Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: One of the best characterized resistance mechanisms of leukemias is multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug-resistant related protein (MRP). In addition to Pgp and MRP, p53 mutation or inactivation might play a relevant role in therapeutic failure. Some studies have demonstrated that Pgp and MRP may be activated in association with overexpression of mutant or...
