A Systems Biology Approach Identifies SART1 as a Novel Determinant of Both 5-Fluorouracil and SN38 Drug Resistance in Colorectal Cancer
25 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Chemotherapy response rates for advanced colorectal cancer remain disappointingly low, primarily because of drug resistance, so there is an urgent need to improve current treatment strategies. To identify novel determinants of resistance to the clinically relevant drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and SN38 (the active metabolite of irinotecan), transcriptional profiling experiments were carried out on pretreatment...
