Finally, studies comparing doxorubicin-sensitive vs. doxorubicin-resistant colon cancer cells demonstrate that hypoxia enhances the expression of Pgp (P-glycoprotein) and BCRP (breast cancer resistance protein)—and that the addition of APX3330 to doxorubicin under hypoxic conditions can attenuate HIF activity significantly, blocking the upregulation of Pgp and BCRP. Here, PGP is linked to colonic neoplasm.
