Article Abstract
Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the malignant tumor with the highest mortality among gynecological cancers. Chemotherapy resistance is a major obstacle to OC therapy. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial roles in cancer development and chemoresistance. However, the role and potential mechanism of has-circ-001567 (circ-VPS13C) in chemoresistance of OC remain unknown.
Material And Methods: The levels of circ-VPS13C, miR-106b-5p and 14-3-3 zeta (YWHAZ) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot assay. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to assess cell viability and calculate the half inhibition concentration (IC) of cisplatin (DDP). The levels of autophagy-related markers were measured by western blot assay. Cell apoptosis and migration were evaluated by flow cytometry and transwell assay, respectively. The binding relationship between miR-106b-5p and circ-VPS13C or YWHAZ was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Xenograft assay was performed to explore the role of circ-VPS13C .
Results: Circ-VPS13C and YWHAZ were up-regulated, while miR-106b-5p was down-regulated in DDP-resistant OC tissues and cells. Knockdown of circ-VPS13C enhanced DDP sensitivity by repressing autophagy in DDP-resistant cells. Circ-VPS13C increased DDP resistance via sponging miR-106b-5p. Moreover, miR-106b-5p directly targeted YWHAZ. Up-regulation of YWHAZ alleviated the decrease in DDP resistance caused by circ-VPS13C depletion. In addition, circ-VPS13C silencing decreased DDP resistance .
Conclusions: Circ-VPS13C knockdown enhanced DDP sensitivity of OC through modulation of autophagy via the miR-106b-5p/YWHAZ axis, providing a new biomarker for improving the efficacy of OC chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) limits clinical efficacy. In this study, we first established circ_IGF2BP1 knockdown models in LUAD cells (A549 and H1299). Using dual-luciferase reporter assays, functional analyses, and miR-885-3p rescue experiments, we demonstrated that circ_IGF2BP1 promotes LUAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by directly targeting miR-885-3p.

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.

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.

This study reports the synthesis and antitumor evaluation of six novel dinuclear calcium(II) complexes with the general formula [Ca(μ-O)(QM)(QH)], designated as CaQ1 through CaQ6. These complexes incorporate various deprotonated 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands (H-QM-H-QM) and 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives (QH), synthesized using Ca(NO)·4HO. The specific compositions are as follows: CaQ1: H-QM = 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (x = 1), QH = bathophenanthroline; CaQ2: H-QM = 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinol (x = 2), QH = bathophenanthroline; CaQ3: H-QM = 5,7-diiodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (x = 3), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline; CaQ4: H-QM = 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinol (x = 2), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline; CaQ5: H-QM = clioquinol (x = 4), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline; CaQ6: H-QM = 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (x = 1), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline.
