•Combined therapy with DHA and cisplatin exerts synergistic anti-NSCLC activity through activating ROS-mediated ER stress, JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways both in vitro and vivo.•PTGS1 is identified as a potential novel target of DHA. Knockdown of PTGS1 enhanced DHA-induced cell death in NSCLC c...
