Down‐regulation of c‐fos by shRNA sensitizes adriamycin‐resistant MCF‐7/ADR cells to chemotherapeutic agents via P‐glycoprotein inhibition and apoptosis augmentation

Abstract excerpt

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major hurdle in the treatment of cancer. Research indicated that the main mechanisms of most cancers included so-called "pump" (P-glycoprotein, P-gp) and "non-pump" (apoptosis) resistance. Identification of novel signaling molecules associated with both P-gp and apoptosis will facilitate the development of more effective strategies to overcome MDR in tumor cells. Since the...
