Low cytosine triphosphate synthase 2 expression renders resistance to 5-fluorouracil in colorectal cancer
15 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Understanding the determinants of resistance of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) is of significant value to optimising administration of the drug, and introducing novel agents and treatment strategies. Here, the expression of 92 genes involved in 5FU transport, metabolism, co-factor (folate) metabolism and downstream effects was measured by real-time PCR low density arrays in 14 patient-derived colorectal cancer xenografts...
