Furthermore, literature data showed that UCP-2 is involved also in cancer resistance, especially in paclitaxel resistance of lung cancer, in topoisomerase I inhibitor CPT-11 resistance of colon cancer and in gemcitabine resistance of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma and bladder carcinoma [19]. The gene discussed is UCP2; the disease is lung cancer.
