Expression of Oncogenic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Family Kinases Induces Paclitaxel Resistance and Alters β-Tubulin Isotype Expression
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic transformation confers resistance to chemotherapy through a variety of mechanisms, including suppression of apoptosis, increased drug metabolism, and modification of target proteins. Oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor family members, including EGFRvIII and HER2, are expressed in a broad spectrum of human malignancies. Cell lines transfected with EGFRvIII and HER2 are more resistant to...
