Abstract In order to improve therapeutic efficacy, it is a current emergency to better know the mechanisms underlying
cisplatin resistance in lung cancer cells. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of Krüppel-like factor 4
(KLF4) in cisplatin-resistant lung cancer cells. We developed cisplatin-resistant lung cancer cell line A549/
DDP, and then a battery of experiments was used to analyze the effects of KLF4 in cisplatin resistance of
lung cancer. We found that KLF4 was significantly downregulated in cisplatin-resistant A549 cells and forced
KLF4 expression inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis. Further, we found More >
