Chemoresistance leads to chemotherapy failure in patients with cancer. Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer is mainly caused by the high expression of P-glycoprotein encoded by the MDR1 gene, which is an ATP-dependent protease. Keeping the stronger invasion and migration abilities of chemoresistant cells in cancer also requires more ATP consumption. Herein, we aimed to reverse resistance by reducing the glucose supply in the cellular environment.
