Abstract 763: Resistance to cabazitaxel is associated with ABCB1/P-glycoprotein activation, alterations in β-tubulin content and dynamics, reduced BRCA1, and a mesenchymal phenotype in MCF-7 human breast cancer variants
Abstract:In order to identify determinants of cellular response to this new taxane, we derived a resistant variant from the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line by stepwise selection in cabazitaxel. The 33-fold resistance to cabazitaxel in this variant, MCF-7/CTAX, was associated with ABCB1/P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activation, but also 3-fold residual resistance to taxanes after modulation with the P-gp inhibitor PSC-833, 2 μM. Another variant was established by co-selecting in the presence of PSC-833 (MCF-7/CTAX-P). This … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
