Stress-adaptive mechanisms, such as stress granule (SG) formation, are increasingly recognized alternative pathways that facilitate cancer cell survival. Here, we identify the RNA-binding protein, family with sequence similarity 120A (FAM120A), as an SG-associated factor that drives cisplatin resistance in NSCLC. FAM120A expression was markedly elevated in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cell lines and clinical tumor specimens and was essential for SG formation and cell survival following cisplatin-induced stress. We found that the intrinsically disordered RNA-binding domain of FAM120A is essential for its incorporation into SGs and for its cytoprotective function. Using enhanced cross-linking immunoprecipitation sequencing data and RNA immunoprecipitation-qPCR, we identified the long noncoding RNA, metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 as a key FAM120A interacting partner. MALAT1 levels were reduced upon FAM120A depletion, and overexpression of MALAT1 was sufficient to restore cisplatin resistance in these cells. These findings suggest that MALAT1 is an RNA species that is stabilized by FAM120A and involved in the cellular response to chemotherapy. Targeting this regulatory mechanism may offer new therapeutic strategies to overcome cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jb\/mvaf074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,2]],"date-time":"2025-12-02T09:46:26Z","timestamp":1764668786000},"page":"127-135","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A stress granule-associated RNA-binding protein FAM120A drives cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"179","author":[{"given":"Shunsaku","family":"Hayai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Biology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]},{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miho M","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Biology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenta","family":"Iijima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Animal Facilities and Services, Institute of Photonics Medicine, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine , 1-20-1 Handayama, Higashi-ku, Hamamatsu, 431-3192 Shizuoka ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7797-6453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keiko","family":"Shinjo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Biology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshiteru","family":"Murofushi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Biology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-2184-6423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingqi","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Biology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatsunori","family":"Nishimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Biology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Makoto","family":"Ishii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yutaka","family":"Kondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Biology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine , 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-8550 ,","place":["Japan"]},{"name":"Institute for Glyco-core Research (iGCORE), Nagoya University , Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 464-8601 ,","place":["Japan"]},{"name":"Center for One Medicine Innovative Translational Research (COMIT), Nagoya University , Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 464-8601 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026020310572062500_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"425","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics11030425","article-title":"Serum extracellular vesicle-derived miRNAs in patients with non-small cell lung cancer-search for non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers","volume":"11","author":"Kryczka","year":"2021","journal-title":"Diagnostics (Basel)"},{"key":"2026020310572062500_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejphar.2014.07.025","article-title":"Cisplatin in cancer therapy: molecular mechanisms of action","volume":"740","author":"Dasari","year":"2014","journal-title":"Eur.
