Abstract excerpt
Increased expression of MDR1 is strongly implicated in the appearance of chemotherapeutic drug resistance in cancer, especially hematological malignancies. We therefore examined the potential of antisense oligonucleotides to inhibit MDR1 and restore sensitivity to drug-resistant human lymphoblastic cells (CCRF-CEM). Treatment with two different phosphorothioate-modified antisense sequences as well as a DNA-RNA...
