While human malignant mesothelioma is extremely resistant to chemotherapy, its intrinsic resistance mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we used normal human mesothelial cells and 5 human mesothelioma cell lines not previously exposed to chemotherapeutic agents to demonstrate that the m
Glutathione (โฅ-glutamylcysteinyl glycine, GSH) is believed to be important in the acquisition of resistance to anti-cancer drugs such as cisplatin (CDDP) and doxorubicin (DOX). โฅ-Glutamylcysteine synthetase (โฅ-GCS) is a key enzyme for maintaining intracellular GSH levels; it is composed of a catalyt
