MDR1 Promoter Hypermethylation in MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells: Changes in Chromatin Structure Induced by Treatment with 5-Aza-Cytidine
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to the cytotoxic actions of antineoplastic drugs, whether intrinsic or acquired, remains a barrier to the establishment of curative chemotherapy regimens for advanced breast cancer. Over-expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by the MDR1 gene and known to mediate resistance to many antineoplastic drugs, may contribute to poor breast cancer treatment outcome. Nonetheless, the precise molecular...
