Abstract excerpt
Paclitaxel stabilizes microtubule polymerization, enhances microtubule assembly, and G2/M arrests, leading to cell death. Paclitaxel resistance has been attributed to a variety of mechanisms. In the present study, we define a new resistance mechanism to paclitaxel based on BRCA2 variation. Chemo-sensitivity to paclitaxel based on the variations was compared. Restoration of paclitaxel sensitivity was induced...
