Cisplatin resistance driver claspin is a target for immunotherapy in urothelial carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer is a major and fatal urological disease. Cisplatin is a key drug for the treatment of bladder cancer, especially in muscle-invasive cases. In most cases of bladder cancer, cisplatin is effective; however, resistance to cisplatin has a significant negative impact on prognosis. Thus, a treatment strategy for cisplatin-resistant bladder cancer is essential to improve the prognosis. In this study, we established a cisplatin-resistant (CR) bladder cancer cell line using an urothelial carcinoma cell lines (UM-UC-3 and J82). We screened for potential targets in CR cells and found that claspin (CLSPN) was overexpressed. CLSPN mRNA knockdown revealed that CLSPN had a role in cisplatin resistance in CR cells. In our previous study, we identified human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02:01-r
