Cytoplasmic RRM1 activation as an acute response to gemcitabine treatment is involved in drug resistance of pancreatic cancer cells.

<h4>Background</h4>RRM1 is functionally associated with DNA replication and DNA damage repair. However, the biological activity of RRM1 in pancreatic cancer remains undetermined.<h4>Methods</h4>To determine relationships between RRM1 expression and the prognosis of pancreatic...
