BRCA2-Deficient Sarcomatoid Mammary Tumors Exhibit Multidrug Resistance
16 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Pan- or multidrug resistance is a central problem in clinical oncology. Here, we use a genetically engineered mouse model of BRCA2-associated hereditary breast cancer to study drug resistance to several types of chemotherapy and PARP inhibition. We found that multidrug resistance was strongly associated with an EMT-like sarcomatoid phenotype and high expression of the Abcb1b gene, which encodes the drug efflux...
