WP1130 attenuates cisplatin resistance by decreasing P53 expression in non-small cell lung carcinomas.

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy significantly improves the survival outcomes in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs), but drug resistance commonly contributes to disease progression and relapse. Recently, accumulating evidence has indicated that deubiquitinases (DUBs) are involved in regulating tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, and chemoresistance. We designed this study to investigate the role of WP1130, a DUB inhibitor, in regulating cisplatin cytotoxicity in NSCLCs. After being combined with WP1130, cisplatin sensitivity was significantly increased in A549 and HCC827 cells with decreased p53 expression, inhibiting their proliferation, but not in p53-deficient NCI-H1299 cells. The synergistic cytotoxicity of the cisplatin and WP1130 co-treatment was abolished in p53-knockd
