Wada et al. reported the decrease in expression of thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and an increase in expression of orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) after co-treatment with docetaxel plus FU compared to 5-FU alone in gastric cancer cell lines [9]. The gene discussed is UMPS; the disease is gastric cancer.
