The crosstalk between SND1 and PDCD4 is associated with chemoresistance of non-small cell lung carcinoma cells by Yun Zhao, Shanel Dhani, Vladimir Gogvadze, Boris Zhivotovsky

“…In the NSCLC cells (A549 and H23 cells) with low expression of PDCD4, despite the downregulation of PDCD4, silencing of SND1 still led to sensitization of NSCLC cells to treatment with different chemotherapeutic agents by the inhibition of autophagic activity. Thus, a novel correlation interlinking SND1 and PDCD4 in the regulation of NSCLC cells concerning chemotherapy was revealed, which contributes to understanding the mechanisms of chemoresistance in NSCLC.…”
