汉防己甲素与5-溴汉防己甲素逆转耐药机制与降低MRP7表达水平有关(英文)

本研究的目的是探索汉防己甲素(Tet)与5-溴汉防己甲素(BrTet)逆转耐药的机制是否与调节多药耐药相关蛋白7(MRP7)表达水平有关。采用MTT法检测柔红霉素(DNR)对人白血病敏感细胞株K562与人白血病耐药细胞株K562/A02细胞增殖的抑制作用,计算半数抑制浓度(IC50)及耐药倍数。将细胞分组,加入BrTet、Tet,用实时PCR法检测细胞MRP7 mRNA表达,Western bolt法检测细胞MRP7蛋白和P-糖蛋白(P-gp)的表达,流式细胞术检测细胞内DNR蓄积。结果表明:K562/A02对DNR的耐药倍数为23.65倍。分别加入1μmol/L Tet与2.0μmol/L BrTet后,K562/A02细胞的MRP7 mRNA相对表达水平分别降低至2%和12%,MRP7蛋白表达降低了53.2%与83.7%,P-gp表达分别下调58.47%与52.20%;1.0μmol/L Tet与2.0μmol/L BrTet分别使K562/A02细胞内DNR提高了94.32%与271%。结论:BrTet与Tet均可逆转耐药,其逆转机制除了抑制P-gp的表达之外,还可能与抑制MRP7的表达,增加肿瘤细胞内抗肿瘤药物浓度有关。在相同摩尔浓度下,Tet与BrTet对MRP7表达的下调作用无显著性差异。

Mechanisms of tetrandrine and 5-bromotetrandrine in reversing multidrug resistance may relate to down-regulation of multidrug resistance associated protein 7 expression

Both tetrandrine (Tet) and 5-bromotetrandring (BrTet) can effectively reverse P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR). The structure of multidrug resistance associated protein 7 (MRP7) has its own specificity and difference compared with other members of the MRP family. This study was aimed to investigate whether Tet and BrTet can inhibit the expression level of MRP7 so as to further look into the mechanisms of the reversal effects of Tet and BrTet on MDR. The inhibitory effects of daunorubicin (DNR) used alone on the proliferation of K562 and K562/A02 cells were evaluated by MTT assay, the IC(50) of DNR and drug resistant folds were calculated. The mRNA level of MRP7 was tested by real-time PCR, and the protein levels of MRP7 and P-gp were tested by Western blot. The DNR accumulation was analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM). The results showed that the resistance of K562/A02 cells to DNR was 23.65-folds of that of K562 cells. After administration of 1 μmol/L Tet or 2 μmol/L BrTet, the mRNA level of MRP7 in the K562/A02 cells decreased to 2% and 12% respectively, and the protein level of MRP7 decreased by 53.2% and 83.7% respectively. The protein level of P-gp decreased by 58.47% and 52.20% in the 1 μmol/L Tet and 2 μmol/L BrTet groups. FCM detection showed that 1 μmol/L Tet and 2 μmol/L BrTet significantly increased the accumulation of DNR in K562/A02 cells by 94.32% and 271% respectively. It is concluded that Tet and BrTet both can reverse MDR in vitro. The mechanisms may be related to the inhibition of MRP7 overexpression and the increase of anticancer drug concentration in cells. At the same molar concentration, the effects of Tet and BrTet in inhibiting the protein level of MRP7 expression do not show significant difference.
