MET Increases the Sensitivity of Gefitinib-Resistant Cells to SN-38, an Active Metabolite of Irinotecan, by Up-Regulating the Topoisomerase I Activity

The increased sensitivity of PC-9/Met cells to SN-38 compared with that of PC-9 cells was partially because of topo I activities resulting from increased topo I mRNA and protein expression caused by MET signaling.
