“…A study revealed that lncRNA HCP5/miR-216a-3p/PDK1 enhanced radiotherapy resistance in KYSE30 and TE-1 cells by activating the AKT signaling pathway ( 114 ). Similarly, LINC00963/miR-10a/spindle and kinetochore associated complex subunit 1 was found to increase cisplatin resistance in TE-1 and TE-1/DDP cells, thereby promoting CDX growth ( 115 ). Furthermore, after cisplatin treatment, lncRNA non-coding repressor of NFAT was upregulated, contributing to cisplatin resistance by downregulating miR-31 in KYSE510 ( 116 ).…”
