Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistance in human cancer is associated with overexpression of the MDR1 gene, which encodes a plasma membrane energy-dependent efflux pump termed P-glycoprotein (or the multidrug transporter), which confers cross-resistance to multiple hydrophobic natural product cytotoxic drugs. We have previously shown in cotransfection experiments that activity of the human MDR1 gene promoter is modulated by Ras and...
