Identification of key lncRNAs associated with oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer cells and isolated exosomes: From In-Silico prediction to In-Vitro validation.

ABSTRACT: One of the critical challenges in managing colorectal cancer (CRC) is the development of oxaliplatin (OXP) resistance. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have a crucial role in CRC progression and chemotherapy resistance, with exosomal lncRNAs emerging as potential biomarkers. This study aimed to predict key lncRNAs involved in OXP-resistance using in-silico methods and validate them using RT-qPCR methods in CRC cells and their isolated exosomes. Two public datasets, GSE42387 and GSE119481, were downloaded from the GEO database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) associated with OXP-resistance in the HCT116 cell line. The analysis of GSE42387 revealed 210 DEGs, and GSE119481 identified 73 DEmiRNAs. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis of the
