IL-25 promotes cisplatin resistance of lung cancer cells by activating NF-κB signaling pathway to increase of major vault protein.

ABSTRACT: As an inflammatory factor, IL-25 has been studied in variouscancers, but it is rarely reported in cancer chemotherapy resistance. Major vault protein (MVP), as a gene associated with lung multidrug resistance, is associated with multiple chemotherapy resistances of lung cancer. However, the relationship between IL-25 and MVP in lung cancer cells has not been studied. In this study, we found that both IL-25 and MVP were elevated expressed in cisplatin-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549/CDDP). Silencing of IL-25 resulted in down-regulation of MVP expression and reduced cisplatin tolerance of A549/CDDP cells. Overexpression of IL-25 resulted in increase of MVP expression and the cisplatin tolerance in A549 cells. In addition, we found that the extracellular IL-25 could stimulate th
