They were then transfected into a highly adriarnycin-resistant HepG2 hepatorna cell line （HepG2/ADM）. The RNAi effect on MDR was evaluated by real-time PCR, cell cytotoxicity assay and rhodarnine 123 （Rh123） efflux assy. RESULTS： The stably-transfected clones showed various degrees of reversal of MDR phenotype. Surprisingly, the MDR phenotype was completely reversed in two transfected clones. CONCLUSION： MDR can be reversed by the shRNAmediated MDRI suppression in HepG2/ADM cells, which provides a valuable clue to make multidrug-resistant hepatoma cells sensitive to anti-cancer drugs.展开更多

While chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections represent the leading risk factors worldwide, the spreading of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) justifies the increasing attention on their oncogenic mechanisms. This review discusses about the main pathogenic mechanisms implicated in occurrence of HCC in presence of viral and metabolic diseases. Additionally, it points to the importance of clinical surveillance for those patients considered at risk of HCC and highlights the strategical role of serum markers, such as alfa-fetoprotein (αFP) and Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or Antagonist II (PIVKA-II), which, in association to a strictly instrumental follow-up, contribute to the early detection of hepatic nodules with a better prognosis for affected patients.展开更多

Chemosenstivity of the cytotoxic drugs, OXA, cisplatin(CDDP), adriamycin(ADM), and 5-fuorouracil(5-FU), was determined in HepG2 and HepG2/OXA cells, by the Cell counting kit-8(CCK8) assay. Cell cycle distribution of HepG2 and HepG2/OXA cells was analyzed by Flow cytometry(FCM). The expression levels of several drug resistance-related proteins, such as P-glycoprotein(P-gp), multidrug resistant protein 1(MRP1), and excision repair-cross complementing 1(ERCC1) protein in the two cell lines were tested by the western blot assay.Results The IC50 of OXA in HepG2/OXA and HepG2 were 136.84 μmol/L and 23.86 μmol/L, respectively. The resistance index(RI) was 5.34. HepG2 was also demonstrated to be cross-resistant to other antitumor agents, such as 5-FU, ADM, and CDDP. The percentage of HepG2/OXA cells in the S phase was significantly decreased compared to HepG2 cells(25.58% ± 2.36% vs 14.37% ± 2.54%, P < 0.05), while the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases showed no statistical difference(respectively 55.29% ± 4.98% vs 56.73% ± 4.56%, P > 0.05, and 24.63% ± 4.81% vs 28.26% ± 3.82%, P > 0.05). The ERCC1 was found to be over expressed in HepG2/OXA cells, while there was no difference in the expressions of P-gp and MRP1 between the multiple drug resistance(MDR) phenotype cell line and its parental cell line.Conclusion HepG2/OXA showed an MDR ability; the over expression of ERCC1 might be associated with the platinum resistance of the cells, but P-gp and MRP1 are not.展开更多
