To reverse the multidrug resistance (MDR) by RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated MDR1 suppression in hepatoma cells.
For reversing MDR by RNAi technology, two different short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were designed and constructed into pGenSil-1 plasmid, respectively. They were then transfected into a highly adriamycin-resistant HepG2 hepatoma cell line (HepG2/ADM). The RNAi effect on MDR was evaluated by real-time PCR, cell cytotoxicity assay and rhodamine 123 (Rh123) efflux assy.
The stably-transfected clones showed various degrees of reversal of MDR phenotype. Surprisingly, the MDR phenotype was completely reversed in two transfected clones.
MDR can be reversed by the shRNA-mediated MDRI suppression in HepG2/ADM cells, which provides a valuable clue to make multidrug-resistant hepatoma cells sensitive to anti-cancer drugs.
通过RNA干扰(RNAi)介导的多药耐药基因1(MDR1)抑制来逆转肝癌细胞中的多药耐药(MDR)。
为利用RNAi技术逆转多药耐药,设计了两种不同的短发夹RNA(shRNA),并分别构建到pGenSil-1质粒中。然后将它们转染到高度耐阿霉素的HepG2肝癌细胞系(HepG2/ADM)中。通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)、细胞毒性试验和罗丹明123(Rh123)外排试验评估RNAi对多药耐药的影响。
稳定转染的克隆显示出不同程度的多药耐药表型逆转。令人惊讶的是,在两个转染克隆中多药耐药表型完全逆转。
shRNA介导的MDR1抑制可逆转HepG2/ADM细胞中的多药耐药,这为使多药耐药肝癌细胞对抗癌药物敏感提供了有价值的线索。
