鼠尾草酸逆转K562/A02细胞多药耐药的机制研究

Objective To investigate the effects of carnosic acid(CA)on reversal of the muhidrug resistance(MDR)of human leukemia cell line K562/A02 and its mechanism.Methods MTT assay was used to determine the sensitivity of K562/A02 cells to adriamycin(ADM)pre-and post-treated with CA.Flow cytometry(FCM)and laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM)were used to measure intracellular fluorescence intensity and concentration of ADM respectively.The expression level of mdr1 was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.P-glycoprotein(P-gp)expression was detected by FCM and Western blot.Resuits CA decreased,IC50 of ADM in K562/A02 cells from 16.31 μg/mL to 1.35μg/mL,being a 12.08fold decrease.The intracellular ADM fluorescence intensity of K562/A02 was increased from 17.05 t0 60.53after treated with CA(P<0.01).In living K562/A02 ceils,after treated with CA,the diffuse distribution of intracellular ADM was recovered in both nuclear and cytoplasm,and the concentration of intracellular ADM increased from 4.93μg/mL to 15.43μg/mL.RT-PCR assay showed that CA inhibited the expressions of mdr1 mRNA in K562/A02 cells(P<0.01).Mean fluorescence intensity of P-gp detected by FCM in CA-treated K562/A02 was decreased to 22.80 as compared with that in untreated K562/A02 cells(44.40,P<0.05).Conclusion CA can reverse the MDR of K562/A02 cells in vitro.The mechanism may be associated with down-regulation of mdr1 and inhibition of P-gp function.
