PBK/TOPK inhibitor OTS964 resistance is mediated by ABCB1-dependent transport function in cancer: in vitro and in vivo study

Abstract excerpt

ABCB1 overexpression significantly desensitized both drug-selected and gene-transfected cells, which overexpress ABCB1, to OTS964 and that this drug resistance can be antagonized by verapamil, a known ABCB1 inhibitor. Consistently, a similar trend was observed in tumor-bearing mice. OTS964 stimulated ATPase activity of ABCB1 and upregulated expression levels of ABCB1, resulting in induced resistance to other...
