RNA Expression of Genes Involved in Cytarabine Metabolism and Transport Predicts Cytarabine Response in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
1 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variation in terms of outcome and toxic side effects of treatment exists among acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients on chemotherapy with cytarabine (Ara-C) and daunorubicin (Dnr). Candidate Ara-C metabolizing gene expression in primary AML cells is proposed to account for this variation. METHODS: Ex vivo Ara-C sensitivity was determined in primary AML samples using MTT assay. mRNA expression of...
