Reversing Drug Resistance In Vivo
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Apoptotic defects occur in oncogenesis and contribute to drug resistance. We have shown that Bcl-2, Akt, and the translational regulator eIF4E cooperate with Myc during lymphomagenesis and are potent inducers of drug resistance. Interestingly, lymphomas expressing Akt, but not those expressing Bcl-2 are sensitized to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis by the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin, an effect that is countered by...
