What role does vinblastine (VBL) play in cancer cell resistance?
Label:chem
Topic
Vinblastine (VBL) is a microtubule destabilizer used in cancer treatment. However, cancer cells can develop resistance to VBL, which is a major challenge in cancer therapy.
Answer
Vinblastine induces anticancer drug resistance in HeLa human cervical cancer cells by promoting primary cilium (PC) formation through NPHP3-mediated pathways. This resistance is associated with increased expression of NPHP3 and IFT88, as well as the apoptosis-antagonizing transcription factor (AATF).
