{Abstract}: Cisplatin (DDP) is commonly used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and the primary cause for its clinical inefficacy is chemoresistance. Here, we aimed to investigate a novel mechanism of chemoresistance in LUAD cells, focusing on the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). In this study, high CaSR expression was detected in DDP-resistant LUAD cells, and elevated CaSR expression is strongly correlated with poor prognosis in LUAD patients receiving chemotherapy. LUAD cells with high CaSR expression exhibited decreased sensitivity to cisplatin, and the growth of DDP-resistant LUAD cells was inhibited by cisplatin treatment in combination with CaSR suppression, accompanied by changes in BRCA1 and cyclin B1 protein expression both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, an interaction between CaSR and KIF11 was identified. Importantly, suppressing KIF11 resulted in decreased protein levels of BRCA1 and cyclin B1, enhancing the sensitivity of DDP-resistant LUAD cells to cisplatin with no obvious decrease in CaSR. Here, our findings established the critical role of CaSR in promoting cisplatin resistance in LUAD cells by modulating cyclin B1 and BRCA1 and identified KIF11 as a mediator, highlighting the potential therapeutic value of targeting CaSR to overcome chemoresistance in LUAD.
