What is the mechanism that causes paclitaxel resistance?

Dec 1，2023

The mechanisms for resistance to paclitaxel have also been extensively investigated, such as ABC transporter overexpression, altered signaling apoptotic gene expression to resist cell death, changes associated with microtubules to reduce influences drugs. Meanwhile, another important mechanism paclitaxel resistance has been proposed: increased nuclear lamina/envelope sturdiness to retard breaking nuclear envelop paclitaxel-induced multinucleation as well as formation multiple micronuclei.

Paclitaxel is a chemotherapeutic agent marketed under the brand name Taxol among others. Used as a treatment for various cancers, paclitaxel is a mitotic inhibitor that was first isolated in 1971 from the bark of the Pacific yew tree which contains endophytic fungi that synthesize paclitaxel. It is available as an intravenous solution for injection and the newer formulation contains albumin-bound paclitaxel marketed under the brand name Abraxane.
