MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been discovered to have pivotal roles in regulating the drug resistance of various types of human cancer, including cisplatin (DDP) resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Fewer studies have explored the roles of miR-106a in NSCLC-cell resistance to DDP and its precise molecular mechanism has remained elusive. In the present study, whether miR-106a was able to mediate resistance of the lung cancer cell line A549 to DDP was investigated. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze miR-106a mRNA expression levels. miR-106a expression levels were upregulated in the DDP-resistant cell line A549/DDP compared with its parental cell line, A549. miR-106a-transfection induced DDP-resistance in A549 cells, while repression of miR-106a by anti-miR-106a in A549/DDP resulted in enhanced DDP cytotoxicity. Furthermore, it was discovered that the mechanism of miR-106a-induced DDP resistance involved the expression of adenosine triphosphatase-binding cassette, sub-family A, member 1 (ABCA1), as indicated by transfection of cells with short interfering RNA-ABCA1. The results of the present study suggested a novel mechanism underlying DDP-resistance in NSCLC.

Copper transporter family proteins may regulate the chemoresistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to platinum-based anticancer drugs. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of these proteins in lung cancer tissue specimens for association with clinicopathological data and patient responses to chemotherapy and survival. A total of 54 patients with surgically resected NSCLC that received first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy were recruited in the present study, and the paraffin-embedded pre-treatment tumor tissue specimens were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis for the expression of human copper transporter 1 (hCtr1) and copper-transporting p-type adenosine triphosphatase 1 (ATP7A) and 2 (ATP7B). This cohort of patients with NSCLC received platinum-based chemotherapy subsequent to the surgical removal of tumor lesions. ATP7B expression was found to be significantly associated with tumor cell differentiation, while hCtr1 expression was significantly associated with improved chemotherapeutic responses. The median survival time was 20 months in patients possessing tumors with high ATP7A expression, but >66 months in patients possessing tumors with low ATP7A expression at the end of the follow-up (P<0.001). The median survival time at the end of the follow-up was 15 months in patients with low tumor hCtr1 expression, but >66 months in patients with high tumor hCtr1 expression (P<0.001). High hCtr1 and low ATP7A expression were each favorable prognostic factors subsequent to chemotherapy for patients with resected NSCLC. Multivariate analysis revealed that high hCtr1 expression combined with low ATP7A expression, good tumor differentiation and female gender were all favorable independent predictive and prognostic factors for patients with resected NSCLC following chemotherapy. High hCtr1 expression combined with low ATP7A expression was associated with an improved prognosis in patients with resected NSCLC that received platinum-based chemotherapy. Surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve the survival time of patients with NSCLC.

Copper transporter 1 (CTR1), copper transporter 2 (CTR2), copper-transporting p-type adenosine triphosphatase 1 and 2 (ATP7A and ATP7B) are key mediators of cellular cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin accumulation. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the relation of CTR1, CTR2, ATP7A and ATP7B to overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and treatment response (TR) of cancer patients who received chemotherapy based on published literatures, the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were pooled using random-effect models. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted; heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Twelve literatures and eight datasets with 2149 patients were included. Our results suggested that high CTR1 expression was associated with favorable OS, PFS, DFS and TR in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy with acceptable heterogeneity. The relationship of CTR1 to cancer prognosis remained significant in the subgroup of patients who underwent platinum-based chemotherapy, the patients with ovarian cancer and those with lung cancer. The significance of these relationships was not influenced by geological region of publication, data origin or detection method. However, there was no evidence for relation of CTR2, ATP7A or ATP7B to OS, PFS, DFS or TR. Test of publication bias and sensitivity analysis suggested a robustness of all the summary effect estimates. In conclusion, high CTR1 level predicts prolonged survival and enhanced response to chemotherapy in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy and CTR1 might be a potential target to circumvent chemotherapy resistance.
