The Novel Bcl-2 Inhibitor ABT-737 Is More Effective in Hypoxia and Is Able to Reverse Hypoxia-Induced Drug Resistance in Neuroblastoma Cells

Abstract excerpt

Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor of childhood and advanced disease carries a poor prognosis despite intensive multimodality therapy. Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors because of poorly organized tumor-induced neovasculature. Hypoxia is associated with advanced stage and poor outcome in a range of tumor types, and leads to resistance to clinically relevant cytotoxic agents in neuroblastoma and other...
