The mTORC2 Component Rictor Contributes to Cisplatin Resistance in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells
23 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to cisplatin-based therapy is a major cause of treatment failure in human ovarian cancer. A better understanding of the mechanisms of cisplatin resistance will offer new insights for novel therapeutic strategies for this deadly disease. Akt and p53 are determinants of cisplatin sensitivity. Rictor is a component of mTOR protein kinase complex 2, which is required for Akt phosphorylation (Ser473) and...
