粉防己碱逆转大肠癌耐药细胞株LOVO/5-Fu多药耐药性的实验研究

目的 探讨粉防己碱(tetrandrine,Tet)逆转人大肠癌多药耐药细胞LOVO/5-Fu的多药耐药性(multidrug resistance,MDR)及其机制.方法 Tet作用于LOVO/5-Fu细胞48 h后,用噻唑蓝法检测LOVO/5-Fu细胞耐药性,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡、周期变化及其p-糖蛋白(P-glycoprotein,P-gp)的表达水平,实时荧光定量PCR检测各组细胞MDR1 mRNA表达水平,Western blot检测各组细胞P-gp蛋白的表达水平.结果 经过Tet作用48 h后,大肠癌LOVO/5-Fu细胞株的IC50降低为(4.15±0.31)μg/ml(P＜0.05),细胞凋亡率增加为(3.44%±0.28%)(P＜0.05),MDR1 mRNA转录水平降低为(570 ±85)(P＜0.05),P-gp的表达水平下降.结论 Tet能逆转大肠癌多药耐药细胞LOVO/5-Fu的MDR,其机制可能是抑制MDR1基因的表达,使P-gp的表达降低,从而增强了LOVO/5-Fu细胞对5-Fu的敏感性.

Abstract：

Objective To explore the reversal effect on MDR1 gene-mediated multidrug resistance in human colon carcinoma LOVO/5-Fu cells by tetrandrine ( Tet) and to clarify its molecular mechanism.Methods LOVO/5-Fu cells were treated for 48 h with Tet.Drug sensitivity was measured by MTT.The cell cycle, apoptosis of cells and expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) were determined by flow cytometry assay.Expression of MDR1 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative PCR (real-time PCR).P-gp expression was detected by Western blot.Results After LOVO/5-Fu cells were treated for 48 h with Tet, the IC50 of 5-Fu decreased to ( 4.15 ± 0.31 ) μg/ml ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ; and the apoptotic rate increased to (3.44% ± 0.28% ) ( P ＜ 0.05) ; the expression of MDR1 mRNA reduced to (570 ± 85) (P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Tetrandrine reverses MDR1 gene-mediated multidrug resistance in human colon carcinoma LOVO/5-Fu cells possibly by inhibiting the expression of MDR1, decreasing the expression of P-gp, thus enhancing the sensitivity of LOVO/5-Fu cells to 5-fluorouracil.
