No Correlation between the Expression of FXR and Genes Involved in Multidrug Resistance Phenotype of Primary Liver Tumors
23 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has been recently reported to enhance chemoresistance through bile acid-independent mechanisms. Thus, FXR transfection plus activation with GW4064 resulted in reduced sensitivity to cisplatin-induced toxicity. This is interesting because primary tumors of the liver, an organ where FXR is expressed, exhibit marked refractoriness to pharmacological treatment. Here we have determined...
