Of note, silencing CTR2 in miR-128-3p-overexpressing NSCLC cells reversely increased cisplatin uptake and cisplatin-induced apoptosis, whereas it hardly altered uptake of gemcitabine or paclitaxel, or cellular apoptosis induced by these two chemotherapeutic drugs (Fig. 2j and Supplementary Fig. 3g–i). The gene discussed is SLC31A2; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
