Platinum-based chemotherapy is a common clinical treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and chemoresistance is a major leading reason for cancer treatment failure. MiR-302a-3p is involved in the development of many diseases. Here, we investigated the role of miR-302a-3p in the cisplatin resistance of ESCC cells and explored its potential mechanism via molecular techniques. The expression of miR-302a-3p was significantly reduced, while the expressions of EphA2 were increased in ESCC tumor tissues and cells. EphA2 was one target gene of miR-302a-3p, and was negatively regulated by miR-302a-3p. By regulating EphA2, miR-302a-3p reduced the viability and promoted the apoptosis of ECA109 cells treated with cisplatin, suggesting that miR-302a-3p could enhance the sensitivity of ECA109 cells to cisplatin treatment by targeting EphA2. MiR-302a-3p plays an important role in reducing cisplatin resistance by inhibiting EphA2, suggesting that it may be a promising therapeutic strategy for cisplatin resistance in ESCC in the future.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002465	Cell Movement	The movement of cells from one location to another. Distinguish from CYTOKINESIS which is the process of dividing the CYTOPLASM of a cell.	Cell Migration,Locomotion, Cell,Migration, Cell,Motility, Cell,Movement, Cell,Cell Locomotion,Cell Motility,Cell Movements,Movements, Cell
D002945	Cisplatin	An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D035683	MicroRNAs	Small double-stranded, non-protein coding RNAs, 21-25 nucleotides in length generated from single-stranded microRNA gene transcripts by the same RIBONUCLEASE III, Dicer, that produces small interfering RNAs (RNA, SMALL INTERFERING). They become part of the RNA-INDUCED SILENCING COMPLEX and repress the translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) of target RNA by binding to homologous 3'UTR region as an imperfect match. The small temporal RNAs (stRNAs), let-7 and lin-4, from C. elegans, are the first 2 miRNAs discovered, and are from a class of miRNAs involved in developmental timing.
