BST2 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: The primary anticancer mechanism of platinum is to bind covalently to DNA and form platinum-DNA adducts, which results in apoptosis,30 and apoptosis dysregulation is one of the primary mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance.22, 31, 32 In this paper, we reported that BST2 inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis in NPC cells and that this effect may be associated with upregulation of anti-apoptotic factors.
