Overexpression of aldose reductase in liver cancers may contribute to drug resistance
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
We previously found that about 29% of human liver cancers overexpressed aldose reductase (AR) and about 54% of them overexpressed an AR-like gene called ARL-1 that has similar enzymatic activities to AR. Since these aldo-keto reductases can reduce a broad spectrum of substrates including cytotoxic aldehydes, we were interested to find out if these enzymes can contribute to the resistance of liver cancer...
