Involvement of N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase in resistance to temozolomide in patient-derived glioma cells

Abstract Chemotherapy for high-grade astrocytic tumors is mainly based on the use of temozolomide (TMZ), whose efficacy is limited by resistance mechanisms. Despite many investigations pointing to O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) as being responsible for tumor chemo-resistance, its expr...
