To investigate the expression of multidrug resistance gene ABCB1 and ABCG2 in FaDu cells (human hypopharyngeal carcinoma cell line) and the multidrug resistance (MDR) cell lines FaDu/T transformed from FaDu cells by taxol and underlying mechanisms of MDR.
The multidrug resistance sensitivities of FaDu and FaDu/T to cisplatin (DDP), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin (Dox), and vincristine (VCR) were examined by methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The mRNA and protein expressions of multidrug resistance genes ABCB1 and ABCG2 were analysed with RT-PCR, Western blot and laser confocal microscopy. JNK signal proteins were detected through Western blot.
The multidrug resistance of FaDu/T cells to Taxol, DDP, 5-FU, ADM and VCR was more than that of FaDu cells. The expression of ABCB1 in FaDu/T cells was significantly higher than that in FaDu cells (t = 22.42, P < 0.05), but the expression of ABCG2 in FaDu/T cells was significantly lower than that in FaDu cells (t = 10.06, P < 0.05). JNK signal was inhibited in FaDu or FaDu/T cells and the inhibited JNK was reactivated by taxol or anisomycin (an activator for MAPK signal transduction pathways). Anisomycin down-regulated the expression of ABCB1 (F = 33.72, P < 0.05) and up-regulated the expression of ABCG2 (F = 220.16, P < 0.05) in FaDu/T cells, but not in FaDu/T cells pretreated by JNK inhibitor SP600125 (P > 0.05).
The overexpression of ABCB1 and the down-regulation of ABCG2 in FaDu/T cells were the main features of MDR in hypopharyngeal carcinomas, in which JNK signal transduction pathways could play an important role.
研究多药耐药基因ABCB1和ABCG2在FaDu细胞(人下咽癌细胞系)及经紫杉醇诱导由FaDu细胞转化而来的多药耐药(MDR)细胞系FaDu/T中的表达情况及其多药耐药的潜在机制。
采用甲基噻唑基四氮唑蓝(MTT)法检测FaDu和FaDu/T对顺铂(DDP)、5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)、阿霉素(Dox)和长春新碱(VCR)的多药耐药敏感性。运用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)、蛋白质免疫印迹法(Western blot)和激光共聚焦显微镜分析多药耐药基因ABCB1和ABCG2的mRNA及蛋白表达。通过蛋白质免疫印迹法检测JNK信号蛋白。
FaDu/T细胞对紫杉醇、DDP、5-FU、阿霉素和VCR的多药耐药性高于FaDu细胞。FaDu/T细胞中ABCB1的表达显著高于FaDu细胞(t = 22.42,P < 0.05),但FaDu/T细胞中ABCG2的表达显著低于FaDu细胞(t = 10.06,P < 0.05)。FaDu或FaDu/T细胞中的JNK信号受到抑制,而紫杉醇或茴香霉素(一种丝裂原活化蛋白激酶信号转导通路激活剂)可使受抑制的JNK重新激活。茴香霉素下调FaDu/T细胞中ABCB1的表达(F = 33.72,P < 0.05)并上调ABCG2的表达(F = 220.16,P < 0.05),但在经JNK抑制剂SP600125预处理的FaDu/T细胞中无此作用(P > 0.05)。
FaDu/T细胞中ABCB1的过表达和ABCG2的下调是下咽癌多药耐药的主要特征,其中JNK信号转导通路可能起重要作用。
