MIA - 602 also suppressed
efflux pump function in both cell lines.
In - vitro cell culture assays were used to analyze the effect of MIA - 602 on
efflux pump function.
Introduction: This study evaluated the effects of an antagonistic analog of growth hormone - releasing hormone, MIA - 602, on tumor growth, response to doxorubicin, expression of drug resistance genes, and
efflux pump function in human triple negative breast cancers.
: This study evaluated the effects of an antagonistic analog of growth hormone - releasing hormone, MIA - 602, on tumor growth, response to doxorubicin, expression of drug resistance genes, and
efflux pump function in human triple negative breast cancers.
Additionally, cells treated with MIA - 602 showed a significant increases in Calcein dye retention, indicating that
efflux pump function was reduced.
They plan to leverage a recently awarded Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) allocation from DOE to perform larger simulations on the Titan supercomputer to gain deeper understanding of how bacterial
efflux pumps function, identify more potent efflux pump inhibitors and optimize the best antibiotic - plus - inhibitor combinations to make them suitable for clinical trials.
