Can the state of cancer chemotherapy resistance be reverted by epigenetic therapy?
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transcriptome analysis shows that the chemotherapy innate resistance state of tumors is characterized by: poorly dividing tumor cells; an increased DNA repair; an increased drug efflux potential by ABC-transporters; and a dysfunctional ECM. Because chemotherapy resistance involves multiple genes, epigenetic-mediated changes could be the main force responsible of this phenotype. Our hypothesis deals...
