Direct Involvement of the Y-box Binding Protein YB-1 in Genotoxic Stress-induced Activation of the Human Multidrug Resistance 1 Gene
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
The human multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene encoding P-glycoprotein is often overexpressed in various human tumors after chemotherapy. During treatment with various chemotherapeutic agents, the MDR1 gene is activated at the transcriptional level and/or amplified, resulting in overexpression. Our previous studies demonstrated that an inverted CCAAT box (Y-box) might be a critical cis-regulatory element regulating...
