De-differentiation confers multidrug resistance via noncanonical PERK-Nrf2 signaling.
Malignant carcinomas that recur following therapy are typically de-differentiated and multidrug resistant (MDR). De-differentiated cancer cells acquire MDR by up-regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzymes and drug efflux pumps, but how these genes are up-regulated in response to de-...
