BACKGROUND/AIM: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anticancer drug commonly used to treat gastric cancer; however, continuous 5-FU chemotherapy causes drug resistance.
We established five sublines of 5-FU-resistant AGS gastric cancer cells to investigate changes that may have occurred in the development of 5-FU resistance. Drug resistance to other chemotherapeutic reagents, proliferation, cell-cycle changes, and wound healing ability were assessed for each subline.
Retarded cell growth, G/G phase arrest, up-regulation of p57, and down-regulation of cyclin D1 were commonly observed in all five sublines. Resistance to paclitaxel and cisplatin was also observed in most of the sublines.
Our data support the notion that G/G arrest due to changes in p57 and cyclin D1 expression may confer drug resistance, while EMT seems non-essential to 5-FU resistance in AGS gastric carcinoma cells.
背景/目的:5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)是一种常用于治疗胃癌的抗癌药物;然而,连续使用 5-FU 化疗会导致药物耐药性。
我们建立了五种耐 5-FU 的 AGS 胃癌细胞亚系,以研究在 5-FU 耐药性发展过程中可能发生的变化。评估了每个亚系对其他化疗试剂的耐药性、增殖、细胞周期变化和伤口愈合能力。
所有五种亚系均表现出细胞生长缓慢、G1/G0 期阻滞、p57 上调和 cyclin D1 下调。大多数亚系也表现出对紫杉醇和顺铂的耐药性。
我们的数据支持这样一种观点,即 p57 和 cyclin D1 表达的变化导致的 G1/G0 期阻滞可能赋予药物耐药性,而 EMT 对于 AGS 胃癌细胞中 5-FU 耐药性似乎并非必需。
