Abstract

The invention discloses application of an SP1 gene as a biomarker and a therapeutic target point of drug-resistant solid tumors, and particularly discloses novel discovery of drug resistance of solid tumors based on high expression of SP1 in solid tumor tissues, wherein the gene or/and protein is used as the target point for diagnosing and treating the drug-resistant solid tumors.

Technical Field
The invention relates to a solid tumor drug resistance diagnosis and prognosis evaluation technology, in particular to a novel discovery that a Sp1 transcription factor (SP 1, namely Sp1 transcription factor) is highly expressed in a solid tumor tissue and causes solid tumor drug resistance, and the gene or/and protein is used as a target point for diagnosing and prognosing the solid tumor drug resistance.
Background
Conventional treatments for solid tumors include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy (chemotherapy) plays an important role in the treatment of solid tumors, however, most patients experience chemotherapy drug tolerance during the course of receiving chemotherapy resulting in treatment failure. More importantly, in chemotherapy, the tumor develops resistance to one drug (single drug resistance) and also develops cross resistance to other drugs which are not used and have different chemical structures and action mechanisms, and this phenomenon is called multi-drug resistance. Research on the mechanism of drug resistance occurrence of solid tumors and the search for and development of drugs for reversing drug resistance are important research fields in current tumor prevention and treatment. In order to reverse the drug resistance of solid tumors, improve the curative effect of chemotherapy of solid tumors, reduce the drug resistance risk and prolong the survival rate, the field is urgently required to research the mechanism and key gene targets of the drug resistance occurrence of solid tumors in various modes.
