1 Doxorubicin treatment was found to augment the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein fibulin-1 in cultured human breast cancer cell lines and in MDA-MB-361 tumors grown in athymic mice. Doxorubicin fibulin 1 Homo sapiens
2 Doxorubicin was also found to augment tumor expression of the fibulin-1-binding proteins fibronectin and laminin-1. Doxorubicin fibulin 1 Homo sapiens
3 Growth of breast cancer cell lines on Matrigel, an ECM extract containing fibulin-1 and laminin-1, resulted in lower levels of doxorubicin-induced apoptosis as compared with controls. Doxorubicin fibulin 1 Homo sapiens
4 Monoclonal antibodies against fibulin-1 reversed Matrigel-dependent doxorubicin resistance. Doxorubicin fibulin 1 Homo sapiens
5 Furthermore, small interfering RNA-mediated suppression of fibulin-1 expression in breast cancer cells resulted in a 10-fold increase in doxorubicin sensitivity as compared with control cells. Doxorubicin fibulin 1 Homo sapiens
