| 1 | RESULTS: Here we show that cholesterol is elevated in malignant ascites and modulates the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to CDDP and PAC by upregulating the expression of drug efflux pump proteins, ABCG2 and MDR1, together with upregulation of LXRalpha/beta, the cholesterol receptor. | Cholesterol | ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Cholesterol depletion by methyl beta cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) inhibited malignant ascites-induced chemoresistance to CDDP and upregulation of MDR1 and LXRalpha/beta. | Cholesterol | ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | CONCLUSIONS: High cholesterol in malignant ascites contributes to poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients, partly by contributing to multidrug resistance through upregulation of MDR1 via activation of LXRalpha/beta. | Cholesterol | ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 | Homo sapiens |
