Molecular mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance in breast cancer therapy
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. Chemotherapy is the main strategy in the treatment of this disease especially in the advanced form of the disease. Despite the recent progress in the development of new chemotherapy, the effectiveness of these drugs has dramatically reduced due to multidrug resistance. The phenotype of multidrug resistance (MDR) can occur through different me...
متن کاملRegulation of multidrug resistance by microRNAs in anti-cancer therapy
Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains a major clinical obstacle to successful cancer treatment. Although diverse mechanisms of MDR have been well elucidated, such as dysregulation of drugs transporters, defects of apoptosis and autophagy machinery, alterations of drug metabolism and drug targets, disrupti on of redox homeostasis, the exact mechanisms of MDR in a specific cancer patient and the cro...
متن کاملImaging of multidrug resistance in cancer
Primary intrinsic and/or acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) is the main obstacle to successful cancer treatment. Functional molecular imaging of MDR in cancer using single photon or positron emitters may be helpful to identify multidrug-resistant tumours and predict not only those patients who are resistant to treatment, with a clinically unfavourable prognosis, but also those who are suscepti...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antibiotic Resistance to Colistin in Nosocomial Infections with Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter
Background and Objective:Acinetobacter infection is one of the most common nosocomial infections that its antibiotic resistance has increased in recent years.This study aimed to evaluate drug resistance to colistin in nosocomial infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacterbaumannii. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was performed on 45 blood or body fluid culture samp...
متن کاملOvercoming Multidrug Resistance in Cancer Stem Cells
The principle mechanism of protection of stem cells is through the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. These transporters serve as the guardians of the stem cell population in the body. Unfortunately these very same ABC efflux pumps afford protection to cancer stem cells in tumors, shielding them from the adverse effects of chemotherapy. A number of strategies to circumvent t...
