Abstract
Lobaplatin shows antitumor activity against a wide range of tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and has been linked to cancer stem cell pool. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms behind lobaplatin resistance and stemness in vitro and in vivo. Two chemoresistance-related GEO data sets (GSE70690 and GSE103115) were included to screen out relevant genes. Cysteine-rich secretory protein 3 (CRISP3) was found to be overexpressed in lobaplatin-resistant TNBC and related to poor diagnosis. CRISP3 expression was significantly correlated with tumor stemness markers in lobaplatin-resistant cells. E1A-associated protein p300 (EP300) regulated CRISP3 expression by affecting the H3K27ac modification of the CRISP3 promoter. In addition, knocking down EP300 curbed the malignant biological behavior of lobaplatin-resistant cells, which was antagonized by CRISP3 overexpression. Collectively, our results highlight the EP300/CRISP3 axis as a key driver of lobaplatin resistance in TNBC and suggest that therapeutic targeting of this axis may be an effective strategy for enhancing platinum sensitivity in TNBC.
