Overcoming multiple drug resistance mechanisms in medulloblastoma
INTRODUCTION Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant paediatric brain tumour. Recurrence and progression of disease occurs in 15-20% of standard risk and 30-40% of high risk patients. We analysed whether circumvention of chemoresistance pathways (drug export, DNA repair and apoptotic inhibition) can restore chemotherapeutic efficacy in a panel of MB cell lines. RESULTS We demonstrat...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms in multiple myeloma drug resistance.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is predominantly an incurable malignancy despite high-dose chemotherapy, autologous stem cell transplant and novel agents. MM is a genetically heterogeneous disease and the complexity increases as the disease progresses to a more aggressive stage. MM arises from a plasma cell, which produces and secretes non-functioning immunoglobulins. Most MM cells are sensitive to prote...
متن کاملOvercoming drug resistance in lung cancer.
Anticancer drugs have been explored by means of random screening and demonstrated to be active against not only hematologic malignancies but also some solid tumors. Recent progress in the field of molecular biology has identified many new molecular targets for anticancer drugs. In this review, for example, signal-transduction pathways, which are influenced by newer agents like the taxanes (pacl...
متن کاملCombating and overcoming drug resistance in cancer
While the majority of patients with cancer treated with chemotherapy initially respond to treatment, a sub-group of patients either do not respond or eventually stop responding to the therapy in a phenomenon known as tumor cell resistance. Evidence of many different mechanisms of resistance have been reported in the literature, and it remains a great challenge to delineate the pathways involved...
متن کاملMechanisms of Drug Resistance in Relapse and Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy that remains incurable because most patients eventually relapse or become refractory to current treatments. Although the treatments have improved, the major problem in MM is resistance to therapy. Clonal evolution of MM cells and bone marrow microenvironment changes contribute to drug resistance. Some mechanisms affect both MM cells and microe...
