The efficacy of anticancer therapy is limited by the development of drug resistance. While the role of p53 in the intrinsic sensitivity of human cancer cells to paclitaxel (PTX) remains controversial, its role in acquired paclitaxel resistance has never been addressed. In this study we examined the p53 status of three paclitaxel selected human ovarian carcinoma sublines, resistant to paclitaxel due to acquired...
