Moreover, we confirmed that LNCAROD prevented ubiquitin‐proteasome degradation of PARP1 protein by facilitating PARP1‐NPM1 interaction, thereby contributing to homologous recombination‐mediated DNA double‐strand breaks repair and enhancing the radiation resistance of ESCC cells. The gene discussed is PARP1; the disease is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
