Disease Information

General Information of the Disease (ID: DIS00091)

• Name: Uterine sarcoma
• ICD: ICD-11: 2C72

Type(s) of Resistant Mechanism of This Disease

  EADR: Epigenetic Alteration of DNA, RNA or Protein

  UAPP: Unusual Activation of Pro-survival Pathway

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Drug

Approved Drug(s) 1 drug(s) in total

Paclitaxel

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Epigenetic Alteration of DNA, RNA or Protein (EADR)

Key Molecule: hsa-mir-135a [1]

• Resistant Disease: Uterine sarcoma [ICD-11: 2C72.0]
• Resistant Drug: Paclitaxel
• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Up-regulation
• Experimental Note: Revealed Based on the Cell Line Data
• In Vitro Model: A549 cells; Lung; Homo sapiens (Human); CVCL_0023
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: qRT-PCR
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: MTT assay
• Mechanism Description: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha inhibitor (HIF1AN) is a protein that binds to HIF-1alpha and inhibits its transcriptional activity. HIF1AN is a potential miR-135a target listed in both the TargetScan and PicTar databases. miR-135a-mediated paclitaxel resistance is in part mediated by downregulation of APC.

Unusual Activation of Pro-survival Pathway (UAPP)

Key Molecule: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha inhibitor (HIF1AN) [1]

• Resistant Disease: Uterine sarcoma [ICD-11: 2C72.0]
• Resistant Drug: Paclitaxel
• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Down-regulation
• Experimental Note: Revealed Based on the Cell Line Data
• In Vitro Model: A549 cells; Lung; Homo sapiens (Human); CVCL_0023
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: Western blot analysis
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: MTT assay
• Mechanism Description: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha inhibitor (HIF1AN) is a protein that binds to HIF-1alpha and inhibits its transcriptional activity. HIF1AN is a potential miR-135a target listed in both the TargetScan and PicTar databases. miR-135a-mediated paclitaxel resistance is in part mediated by downregulation of APC.
