P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a plasma membrane glycoprotein that confers multidrug resistance on cells by virtue of its ability to exclude cytotoxic drugs in an ATP-dependent manner. The most commonly considered hypothesis is that P-gp acts as an ATP-driven drug-export pump, the mechanism of which is no
The realization that chemotherapeutic agents induce apoptosis raises the concern that tumors resistant to chemotherapy are unable to initiate the apoptotic program. In the present study, we examined the apoptosis-resistance mechanism of a multidrug-resistant cell line, A549/CPT, which was establishe
