PC3-PR but not PC3 cells are resistant with paclitaxel (PTX).
PTX-resistance of PC3-PR was not due to MDR1 and MRP1 overexpression.
PTX could not induce p21 and acetylated α tubulin expression of PC3-PR cells.
Cabazitaxel and HDAC inhibitor induced p21 and acetylated α-tubulin of PC3-PR.
Cabazitaxel and HDAC inhibitor equally suppressed PC3-PR cell growth.
