Epigenetic Determinants of Resistance to Etoposide Regulation of Bcl-xL and Bax by Tumor Microenvironmental Factors
5 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic factors (i.e., alterations of gene activity not involving mutations), as well as genetic changes in surviving cancer cells, may play an important role in drug resistance following cancer chemotherapy-a common cause of tumor relapse. Bcl-2 family proteins are central to the regulation of apoptotic cell death and modulate drug sensitivity. We investigated how survival signals in the cellular...
