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 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 miR-223 targeted ABCB1 3'UTR directly, and miR-223 down-regulated ABCB1 at both mRNA and protein levels. The over-expression of miR-223 increased the HCC cellsensitivity to anticancer drugs, and the inhibition of miR-223 had the opposite effect. Importantly, the over-expression or silencingof ABCB1 can rescue the cell response to the anticancer drugs mediated by miR-223 over-expression or inhibition.

Mechanism Description WT1-AS promotes cell apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma through down-regulating of WT1.WT1-AS expression correlated negatively with WT1 expression in HCC tumor tissue. kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed that WT1-AS expression is a reliable indicator of HCC prognosis. The downregulation of WT1 expression by WT1-AS promoted cell apoptosis by suppressing the JAk/STAT3 signaling pathway. Bioinformatics analysis showed that WT1-AS downregulates WT1 by binding to the TATA region of the WT1 promotor. WT1-AS was also able to reverse WT1-mediated resistance to Dox based chemotherapy in HCC cells.

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 Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase assays ofNrf2-3'-untranslated region-based reporter constructor indicated that Nrf2 was the direct target gene of miR-340, miR-340 mimics suppressing Nrf2-dependent antioxidant pathway and enhancing the sensitivity of HepG2/CDDP cells to cisplatin. Interestingly, transfection with miR-340 mimics combined with miR-340 inhibitorsreactivated the Nrf2 related pathway and restored the resistance of HepG2/CDDP cells to CDDP. Collectively,the results first suggested that lower expression of miR-340 is involved in the development of CDDP resistancein hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, at least partly due to regulating Nrf2-dependent antioxidant pathway.

Mechanism Description miR-223 targeted ABCB1 3'UTR directly, and miR-223 down-regulated ABCB1 at both mRNA and protein levels. The over-expression of miR-223 increased the HCC cellsensitivity to anticancer drugs, and the inhibition of miR-223 had the opposite effect. Importantly, the over-expression or silencingof ABCB1 can rescue the cell response to the anticancer drugs mediated by miR-223 over-expression or inhibition.

Mechanism Description IDH2 knockdown resulted in significantly increased HIF-1alpha expression in both BEL-7402 and BEL-7402/5-FU cells. knockdown of SOCS6 had similar but stronger effect as miR-183 in promoting MRP2, P-gp, p-STAT3 and HIF-1alpha expression in BEL-7402 cells, while SOCS6 overexpression also showed similar but stronger effect as miR-183 inhibition in reducing MRP2, P-gp, p-STAT3 and HIF-1alpha levels in BEL-7402/5-FU cells. Both SOCS6 overexpression and miR-183 knockdown significantly increased the sensitivity of BEL-7402/5-FU cells to 5-FU. miR-183 overexpression partly abrogated the effect of SOCS6 in enhancing 5-FU sensitivity.

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 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.

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 miR-196b overexpression decreased IGF2BP1 RNA expression and protein level. The IGF2BP1 down-regulation by either miR-196b or IGF2BP1 siRNA led to an increase in apoptosis and a decrease in cell viability and proliferation in normal culture conditions. However, IGF2BP1 silencing did not modify the chemoresistance induced by hypoxia, probably because it is not the only target of miR-196b involved in the regulation of apoptosis.

Mechanism Description To overcome chemotherapy resistance, novel strategies sensitizing cancer cells to chemotherapy are required. Here, we screen the lysyl-oxidase (LOX) family to clarify its contribution to chemotherapy resistance in liver cancer. LOXL3 depletion significantly sensitizes liver cancer cells to Oxaliplatin by inducing ferroptosis. Chemotherapy-activated EGFR signaling drives LOXL3 to interact with TOM20, causing it to be hijacked into mitochondria, where LOXL3 lysyl-oxidase activity is reinforced by phosphorylation at S704. Metabolic adenylate kinase 2 (AK2) directly phosphorylates LOXL3-S704. Phosphorylated LOXL3-S704 targets dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and stabilizes it by preventing its ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. K344-deubiquitinated DHODH accumulates in mitochondria, in turn inhibiting chemotherapy-induced mitochondrial ferroptosis. CRISPR-Cas9-mediated site-mutation of mouse LOXL3-S704 to D704 causes a reduction in lipid peroxidation. Using an advanced liver cancer mouse model, we further reveal that low-dose Oxaliplatin in combination with the DHODH-inhibitor Leflunomide effectively inhibit liver cancer progression by inducing ferroptosis, with increased chemotherapy sensitivity and decreased chemotherapy toxicity.
