Abstract excerpt
To study the problem of acquired resistance to widely used anti-cancer drugs that target the 170 kDa topoisomerase IIalpha (topo IIalpha), a drug-resistant human small-cell lung cancer cell line, H209/VP, was selected in VP-16. H209/VP cells express reduced levels of the 170 kDa topo IIalpha that is localized normally in the nucleus and also express lower levels of a 160 kDa topo IIalpha-related protein that is...
