Abstract
Aim: To investigate the influence of DDX11-AS1 on paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods: LncRNA expression and functional enrichment analyses were processed via bioinformatics methods. DDX11-AS1 expression was detected via quantitative real-time PCR. Cell counting kit-8, colony formation, flow cytometry and comet assays were manipulated to measure cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and DNA damage repair, respectively. Western blot was used to assess DNA damage-related protein expression. Results: DDX11-AS1 was in a high expression status in LUAD, and could promote LUAD cell proliferation and PTX resistance, while suppressing cell apoptosis. DNA damage repairing ability was also modulated by the change of DDX11-AS1 expression. Conclusion: LncRNA DDX11-AS1 promotes DNA damage repair to enhance PTX resistance in LUAD.
