Inhibition of IGF‐IR increases chemosensitivity in human colorectal cancer cells through MRP‐2 promoter suppression
24 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells has made many of the currently available chemotherapeutic agents ineffective. However, the mechanism involved in mediating this effect is not yet fully understood. Here, we found the overexpression of type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) in established colorectal MDR cells. Specific siRNA of IGF-IR decreases cell proliferation, exert...
