PUF60 Promotes Chemoresistance Through Drug Efflux and Reducing Apoptosis in Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: Chemotherapy resistance is a great challenge in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC), so it is urgent to explore the prognostic markers of chemoresistance. PUF60 (Poly (U)-binding splicing factor 60) is a nucleic acid-binding protein that has been shown to regulate transcription and link to tumorigenesis in various cancers. However, its biological role and function in chemotherapy resistance of GC is unclear. Methods: The expression and prognostic value of PUF60 in GC chemotherapy-resistant patients were analyzed by databases and K-M Plotter. The functional effect of PUF60 on chemoresistance in GC was studied by by RNA interference, CCK8 test, colony formation test and apoptosis detection. Moreover, further validation and mechanism exploration were conducted in cl
