Abstract

See full text

Described herein are methods for manipulating GEP and/or drug transporters (e.g., ABCB5 and/or ABCF1) on a cell, as well as related products. Also described herein are methods for treating cancer cells using GEP and/or drug transporter and/or their binding molecules and suppression thereof. Methods of cancer treatment targeting the GEP and/or drug transporters, alone or in combination with chemotherapy are also described herein. Also provided herein are sets of markers whose expression patterns can be used to differentiate clinical conditions, such as high or low levels of GEP and drug transporters. Based on the levels of GEP and drug transporters, the likelihood of cancer recurrences, drug sensitivity, and prognosis can be determined. Methods of classifying and treating patients based on the prognosis are also provided herein.
