Abstract 2952: Generation and molecular profiling of drug-resistant cancer cell lines

Drug resistance is the main cause of ineffective chemotherapy in patients. Many cancers respond initially well to therapy but eventually the cancer recurs as drug-resistant disease leading to the patient death. Therefore, a better understanding of the molecular basis of the drug resistance is warran...

Description
Summary:Drug resistance is the main cause of ineffective chemotherapy in patients. Many cancers respond initially well to therapy but eventually the cancer recurs as drug-resistant disease leading to the patient death. Therefore, a better understanding of the molecular basis of the drug resistance is warranted in order to elucidate the mechanisms and markers underlying this drug-resistant phenotype In this study, we aimed to generate and characterize a panel of drug resistant cancer cell lines, providing a valuable tool with which to investigate the molecular pathways and putative markers that may be associated with this resistance phenotype in cancer.
