Abstract excerpt
Development of drug resistance is one of the major obstacles in cancer chemotherapy. The molecular mechanism leading to drug resistance is still not fully understood. A10A cells, a doxorubicin-resistant subline of human squamous cell carcinoma A431 cells, showed cross-resistance to methotrexate and also resistance to the drug-induced apoptosis. The cells also showed overexpression of a mutated form of p53,...
