Mechanisms of resistance type 6 (MOC-6) in colorectal cancer.

Factor Change Drugs Affected Consequences Reference
HIF-1α Upregulation 5-FU MDR1 upregulation; lower response to treatment [199]
Upregulation Bevacizumab Lower apoptosis in resistant cells in vitro [200]
HIF-1α, TGF-β High expression 5-FU, Oxaliplatin Increased GLI2 expression; lower drug effect in vitro [201]
IL-17A Increased production 5-FU, Oxaliplatin Reduced drug effect on CSCs [202]
Gut microbiota Fusobacterium nucleatum Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine Lower response to treatment [207]
Gammaproteobacteria Gemcitabine Drug inactivation; reduced efficacy in vivo [208]
UCA1 Upregulation Cetuximab Reduced drug efficacy in vitro and in patients [209]

5-FU: 5-fluorouracil; CSC: cancer stem cells.
