It has been reported that redox homeostasis is required for the survival of cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells (Catanzaro et al., 2015) and recently, another study revealed that disrupting G6PD-mediated redox homeostasis enhances the chemosensitivity of oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer, which is consistent with our study in lung cancer (Ju et al., 2017). Here, G6PD is linked to colorectal cancer.
