摘要

Chemoresistance and metastasis remain significant challenges in cancer therapy, resulting in treatment failures for cancer patients. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the mechanisms underlying cancer chemoresistance and metastasis, identify novel drug targets, and develop innovative antitumor medications. In this study, we have shown that the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBE2N plays a crucial role in promoting chemoresistance and metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) both in vitro and in vivo. Significantly, our study revealed that the natural compound wilforine functions as a potential inhibitor of UBE2N, effectively reversing resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) and inhibiting metastasis of LUAD both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings collectively suggest that UBE2N may have a pivotal role in the development of chemoresistance and metastasis in LUAD, providing a foundation for potential therapeutic strategies in the management of advanced cancer.
