Title:

KLF4 sensitizes the colon cancer cell HCT-15 to cisplatin by altering the expression of HMGB1 and hTERT

Excerpt:
We found that KLF4 expression sensitizes cancer cell to cisplatin cytotoxicity....This study suggests the involvement of KLF4-HMGB1/hTERT signaling in offering the basis for chemo-resistance in colon cancer cells and KLF4 overexpression as a probable strategy for sensitizing drug-resistant cancer cells to chemotherapy.
