Expression of factors involved in regulation of DNA mismatch repair- and apoptosis pathways in ovarian cancer patients.
A major obstacle in treatment of ovarian cancer is intrinsic or acquired drug resistance causing failure of chemotherapy followed by a poor clinical outcome. Drug resistance of ovarian carcinoma can be caused by dysregulation of cellular factors involved in regulation of apoptosis and DNA repair pathways. In this study, 73 ovarian carcinoma specimens obtained before and after chemotherapy were ...
متن کاملThe role of DNA mismatch repair in platinum drug resistance.
Loss of DNA mismatch repair occurs in many types of tumors. The effect of the loss of DNA mismatch repair activity on sensitivity to cisplatin and a panel of analogues was tested using two pairs of cell lines proficient or deficient in this function. HCT116+ch2, a human colon cancer cell line deficient in hMLH1, was 2.1-fold resistant to cisplatin and 1.3-fold resistant to carboplatin when comp...
متن کاملDependence on RAD52 and RAD1 for anticancer drug resistance mediated by inactivation of mismatch repair genes
Mismatch repair (MMR) proteins repair mispaired DNA bases and have an important role in maintaining the integrity of the genome [1]. Loss of MMR has been correlated with resistance to a variety of DNA-damaging agents, including many anticancer drugs [2]. How loss of MMR leads to resistance is not understood, but is proposed to be due to loss of futile MMR activity and/or replication stalling [3...
متن کاملThe Impact of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway on DNA Repair Mechanisms in Human Cancer
Defined cellular mechanisms have evolved that recognize and repair DNA to protect the integrity of its structure and sequence when encountering assaults from endogenous and exogenous sources. There are five major DNA repair pathways: mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair, direct repair, base excision repair and DNA double strand break repair (including non-homologous end joining and homol...
متن کاملMismatch repair and response to DNA-damaging antitumour therapies.
Most antitumour therapies damage tumour cell DNA either directly or indirectly. DNA damage responses, and particularly DNA repair, influence the outcome of therapy. Because DNA repair normally excises lethal DNA lesions, it is intuitive that efficient repair will contribute to intrinsic drug resistance. Indeed, in certain circumstances reduced levels of DNA nucleotide excision repair are associ...
