| Abstract | Trastuzumab is by far the drug of choice for treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) overexpressing breast cancer patients. However, frequently, the therapy remains ineffective due to the induced drug resistance. In spite of various reported mechanisms, we hypothesize that the acquired resistance to trastuzumab might be attributed to the failure of the drug to activate phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) mainly due to the high level of reduced thioredoxin-1 protein among the resistant cells. In the present study, the effect(s) of PX-12, a Trx-1 inhibitor, was examined on proliferation of breast cancer cells which are unresponsive to trastuzumab. Treatment of the cells with PX-12 (5 μM) and trastuzumab (10 μg/ml) reduced cells viabilities, p-Akt, and Bcl2 levels while increasing the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and p-JNK with consequent higher levels of G1 arrest and apoptosis among the resistant cells compared to parental trastuzumab sensitive cells. The most significant observation was that PX-12/trastuzumab co-treatment enhanced the cell membrane localization of PTEN which is believed to be the active biological form of the signal. Our data confirmed that Trx-1 inhibition is required for chemosensitization of resistant breast cancer cells to anti-Her2 therapy, and this approach might offer an alternative clinical strategy for preventing acquired resistance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
