Abstract

Multidrug resistance (MDR) in gastric cancer remains a major challenge to clinical treatment. Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is a stress response gene involved in homeostasis and cellular protection. However, the expression and function of ATF4 in gastric cancer MDR remains unknown. In this study, we investigate whether ATF4 play a role in gastric cancer MDR and its potential mechanisms.

Figure 1B, C, D, E, H: When transfected into SGC7901 and AGS cells, colony number increased due to overexpression of ATF4. When ATF4 was knocked out of expression in SGC7901/ADR and SGC7901/VCR cells the colony number decreased. This shows that ATF4 produced multi-drug resistance in cancer cells, allowing for cell growth.
