Class III β-Tubulin Mediates Sensitivity to Chemotherapeutic Drugs in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
First line therapy for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) commonly includes combination therapy with a tubulin-binding agent (TBA) and a DNA-damaging agent. TBAs suppress microtubule dynamics by binding to the beta-tubulin subunit of alpha/beta-tubulin, inducing mitotic arrest and apoptosis. Up-regulation of class III beta-tubulin (betaIII-tubulin) has been implicated in clinical resistance in NSCLC, ovarian...
