1 Alteration of MRP3, MRP4, hCNT1 and hCNT3 expression was observed in MUC4-KD cells, but only hCNT1 alteration was correlated to MUC4 expression and sensitivity to gemcitabine. gemcitabine solute carrier family 28 member 1 Homo sapiens
2 This work describes a new mechanism of PC cell resistance to gemcitabine, in which the MUC4 mucin negatively regulates the hCNT1 transporter expression via the NF-kappaB pathway. gemcitabine solute carrier family 28 member 1 Homo sapiens
3 Altogether, these data point out to MUC4 and hCNT1 as potential targets to ameliorate the response of pancreatic tumors to gemcitabine treatment. gemcitabine solute carrier family 28 member 1 Homo sapiens
