Asparagine synthetase is a predictive biomarker of <scp>l</scp> -asparaginase activity in ovarian cancer cell lines
1 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
We recently used RNA interference to show that a negative correlation of L-asparaginase (L-ASP) chemotherapeutic activity with asparagine synthetase (ASNS) expression in the ovarian subset of the NCI-60 cell line panel is causal. To determine whether that relationship would be sustained in a larger, more diverse set of ovarian cell lines, we have now measured ASNS mRNA expression using microarrays and a...
