Dihydromyricetin (DMY), a dihydroflavonol compound with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor effects, is able to reverse MDR in adriamycin-dependent MD-resistant breast cancer and leukemia cell lines and in a nude mice model, and to increase adriamycin cytotoxicity, by decreasing sorcin expression (both mRNA and protein), and consequently ABCB1 levels, via ERK/Akt pathways [24,75]. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is breast cancer.
