Inhibition of apoptosis by downregulation of hBex1, a novel mechanism, contributes to the chemoresistance of Bcr/Abl+ leukemic cells
12 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of multidrug resistance proteins (Mdrs) and enhanced antiapoptotic capability are two of the main mechanisms by which Bcr/Abl(+) chronic myeloid leukemia cells acquire drug resistance; however, it has been shown that Mdr-1 expression provides minimal protection against cell apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic drugs. The mechanism by which cells acquire an enhanced antiapoptosis capacity in the...
