当PIDD水平在肺癌细胞人为增加时,它们对顺铂耐药性增强。
When PIDD levels are artificially increased in human lung cancer cells, they become more resistant to cisplatin.
现在,MIT癌症生物学家已经展现了耐药性是如何增加的,这项发现可能帮助研究员设计可以克服顺铂耐药性的新药。
Now, MIT cancer biologists have shown how that resistance arises, a finding that could help researchers design new drugs that overcome cisplatin resistance.
顺铂通常第一次给药时有效,它有一个主要的缺陷:肿瘤获得耐药性,而且重新开始生长。
While cisplatin is often effective when first given, it has a major drawback: Tumors can become resistant to the drug and start growing again.
