Abstract excerpt
There is evidence that RAD51 expression associates with resistance to commonly used chemotherapeutics. Our previous work demonstrated that inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) induced RAD51-dependent homologous recombination (HR), and depleting the RAD51 recombinase sensitized cells to TS inhibitors. In this study, the consequences of RAD51 over-expression were studied. Over-expression of wild-type RAD51...
