“…Clinically, chemotherapy is the major therapeutic approach for the conventional and essential treatment of cancer patients [3].Several anti-cancer medicines are being used in the clinic as the primary support of the current treatment to reduce the death of cancer patients [15]. However, inherent or acquired resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs (eg, 5-FU, Cisplatin, Paclitaxel and Carboplatin, Doxorubicin, and Tamoxifen) remains the major contributor to therapy failure in solid cancers [15,16,17,18].Theunderlying mechanisms governing the development of chemoresistance are complicated and the leading pathway(s) are ill-de ned.While multiple mechanisms can mediate drug resistance development, FOXM1 is repeatedly identi ed as a common factor associated with weaker response to conventional cancer therapies by regulating several target genes associated with cell cycle and DNA repair [3,5,18,21,22,23,24].There are diverse molecular mechanisms of cancer drug resistance mediated through FOXM1, including enhanced DNA damage repair [23,24,25], oxidative stress prevention [26,27,28], increased drug e ux activity [29,30,31,20], increased thymidylate synthase (TS) activity [32,33], the negative regulation of the JNK/mitochondrial pathway [34], induction of AMPK/mTOR-mediated autophagy [21], orvia up-regulating microtubule dynamics regulation associated components and blocking drug-induced mitotic catastrophe [35,36].Accordingly, the knockdown of FOXM1 or its downstream targets was found very effective in restoring standard chemotherapy sensitivity in many human cancers, including colorectal cancer [20,32], Lung carcinoma [34], breast cancer [36], ovarian cancer [37], prostate cancer…”
