Targeting the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated b cells (NF-kb) pathway to overcome cisplatin-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer

(2019) Targeting the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated b cells (NF-kb) pathway to overcome cisplatin-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project contributed to a greater understanding of chemotherapy resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a prevalent issue to chemotherapy. The potential of the inflammatory transcription factor NF-ĸB as a therapeutic target was investigated to combat NSCLC chemo-resistance using in vitro and in vivo approaches. The activity of NF-ĸB was elucidated in models of chemo-resistant NSCLC and where specific inhibitors of NF-ĸB were used to block activity. In addition, a novel 3D model of chemo-resistance in NSCLC was generated which will serve as an important model in future studies.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
