Abstract excerpt
Cancer chemotherapeutic drugs exert cytotoxic effects by modulating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. However, whether ROS modulates the efficacy of targeted therapeutics remains poorly understood. Previously, we reported that upregulation of the anti-apoptotic protein, BCL-XL, by KRAS activating mutations was a potential target for KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Here, we...
