mRNA Expression of BRCA1, PIAS1, and PIAS4 and Survival After Second-line Docetaxel in Advanced Gastric Cancer
23 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) has a central role in chemotherapy-induced DNA damage response. The protein inhibitor of activated STAT (PIAS) family of proteins, PIAS1 and PIAS4, are also necessary for adequate DNA damage repair. To further understand the role of BRCA1 in DNA repair, we examined the mRNA expression of these genes in 133 advanced (stage III-IV) gastric cancer patients using...
