Abstract excerpt
Mutations or transcriptional silencing of mismatch repair genes have been linked with tumour cell resistance to O(6)-guanine methylating agents, 6-thioguanine, cisplatin, doxorubicin and etoposide. Recently, it has been demonstrated that overexpression of the MSH3 protein is associated with depletion of the mismatch binding factor MutSalpha, and then with a marked reduction in the efficiency of base/base mismatch...
