title: [Mechanisms of drug resistance and reversal of the resistance].
abstract: The mechanisms for the resistance to anticancer agents have been vigorously studied and many factors that are involved in the resistance were found. Among the members of ABC transporter superfamily, P-glycoprotein, MRP1-5 and BCRP are involved in the drug resistance. LRP, identified as the major vault protein, is also related to drug resistance.
