miR-192/miR-215 Influence 5-Fluorouracil Resistance through Cell Cycle-Mediated Mechanisms Complementary to Its Post-transcriptional Thymidilate Synthase Regulation
20 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Thymidylate synthase (TYMS) is a target of the most widely used chemotherapeutic agents against gastrointestinal malignancies, the fluoropyrimidine-based therapy. TYMS expression levels have been identified as predictive biomarkers for 5-fluoruracil (FU) response in colorectal cancer, but their clinical utility remains controversial. The complexity of fluoropyrimidine response must require more mechanisms that...
