    Abstract A major challenge in treating cancer is the development of drug resistance, which can result in treatment failure and tumor recurrence. Targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with a polyphenolic substance called resveratrol has the ability to combat this problem by lowering cancer resistance to drugs and opening up new therapeutic options. Resveratrol alters the expression of genes related to self-renewal, modulating important signaling pathways involved in cancer initiation and CSC control. Additionally, resveratrol affects non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs which are essential for stemness, drug resistance, and other cancer-related activities. Numerous studies have shown that resveratrol has the potential to be an effective anticancer drug when used in combination therapy, but issues with absorption and pharmacokinetics still need to be resolved before it can be used in clinical applications. Reducing chemotherapy resistance by better understanding the intricate mechanisms by which resveratrol affects cancer cells and CSCs, as well as its impact on ncRNA expression, could eventually contribute to more effective cancer treatments. To completely understand these pathways and optimize the utilization of resveratrol in combination treatments, additional study is necessary.

    Abstract The NF-kB signaling pathway was introduced as a key pathway in carcinogenesis that is induced by inflammation in gastrointestinal malignancies. The RelA transcription factor is an important component of this signaling pathway. Furthermore, CD44 is implicated in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to assay the effect of RELA knockout on CD44 expression in MKN45 cells. CRISPR/Cas9 was used to knock out RELA in MKN-45. The median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD44 before and after RELA knockout is analyzed in MKN45. The CRISPR/Cas9 vector pSpCas9 (BB)-2A-Puro (PX459) was used for gRNA cloning (two guides). The MKN-45 cell line was co-transfected. The purified co-transfected cells with puromycin were cultured and used for the RELA gene expression assay by real-time PCR. Flow cytometry was used for the analysis of the MFI of CD44+ in MKN45. The results showed that 180 nucleotide sequences between exon 2 and exon 3 of RELA were deleted in MKN45. RELA expression significantly (P<0.001) decreased after CRISPR/Cas9 knockout. Compared to the control group, the MFI of CD44 in transfected cells significantly decreased (P <0.001). Knockout of RELA significantly decreased CD44 expression in MKN45 cells. It can be concluded that the NF-kB signaling pathway via RELA is related to CD44 expression and consequently the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer. More studies about this relationship are recommended.
