Literature evidence These results not only provide insight into the potential application of SAA in reversing paclitaxel resistance, thus facilitating the sensitivity of breast cancer chemotherapy, but also highlight a potential role of transgelin 2 in the development of paclitaxel resistance in breast cancer.

Geographical availability China North-Central, China South-Central, China Southeast, Vietnam

Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein Transgelin 2, ABC transporter
Gene or Protein evidence Taken together, SAA can reverse paclitaxel resistance through suppressing transgelin 2 expression by mechanisms involving attenuation of PI3 K/Akt pathway activation and ABC transporter up-regulation.
Target pathways PI3 K/Akt pathway
IC50 NA
Potency The results demonstrated that SAA enhanced the sensitivity of MCF-7/PTX cells to paclitaxel by 2.9-, 5.0-, and 9.1- fold at concentrations of 3, 6, and 12 M, respectively. The RI value of 10 M verapamil was 10.2-fold.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7/PTX
Additional information  In addition, SAA effectively prevented transgelin 2 and adenosine-triphosphate binding cassette transporter (ABC transporter) including P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) up-regulation and exhibited inhibitory effect on PI3 K/Akt signaling pathway in MCF-7/PTX cells.
