Gemcitabine resistance of pancreatic cancer cells is mediated by IGF1R dependent upregulation of CD44 expression and isoform switching

Abstract Chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer cells may be caused by the expansion of inherently resistant cancer cells or by the adaptive plasticity of initially sensitive cancer cells. We investigated how CD44 isoforms switching contributed to gemcitabine resistance. Treating CD44 null/low single-...
