Title: Molecular alterations induced in drug-resistant cells Authors: ID Osmak, Maja (Author) Files: PDF - Presentation file, download (2,17 MB) MD5: 5E8EB6F3BDA79EC90229E36A359F71E4   Language: English Typology: 1.01 - Original Scientific Article Organization: OI - Institute of Oncology Abstract: The major obstacle to the ultimate success in cancer therapy is the ability oftumor cells to develop resistance to anticancer drugs. Several molecular mechanisms have been suggested to be involved in drugresistance: a) decrease in the intracellular drug accumulation (increased activity of membrane transporters such as P-glycoprotein or multidrug-resistance-associated protein), b) changes in intracellular detoxification system (increased concentrations of glutathione or metallothioneins, or increased activity of related enzymed), c) alteration in nuclear enzymes (enhanced DNA repair and/orbetter tolerance of DNA damage, decreased acitivty of topoisomerases), d) altered expression of oncogenes (inducing increased level of protective molecules in cells or the inhibition of apoptosis). Drug resistance is a multifactorial phenomenon. The complexity of molecular alterations in drug-resistant cells is and will stay the main problem for the successful treatment of cancer.
