Mismatch Repair Status and the Response of Human Cells to Cisplatin
15 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
The emergence of resistance to cisplatin is a serious drawback of cancer therapy. To help elucidate the molecular basis of this resistance, we examined matched ovarian cancer cell lines that differ in their DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status and the response to cisplatin. Checkpoint activation by cisplatin was identical in both lines. However, sensitive cells delayed S-phase transition, arrested at G(2)/M and died...
