MicroRNA‐181a promotes docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer cells

Abstract

Docetaxel is one of the primary drugs used for treating castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Unfortunately, over time patients invariably develop resistance to docetaxel therapy and their disease will continue to progress. The mechanisms by which resistance develops are still incompletely understood. This study seeks to determine the involvement of miRNAs, specifically miR‐181a, in docetaxel resistance in CRPC.
