Novel Approaches for Chemosensitization of Breast Cancer Cells: The E1A Story

  • Chapter
Breast Cancer Chemosensitivity

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 608))

Abstract

The adenoviral E1A-mediated sensitization to a variety of anti-cancer drug-induced apoptosis is a well-established phenomenon on different types of cell systems. However, the mechanisms underlying E1A-mediated chemosensitization are still not fully understood. Recent studies demonstrate that E1A-mediated sensitization to drug-induced apoptosis can occur via multiple pathways; some of which depend on the expression of functional p53 and/or p19ARF proteins, while some are not. In human breast cancer cells with Her-2/neu overexpression, which usually are more resistance to anti-cancer drugs than cells without Her-2/neu overexpression, may be sensitized through E1A-mediated downregulation of Her-2/neu. Alternatively, E1A can induce sensitization to anticancer drugs in cancer cells or normal diploid fibroblast cells through upregulating the expression of caspase proenzymes, or downregulating the activity of a critical survival factor Akt and/or upregulating the activities of a pro-apoptotic kinase p38 and a protein phosphatase PP2A, etc. This review summarizes these progresses and proposes a plausible feed-forward model for E1A-mediated chemosensitization in human breast cancer cells.
