Expression profile of etoposide-resistant MCF7 (MCF7VP) cells with targeted RUNX2 knockdown

ABSTRACT: The second leading cause of cancer death for women in the U.S. is breast cancer, moreover, a significant number of patients with breast tumors acquire resistance to drugs during therapy. To develop targeted therapeutic strategies to combat drug resistance it is essential to understand the basic molecular mechanisms through which cancer cells control sensitivity to chemotherapeutics. To identify new candidate genes and facilitate the discovery of novel drug resistance pathways, we have generated a resistance profile or M-bM-^@M-^XresistomeM-bM-^@M-^Y of etoposide resitant MCF7 breast cancer cells. Differential expression of over 5000 genes (fold change > 2, P value < 0.05) indicate that several drug resistance mechanisms may be operating in these cells, including up-regulation of ABC tran
