Abstract: Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) plays an important role in the development of drug resistance in cancer, and GRP78 targeted therapy has become a hotspot of cancer research. In this article, we briefly introduce GRP78, review the research progress on the roles of GRP78 in drug resistance to cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted therapy, and the mechanisms of resistance. The progress on GRP78 targeted therapy for cancer is also summarized.

Key words: Glucose-regulated protein 78, Cancer, Drug resistance, Targeted therapy
