Core Tip Gastric cancer (GC) is among the most prevalent and lethal malignancies globally and the molecular mechanisms of cadherin 6 (CDH6) in GC remain unclear. We verified that CDH6 is a key regulator in GC progression and oxaliplatin resistance. Mechanistically, CDH6 exerts its oncogenic effects by activating the transforming growth factor-β pathway and promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Targeting the CDH6/transforming growth factor-β/Smad axis may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome oxaliplatin resistance and improve clinical outcomes in GC patients.
