malfunction | acid ceramidase overexpression in HL-60 confers resistance to the acute myeloid leukemia chemotherapeutic drugs, cytarabine, mitoxantrone, and daunorubicin, and is linked to P-glycoprotein upregulation | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | acid ceramidase overexpression increased NF-kappaB activation whereas NF-kappaB inhibitors reduce P-glycoprotein levels, indicating that the NF-kappaB pathway contributes to acid ceramidase-mediated modulation of P-glycoprotein expression | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | acid ceramidase promotes drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia through NF-kappaB-dependent P-glycoprotein upregulation. Elevated acid ceramidase levels in acute myeloid leukemia contribute to blast survival. Important role for the enzyme in drug resistance as well as cell survival | Homo sapiens |
