilize this pathway to enhance transport efficiency.
Methods: The Cu/Na dipicolinic acid complex was synthesized to assess its cytotoxicity, induction of apoptosis, drug resistance, and inflammation in cancerous and normal lung cells.
