## Abstract MDR in human cancers is one of the major causes of failure of chemotherapy. A member of the superfamily of ABC transporters, BCRP, was demonstrated to confer an atypical MDR phenotype to tumor cells. To overcome the BCRPβmediated drug resistance, the fungal secondary metabolite TPSβA, a
Selection protocols were designed to determine whether non-cytotoxic chemomodifiers can influence the evolution of the drug-resistant phenotype. To this end, the human multiple myeloma cell line RPMl8226 (8226/S) was selected with either doxorubicin, verapamil or doxorubicin plus verapamil. Using th
Overexpression of drug efflux transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) enables cancer cells to develop resistance to multiple anticancer drugs. Functional inhibitors of P-gp have shown promising efficacy in early clinical trials, but their long-term safety is yet to be established. A novel approac
The SIN4 locus encodes a global transcriptional regulator of various yeast genes. In this report, we demonstrate that loss of function mutations in SIN4 create a multi-drug hypersensitive phenotype that is independent of PDR5 mediated resistance. Thus, double sin4, pdr5 mutants are more sensitive th
