The SWI/SNF Chromatin-Remodeling Complex and Glucocorticoid Resistance in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
1 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoids are used in the curative treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Resistance to glucocorticoids is an important adverse prognostic factor in newly diagnosed ALL patients but its mechanism is unknown. Because SWI/SNF complex-mediated chromatin remodeling is required for glucocorticoid transcriptional activity in vitro, we investigated whether expression of subunits of the...
