Cholesterol 31-42 nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 Homo sapiens 14-22 30526541-7 2018 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 27-38 nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 Homo sapiens 249-257 30526541-8 2018 Transfection of LXRalpha/beta siRNA inhibited cholesterol-induced chemoresistance and upregulation of MDR1. Cholesterol 46-57 nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 Homo sapiens 16-24 30526541-10 2018 Cholesterol depletion by methyl beta cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) inhibited malignant ascites-induced chemoresistance to CDDP and upregulation of MDR1 and LXRalpha/beta. Cholesterol 0-11 nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 Homo sapiens 149-157 30526541-12 2018 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.
