Keap1 Mutations and Nrf2 Pathway Activation in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
15 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy develops in the majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Platinum compounds form electrophilic intermediates that mediate DNA cross-linking and induce double-strand DNA breaks. Because the cellular response to electrophilic xenobiotics is partly mediated by Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, we evaluated the presence of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)...
