Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, we found that over expression of secreted REIC/DKK-3 protein induced Endoplasmic reticulum stress in cancer cell and reduced the anticancer agent resistance. In this study, we analyzed the anticancer agent resistance in genitourinary cancer, associated with the mechanism of P-glycoprotein including ABC transporter superfamily, and validated the effects of REIC/DKK-3 gene therapy as new therapeutic medication of anticancer agent resistance.
