  • Mutation rates and mechanisms of resistance to etoposide determined from fluctuation analysis.

    Jaffrézou JP, Chen G, Durán GE, Kühl JS, Sikic BI. J Natl Cancer Inst. 1994; 86 (15): 1152-8

    The major known mechanisms of resistance to etoposide include altered expression of its target enzyme, topoisomerase II (Topo II), and the multidrug-resistant phenotypes encoded by the mdr1 and MRP (multidrug resistance-associated protein) genes. There is little information regarding the distribution, frequency, and origin of these mechanisms in cancer cells.
