“…However, in cancer cells, DNA damage repair processes, such as nucleotide excision repair, post-replication repair and homologous recombination repair, may counteract the effects of cisplatin, resulting in cisplatin resistance (28). Recent studies have indicated that RRM2, an oncogene, plays a critical role in the proliferation, migration, invasion, and drug resistance of breast cancer cells, small cell lung cancer cells, renal clear cell carcinoma cells, and pancreatic cancer cells (29)(30)(31)(32). In lung adenocarcinoma, suppression of RRM2 also inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasive ability of lung adenocarcinoma cells (33)(34)(35)(36).…”
