The human multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene encoding P-glycoprotein is often
overexpressed in various human tumors after chemotherapy. During treatment with various
chemotherapeutic agents, the MDR1 gene is activated at the transcriptional level and/or
amplified, resulting in overexpression. Our previous studies demonstrated that an inverted
CCAAT box (Y-box) might be a critical cis-regulatory element regulating UV or drug-induced
MDR1 gene expression. We have now established various cell lines from human head and …
