Proline-rich acidic protein 1 upregulates mitotic arrest deficient 1 to promote cisplatin-resistance of colorectal carcinoma by restraining mitotic checkpoint complex assembly.

ABSTRACT: Background: The mechanism underlying cisplatin resistance in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) has not yet been elucidated. This study is aimed to illustrate the indispensable role of proline-rich acidic protein 1 (PRAP1) in cisplatin-resistant CRC. Methods: Cell viability and apoptosis were monitored using cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry. Immunofluorescence and morphological analysis were used to determine mitotic arrest in cells. In vivo drug resistance was evaluated using a tumor xenograft assay. Results: PRAP1 was highly expressed in cisplatin-resistant CRC. PRAP1-upregulation in HCT-116 cells increased chemoresistance to cisplatin, whereas RNAi-mediated knockdown of PRAP1 sensitized cisplatin-resistant HCT-116 cells (HCT-116/DDP) to cisplatin. PRAP1-upregul
