NQO1 and cancer: Over many years, studies of expression of detoxification enzymes in preneoplastic rat hepatocyte nodules, human tumours and drug-resistant cancer cell lines have provided compelling evidence that GSH, glutathione-biosynthetic enzymes, GSTs, UGTs, NQO1, EPHX1 and AKRs are frequently overexpressed in malignant cells and that this is often associated with resistance to chemotherapeutic agents [71,80,145,146,147,148,149].
