CASP3 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Consistent with these results, we found that knockdown of Annexin A2 significantly increased Caspase 3/7 activity, cleaved PARP levels, as well as cisplatin-induced cell apoptosis in A549/DDP cells, which suggested that Annexin A2 enhanced cisplatin resistance of NSCLC cells by a mechanism of inhibiting cell apoptosis.
