Poor survival and treatment failure of patients with cancer are mainly due to therapy resistance. Tribbles homologue 2 (TRIB2) has recently been identified as a protein that promotes resistance to several anti-cancer drugs. In this study, RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were used to characterise the impact of TRIB2 on the expression of genes and develop pharmacological strategies to revert these TRIB2-mediated changes, thereby overcoming therapy resistance.
