Although microRNAs and EIF4G2 are both known to play pivotal roles in cancer progression, it remains unknown whether these pathways regulate chemosensitivity in a coordinated manner. Here, we show that miR‐379 expression is significantly downregulated in chemoresistant nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and cells. Manipulation of miR‐379 levels could alter the in vitro and in vivo cisplatin (CDDP) resistance in lung cancer (LCa) cells. Mechanistically, miR‐379 potentiated LCa chemosensitivity via modulation of CDDP‐induced apoptosis by directly targeting the EIF4G2 3′UTR. Additionally, we observed an inverse correlation between miR‐379 and EIF4G2 expression in LCa tissues from patients with CDDP‐based chemotherapy. Together, our findings shed new light on the potential involvement of miR‐379/EIF4G2 cascade in the pathogenesis of CDDP resistance in LCa.
