Mechanism Description Cisplatin-based chemotherapy decreased miR-363 expression in HCC patients. miR-363 expression was also lower in HepG2-R cells than in HepG2 cells, which indicated that the downregulation of miR-363 may be related to cisplatin resistance. overexpression of miR-363 by its mimics can effectively increase the sensitivity of cisplatin-resistant HepG2 cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. overexpression of miR-363 could inhibit the expression of Mcl-1 in HepG2-R cells, which implied the inverse correlation between the expression of miR-363 and Mcl-1. More importantly, enforced exogenous Mcl-1 significantly attenuated apoptosis induced by cisplatin. All these results support that Mcl-1 is the target of miR-363 which can enhance sensitivity of human cisplatin-resistant HCC cell cisplatin at least partially.

Mechanism Description Cisplatin-based chemotherapy decreased miR-363 expression in HCC patients. miR-363 expression was also lower in HepG2-R cells than in HepG2 cells, which indicated that the downregulation of miR-363 may be related to cisplatin resistance. overexpression of miR-363 by its mimics can effectively increase the sensitivity of cisplatin-resistant HepG2 cells to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. overexpression of miR-363 could inhibit the expression of Mcl-1 in HepG2-R cells, which implied the inverse correlation between the expression of miR-363 and Mcl-1. More importantly, enforced exogenous Mcl-1 significantly attenuated apoptosis induced by cisplatin. All these results support that Mcl-1 is the target of miR-363 which can enhance sensitivity of human cisplatin-resistant HCC cell cisplatin at least partially.

Mechanism Description Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a key transcription factor regulating antioxidant, cytoprotective, and metabolic enzymes, plays important roles in drug resistance and proliferation in cancer cells. Nrf2 mRNA expression of kkU-M156 and kkU-100 cells, representatives of low and high-Nrf2-expressing CCA cells, were silenced using siRNA. After knockdown of Nrf2, the sensitivity of those cells to the cytotoxicity of cisplatin (Cis) was enhanced in association with the increased release of AIF and downregulation of Bcl-xl in both cells.

Mechanism Description LincRNA-VLDLR (linc-VLDLR) was significantly up-regulated in malignant hepatocytes. Exposure of HCC cells to diverse anti-cancer agents such as sorafenib, camptothecin, and doxorubicin increased linc-VLDLR expression in cells as well as within EVs released from these cells. Incubation with EVs reduced chemotherapy-induced cell death and also increased linc-VLDLR expression in recipient cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown of linc-VLDLR decreased cell viability and abrogated cell cycle progression. Moreover, knockdown of VLDLR reduced expression of ABCG2 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G member 2), whereas over-expression of this protein reduced the effects of VLDLR knockdown on sorafenib-induced cell death. Here, linc-VLDLR is identified as an extracellular vesicle enriched LncRNA that contributes to cellular stress responses.

Mechanism Description Synergistic interaction between the MDR mechanisms include ABCT proteins (P-gp, BCRP, and MDR1) and metabolic enzymes of phase I of metabolism mainly CYP3A4, phase II of metabolism mainly GST was observed. In this study, FUC alone and in combination with DOX inhibited the enzyme activities of CYP3A4 and GST and down regulated their genes. We interpret this effect as a consequence of a down-regulation of pregnane X receptor (PXR) gene.

Mechanism Description Synergistic interaction between the MDR mechanisms include ABCT proteins (P-gp, BCRP, and MDR1) and metabolic enzymes of phase I of metabolism mainly CYP3A4, phase II of metabolism mainly GST was observed. In this study, FUC alone and in combination with DOX inhibited the enzyme activities of CYP3A4 and GST and down regulated their genes. We interpret this effect as a consequence of a down-regulation of pregnane X receptor (PXR) gene. FUC overcame MDR by significantly suppressing PXR mediated pathways that regulated the expression of CYP3A and ABCB1 genes in HepG-2 cells.

Mechanism Description The Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are a multigene family of dimeric proteins which play a central role in the detoxification of electrophilic xenobiotics and catalyze their conjugation with GSH to electrophilic metabolites, thus rendering them more water soluble. GSTs protect cells from cytotoxic and carcinogenic chemicals. GST activity was decreased by resveratrol in a dose dependent manner. IC50 value was 30.73 M. This results were confirmed by RT-PCR data, where the tested samples changed the GST mRNA level by 0.79-fold (p < 0.01) of control level.

Mechanism Description High glucose upregulated the level of MDR-1, which can be expected the intracellular accumulation of anticancer drugs. Interestingly, reduced accumulation of doxorubicin was recorded in cells cultured in high glucose media. Curcumin-mediated inhibition of MDR-1 expression can be suggested as critical event leading to retention of anticancer drug in cellular interior.

Mechanism Description Synergistic interaction between the MDR mechanisms include ABCT proteins (P-gp, BCRP, and MDR1) and metabolic enzymes of phase I of metabolism mainly CYP3A4, phase II of metabolism mainly GST was observed. In this study, FUC alone and in combination with DOX inhibited the enzyme activities of CYP3A4 and GST and down regulated their genes. We interpret this effect as a consequence of a down-regulation of pregnane X receptor (PXR) gene. FUC overcame MDR by significantly suppressing PXR mediated pathways that regulated the expression of CYP3A and ABCB1 genes in HepG-2 cells.

Mechanism Description Curcumin was able to induce SDH expression and repress the IDH3a in HepG2 cells both in a normal or elevated level of glucose. Such changes in SDH and IDH3a levels can bring a reduction in the succinate accumulation and hindering the succinate-HIF-1alpha axis. The augmented expression of HIF-1alpha in high glucose conditions was resisted by curcumin. HIF-1alpha is known for metabolic regulation in malignant cells, their hyperglycolytic behavior, and the onset of chemoresistance. HIF-1 exerts protumor effects through the upregulated expression of enzymes and transporters favoring the hyperglycolytic and therapy-resistant phenotype.

Mechanism Description Ectopic expression of SNHG6-003 in HCC cells promoted cell proliferation and induced drug resistance, whereas SNHG6-003 knockdown promoted apoptosis. Moreover, SNHG6-003 functioned as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), effectively becoming sponge for miR-26a/b and thereby modulating the expression of transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAk1). Importantly, expression analysis revealed that both SNHG6-003 and TAk1 were upregulated in human cancers, exhibiting a co-expression pattern. In HCC patients, high expression of SNHG6-003 closely correlated with tumor progression and shorter survival.

Mechanism Description Ectopic expression of SNHG6-003 in HCC cells promoted cell proliferation and induced drug resistance, whereas SNHG6-003 knockdown promoted apoptosis. Moreover, SNHG6-003 functioned as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), effectively becoming sponge for miR-26a/b and thereby modulating the expression of transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAk1). Importantly, expression analysis revealed that both SNHG6-003 and TAk1 were upregulated in human cancers, exhibiting a co-expression pattern. In HCC patients, high expression of SNHG6-003 closely correlated with tumor progression and shorter survival.

Mechanism Description Compared with 5-FU-sensitive cells, 5-FU-resistant cells exhibited reduced expression levels of miR-125b, and transfection of pre-miR-125b into liver cancer cells resulted in an increased sensitivity of 5-FU-resistant cells to 5-FU. Since drug resistance is a phenotype of malignant cancer cells, the finding that miR-125b expression levels are negatively correlated with 5-FU resistance in HCC cells is consistent with the reported functions of miR-125b. In addition, 5-FU-resistant cells exhibited higher glucose metabolic activity than 5-FU-sensitive cells, and miR-125 was identified to downregulate glucose metabolism by directly targeting Hk II. These results identified miR-125b as a tumor suppressor-like microRNA, which has great potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Since drug resistance is a phenotype of malignant cancer cells, the finding that miR-125b expression levels are negatively correlated with 5-FU resistance in HCC cells is consistent with the reported functions of miR-125b. In addition, 5-FU-resistant cells exhibited higher glucose metabolic activity than 5-FU-sensitive cells, and miR-125 was identified to downregulate glucose metabolism by directly targeting Hk II. These results identified miR-125b as a tumor suppressor-like microRNA, which has great potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Mechanism Description Curcumin was able to induce SDH expression and repress the IDH3a in HepG2 cells both in a normal or elevated level of glucose. Such changes in SDH and IDH3a levels can bring a reduction in the succinate accumulation and hindering the succinate-HIF-1alpha axis. The augmented expression of HIF-1alpha in high glucose conditions was resisted by curcumin. HIF-1alpha is known for metabolic regulation in malignant cells, their hyperglycolytic behavior, and the onset of chemoresistance. HIF-1 exerts protumor effects through the upregulated expression of enzymes and transporters favoring the hyperglycolytic and therapy-resistant phenotype.

Mechanism Description miR6825-5p, miR6845-5p and miR6886-3p could decrease the level of USP22 protein by binding to the 3'-untranlated region of USP22 mRNA. All the three microRNAs (miRNAs) were downregulated by HULC, which resulted in the elevation of USP22. The pathway 'HULC/USP22/Sirt1/ protective autophagy' attenuates the sensitivity of HCC cells to chemotherapeutic agents.

The mouse xenograft model showed that miR-335 negatively regulated the tumorigenic potential of cancer cells. The down-regulation of SIAH2 conferred sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs. The results of the study indicated that the miR-335/SIAH2/HDAC3 axis regulates the response to anti-cancer drugs.

Mechanism Description The expression of the tumor-suppressive miRNA miR-375 was significantly induced in hepatoma cells treated with sorafenib, and miR-375 could exert its antiangiogenic effect partially via platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGFC) inhibition. Sorafenib inhibited PDGFC expression by inducing the expression of miR-375 and a transcription factor, achaete-scute homolog-1 (ASH1), mediated the induction of miR-375 by sorafeinb administration in hepatoma cells. The expression of miR-375 was reduced in sorafenib-resistant cells and that the restoration of miR-375 could resensitize sorafenib-resistant cells to sorafenib partially by the degradation of astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1).

Mechanism Description LincRNA-VLDLR (linc-VLDLR) was significantly up-regulated in malignant hepatocytes. Exposure of HCC cells to diverse anti-cancer agents such as sorafenib, camptothecin, and doxorubicin increased linc-VLDLR expression in cells as well as within EVs released from these cells. Incubation with EVs reduced chemotherapy-induced cell death and also increased linc-VLDLR expression in recipient cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown of linc-VLDLR decreased cell viability and abrogated cell cycle progression. Moreover, knockdown of VLDLR reduced expression of ABCG2 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G member 2), whereas over-expression of this protein reduced the effects of VLDLR knockdown on sorafenib-induced cell death. Here, linc-VLDLR is identified as an extracellular vesicle enriched LncRNA that contributes to cellular stress responses.

Mechanism Description Overexpression of miR-122 made drug-tolerant cells sensitive to sorafenib and induced apoptosis. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) was validated as a target of miR-122 and was repressed by this miRNA. miR-122-induced apoptosis was repressed by the IGF-1R activator IGFI or IGFII. Conversely, the IGF-1R inhibitor PPP or NVP-AEW541 in combination with sorafenib significantly induced cell apoptosis and disrupted tolerance to drugs in vitro. These results indicated that activation of IGF-1R by ectopic down-regulation of miR-122 counteracted the effects of sorafenib-induced apoptosis, thus conferring sorafenib resistance.

Additionally, HIF-1alpha overexpression rescued and HIF-1alpha knock-down abrogated the anti-HCC activity of miR-338-3p. Furthermore, miR-338-3p sensitized HCC cells to sorafenib in vitro and in a HCC subcutaneous nude mice tumor model by inhibiting HIF-1alpha. Collectively, miR-338-3p inhibits HCC tumor growth and sensitizes HCC cells to sorafenib by down-regulating HIF-1alpha.

Mechanism Description miR-335-mediated increased sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs was associated with its effect on HDAC3 and SIAH2 expression. miR-335 exerted apoptotic effects and inhibited ubiquitination of HDAC3 in anti-cancer drug-resistant cancer cell lines. miR-335 negatively regulated the invasion, migration, and growth rate of cancer cells. The mouse xenograft model showed that miR-335 negatively regulated the tumorigenic potential of cancer cells. The down-regulation of SIAH2 conferred sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs. The results of the study indicated that the miR-335/SIAH2/HDAC3 axis regulates the response to anti-cancer drugs.

Mechanism Description LincRNA-VLDLR (linc-VLDLR) was significantly up-regulated in malignant hepatocytes. Exposure of HCC cells to diverse anti-cancer agents such as sorafenib, camptothecin, and doxorubicin increased linc-VLDLR expression in cells as well as within EVs released from these cells. Incubation with EVs reduced chemotherapy-induced cell death and also increased linc-VLDLR expression in recipient cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown of linc-VLDLR decreased cell viability and abrogated cell cycle progression. Moreover, knockdown of VLDLR reduced expression of ABCG2 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G member 2), whereas over-expression of this protein reduced the effects of VLDLR knockdown on sorafenib-induced cell death. Here, linc-VLDLR is identified as an extracellular vesicle enriched LncRNA that contributes to cellular stress responses.
