Rapamycin Response in Tumorigenic and Non-Tumorigenic Hepatic Cell Lines
8 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mTOR inhibitor rapamycin has anti-tumor activity across a variety of human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. However, resistance to its growth inhibitory effects is common. We hypothesized that hepatic cell lines with varying rapamycin responsiveness would show common characteristics accounting for resistance to the drug. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We profiled a total of 13 cell...
