Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is hypoxic and highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy. We sought to determine whether K-ras oncogene and/or hypoxia can induce expression of drug resistance-promoting adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in human PC cell lines. METHODS: Immortalized near-normal human pancreatic ductal epithelial(HPDE) cells, HPDE cells expressing K-rasG12V oncogene,...
