Hypomethylation Status of CpG Sites at the Promoter Region and Overexpression of the Human MDR1 Gene in Acute Myeloid Leukemias
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Selection of human cells for resistance to vincristine or doxorubicin often induces overexpression of the multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1), which encodes the cell surface P-glycoprotein, as a result of gene amplification or transcriptional activation. Moreover, overexpression of the MDR1 gene has been shown to be associated closely with clinical outcome in various hematological malignancies, including acute...
