The STAT3 induced ITGB4 overexpression represses p53 to reduce the sensitivity of bladder cancer to cisplatin
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for patients with advanced bladder cancer, but the development of cisplatin-resistance limits its anti-tumor effects. Previous studies have shown that cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer may be related to a variety of factors, such as changes in drug transport and metabolism, enhancement of DNA repair mechanisms, changes in cell cycle regulation, inhibition of apoptosis, and epigenetic modification. While, the mechanism of cisplatin resistance is still elusive.In this study, we first found that upregulated ITGB4 is correlated with poor prognosis after chemotherapy in bladder cancer. Next, we demonstrated ITGB4 plays a key role in regulating the sensitivity of bladder cancer to cisplatin therapy. Then, we found that ITGB4 reduced the sensitivity of bladder cancer to cisplatin by inhibiting p53-S15 site phosphorylation and promoting MDM2 binding to p53 to reduce p53 expression. In addition, we demonstrated that ITGB4 regulates the antitumor effects of MDM2 inhibitors combined with cisplatin therapy. Further, we found that ITGB4 was elevated in bladder cancer cisplatin-resistant cells, and the increase in ITGB4 was mediated by STAT3.The combination of STAT3 inhibitors can enhance the antitumor effect of cisplatin in bladder cancer.In summary, we identified ITGB4 as a key molecule affecting cisplatin sensitivity in bladder cancer, and proposed a strategy of combining drugs with STAT3 inhibitors to increase cisplatin sensitivity in bladder cancer.
