Expression of Multidrug Resistance Genes in Normal and Cancer Stem Cells
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
CD133 (stem marker) and drug resistant gene (mdr1 and bcl-2) expression were detected in human glioblastoma and normal brain tissues. Glioma tissues contained higher ratio of CD133+ cells compared to normal tissues ( approximately 10 fold increase). The chemosensitivity assay showed that GOS-3 and NHA CD133+ possess greater resistance towards drugs compared to CD133- fractions. This study revealed for the first...
