Abstract:Background: The addition of proteasome inhibitors bortezomib and carfilzomib to the multiple myeloma therapy has drastically improved the outcome of patients. However, drug resistance remains a major obstacle in proteasome inhibitor therapy. Several resistance mechanisms have been proposed in vitro, but have not been identified as contributing factors to proteasome inhibitor resistance observed in the clinic. Thus, we set out to investigate previously unexplored resistance mechanisms using BxPC3 pancreatic can… Show more
