Targeting a Sirt5-Positive Subpopulation Overcomes Multidrug Resistance in Wild-Type Kras Colorectal Carcinomas
1 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
A major obstacle for successful management of patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is resistance to anti-cancer cytotoxic treatments. Here, we identified a mechanism of multidrug resistance in wild-type Kras CRCs based on the survival of a cell subpopulation characterized by Sirt5 expression. Sirt5+ cells in wild-type Kras CRCs are resistant to either chemotherapeutic agents or cetuximab and serve as a...
