Abstract excerpt
Understanding the mechanism of resistance to tubulin-targeted anticancer drugs is important for improved chemotherapy. In this work, a colchicine-resistant MCF-7 cell line (MCF-7Col30) was generated by the gradual increment of colchicine treatment and the MCF-7Col30 showed ∼8-fold resistance towards colchicine. MCF-7Col30 cells showed ∼2.5-fold resistance against microtubule depolymerizing agents, vinblastine,...
