Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The testing of anticancer compounds in vitro is usually performed in hyperglycaemic cell cultures, although many tumours and their in vivo microenvironments are hypoglycaemic. Here, we have assessed, in cultures of tumour cells, the effects of reduced glucose levels on resistance to anticancer drugs and investigated the underlying cellular mechanisms. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: PIK3CA mutant...
