To establish a stable H460 cell line with Nrf2 down-regulation to study the role of Nrf2 in Oxaliplatin resistance.
Nrf2 down-regulated H460 cell line was obtained by transfecting cells with pRS-hNrf2 and followed by screening for Nrf2 expression by Western blotting. The cell lines were further characterized by analysing cellular GSH levels and cytotoxicity to anti-cancer drugs with MTS.
Nrf2 down-regulated H460 cell lines were established successfully. Cellular GSH level reduced significantly in the H460-C9 and H460-C13 compared to control cells (P(C9)= 0.00249, P(C13)= 0.03944). Down-regulation of Nrf2 in H460 sensitized the anti-cancer effect of Oxaliplatin and Doxorubicin.
Nrf2 plays an important role in drug resistance. Down regulation of Nrf2 in H460 cell enhances cytotoxicity of Oxaliplatin.
建立Nrf2表达下调的稳定H460细胞系,以研究Nrf2在奥沙利铂耐药中的作用。
用pRS-hNrf2转染细胞,通过蛋白质免疫印迹法筛选Nrf2表达,从而获得Nrf2表达下调的H460细胞系。通过分析细胞内谷胱甘肽(GSH)水平以及用MTS法检测细胞对抗癌药物的细胞毒性,对细胞系进行进一步鉴定。
成功建立了Nrf2表达下调的H460细胞系。与对照细胞相比,H460-C9和H460-C13细胞内的GSH水平显著降低(P(C9)=0.00249,P(C13)=0.03944)。H460细胞中Nrf2的下调增强了奥沙利铂和阿霉素的抗癌效果。
Nrf2在耐药中起重要作用。H460细胞中Nrf2的下调增强了奥沙利铂的细胞毒性。
