1 Promoter methylation of RASSF1A modulates the effect of the microtubule-targeting agent docetaxel in breast cancer. Docetaxel Ras association domain family member 1 Homo sapiens
2 Therefore, the potential associations of RASSF1A hypermethylation and response to docetaxel-based chemotherapy were evaluated, and the underlying mechanism was studied. Docetaxel Ras association domain family member 1 Homo sapiens
3 Finally, in vitro studies showed that RASSF1A had cooperative activity in suppression of cancer cell growth and proliferation by enhancing docetaxel-induced cell cycle arrest. Docetaxel Ras association domain family member 1 Homo sapiens
4 Our results suggest that hypermethylated RASSF1A is an important modulating factor for the efficacy of docetaxel-based chemotherapy in breast cancer. Docetaxel Ras association domain family member 1 Homo sapiens
