Mechanism Description miR-146b-5p was highly expressed in human osteosarcoma tissues and an elevated expression of miR-146b-5p was observed in human osteosarcoma tissues after chemotherapy. Furthermore, it was shown that miR-146b-5p overexpression promoted migration and invasiveness. miR-146b-5p overexpression also increased resistance to chemotherapy. Moreover, knockdown of miR-146b-5p substantially inhibited migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells as well as rendered them significantly more sensitive to chemotherapy. Results of western blot assay indicated that miR-146b-5p increased MMP-16 protein expression and showed a decrease of ZNRF3 protein. Whereas, IWR-1-endo, an inhibitor of Wnt/beta-catenin, suppressed the decrease in apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells caused by miR-146b-5p overexpression. These results indicated that miR-146b-5p promoted proliferation, migration and invasiveness.

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 Over-expression of SOX8 promoted cell survival, enhanced soft agar clonogenesis, and attenuated caspase-3 activities after drug treatment in GTN cells. Importantly, SOX8 might be a potential regulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, as SOX8 regulated the expression of antioxidant enzymes (GPX1, HMOX1) and reduced drug-induced ROS accumulation in GTN cell models. Collectively, SOX8 might promote drug resistance through attenuating the accumulation of ROS induced by chemotherapeutic drugs in GTN cells.

Resistant Disease Rheumatoid arthritis [ICD-11: FA20.0]
Experimental Note Identified from the Human Clinical Data
Mechanism Description MTX is a substrate for eight ABC transporters. In vitro studies demonstrated that RAFLS treated with MTX had higher ABCB1 expression levels than controls, with a positive correlation between ABCB1 expression levels and RA treatment duration. In addition to MTX, other DMARDs (e.g. sulfasalazine, leflunomide, bucillamine, azathioprine), glucocorticoids (e.g. betamethasone, dexamethasone), and NSAIDs (e.g. celecoxib and indomethacin) are also substrates of ABC transporters.

Resistant Disease Rheumatoid arthritis [ICD-11: FA20.0]
Experimental Note Identified from the Human Clinical Data
Mechanism Description The wild-type p53 tumor suppressor (p53) is overexpressed in response to DNA damage and inflammation in RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), which are highly specialized mesenchymal cells located in the internal lining of the synovium and are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of RA. In line with the effects of p53 gain-of-function mutation in tumor progression, mutation-mediated gain-of-function of p53 may contribute to the invasiveness and apoptosis-resistant feature of FLS in RA and the increased expression of cartilage degradative proteases, leading to degeneration of cartilage and bone. Gene knockout or gene transfer studies using a collagen-II-induced arthritis (CIA) model have established the crucial role of p53 in RA that provides a basis for additional research to fully characterize the clinical implications of p53 somatic mutations in drug-resistant RA.
