The K562 cell line (chronic myeloid leukemia), sensitive to chemotherapy (non-MDR), and the Lucena cell line, resistant to chemotherapy (MDR) were investigated. The results suggest that both cell lines possess CD34+CD38- profiles of hematopoietic stem cell markers. The promoter regions of ABCB1, ABCG2 and ABCC1 genes contain binding sites for the Oct-4 transcripton factor, which is also considered a marker of tumor stem cells. Lucena cells showed an over-expression of the ABCB1 gene and a high expression of the Oct-4, ABCG2 and ABCC1 genes as compared to K562 cells.
我们研究了对化疗敏感(非多药耐药性,MDR)的 K562 细胞系(慢性髓性白血病)和对化疗耐药(多药耐药性,MDR)的 Lucena 细胞系。结果表明,这两种细胞系均具有造血干细胞标志物 CD34+CD38-的特征。ABCB1、ABCG2 和 ABCC1 基因的启动子区域包含结合转录因子 Oct-4 的结合位点,而 Oct-4 也被认为是肿瘤干细胞的标志物。与 K562 细胞相比,Lucena 细胞中 ABCB1 基因的过表达以及 Oct-4、ABCG2 和 ABCC1 基因的高表达更为明显。
