Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Most patients with ovarian cancer receive paclitaxel chemotherapy, but less than half respond. Pre-treatment microtubule stability correlates with paclitaxel response in ovarian cancer cell lines. Microtubule stability can be increased by depletion of individual kinases. As microtubule stability can be regulated by phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), we reasoned that depletion of...
