Tolerance to endoplasmic reticulum stress mediates cisplatin resistance in human ovarian cancer cells by maintaining endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial homeostasis

The mechanism of cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer is not fully understood. In the present study, we showed a critical role for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress tolerance in mediating cisplatin resistance in human ovarian cancer cells. We found cisplatin to inhibit the proliferation of two ovarian cancer cell lines: cisplatin-sensitive SKOV3 cells and cisplatin‑resistant SKOV3/DDP cells. However, the effect was greater in the...
