Abstract excerpt
1. Chemotherapeutic resistance to platinum-based anticancer drugs is a major obstacle in the successful treatment of lung cancer. Cellular uptake and platinum accumulation are considered the most important factors contributing to platinum resistance. The copper transporter family is the major plasma membrane transporter for platinum uptake. Copper transporter protein 1 (CTR1) plays an essential role in cisplatin...
