Diagnostic Microdosing Approach to Study Gemcitabine Resistance [PDF]
Gemcitabine metabolites cause the termination of DNA replication and induction of apoptosis. We determined whether subtherapeutic "microdoses" of gemcitabine are incorporated into DNA at levels that correlate to drug cytotoxicity. A pair of nearly isogenic bladder cancer cell lines differing in resistance to several chemotherapy drugs were treated with

Objective: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant gastrointestinal cancer with a 5-year survival rate of only 9%. Of PDAC patients, 15%-20% are eligible for radical surgery.

DNA methylation-independent reversion of gemcitabine resistance by hydralazine in cervical cancer cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Down regulation of genes coding for nucleoside transporters and drug metabolism responsible for uptake and metabolic activation of the nucleoside gemcitabine is related with acquired tumor resistance against this agent.

Targeting ketone body metabolism in mitigating gemcitabine resistance. [PDF]
Chemotherapy is often combined with surgery for muscle invasive and nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (BCa). However, 70% of the patients recur within 5 years. Metabolic reprogramming is an emerging hallmark in cancer chemoresistance.

Gemcitabine is commonly used in the standard first-line treatment of urothelial carcinoma (UC); however, the emergence of drug resistance significantly limits its clinical benefit.

The Role of Dicer Phosphorylation in Gemcitabine Resistance of Pancreatic Cancer. [PDF]
Dicer, a cytoplasmic type III RNase, is essential for the maturation of microRNAs (miRNAs) and is implicated in cancer progression and chemoresistance. Our previous research demonstrated that phosphorylation of Dicer at S1016 alters miRNA maturation and glutamine metabolism, contributing to gemcitabine (GEM) resistance in pancreatic ductal ...

Ferroptosis Suppression by the M<sup>6</sup>A Reader IGF2BP1 Underlies Gemcitabine Resistance in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
IGF2BP1 promotes gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer by stabilizing m6A‐modified FTH1 transcripts and protecting them in stress granules, thereby suppressing ferroptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of IGF2BP1 disrupts this protective pathway, restores ferroptotic sensitivity, and enhances gemcitabine efficacy in resistant tumors.

Study of the Efficacy and Multidrug Resistance Using Gold Nanoparticles-Based Drug Delivery Versus Conventional Chemotherapy in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cell Line [PDF]
Background: Cisplatin is the main chemotherapy in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) combined with gemcitabine or other agents. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the anti-tumor efficacy and multidrug resistance of gold

Review of molecular mechanisms underlying gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer [PDF]
Pancreatic cancer is one the most malignant cancers in human. A great percentage of patients die annually due to lack of early detection as well as efficient treatment strategies. Only five-year survival rate is still only seen in 5% of patients.
