    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests the involvement of Reelin in chemoresistance in various cancers. However, its function in cisplatin (DDP) sensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) needs to be investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Reelin expression in cisplatin-sensitive A549 cells and cisplatin-resistant NSCLC (A549/DDP) cells was analyzed by western blot analysis. qRT-PCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence, CCK-8 assays, Annexin V/propidium iodide apoptosis assay, and Transwell migration assays were carried out to determine the function of Reelin on DDP resistance. RESULTS Reelin was markedly increased in A549/DDP cells relative to A549 cells. Knockdown of Reelin enhanced DDP chemosensitivity of A549/DDP cells, whereas overexpression of Reelin enhanced DDP resistance of A549, H1299, and H460 cells. Reelin induced DDP resistance in NSCLC cells via facilitating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, Reelin modulated p38/GSK3ß signal transduction and promoted Snail (EMT-associated transcription factor) expression. Suppression of p38/Snail reversed Reelin-induced EMT and resistance of NSCLC cells to DDP. CONCLUSIONS These data indicated that Reelin induces DDP resistance of NSCLC by regulation of the p38/GSK3ß/Snail/EMT signaling pathway and provide evidence that Reelin suppression can be an effective strategy to suppress DDP resistance in NSCLC.
