Synergistic Effect of Hyperthermia and Neferine on Reverse Multidrug Resistance in Adriamycin-resistant SGC7901/ADM Gastric Cancer Cells

Multidrug resistance（MDR） plays a major obstacle to successful gastric cancer chemotherapy.The purpose of this study was to investigate the MDR reversal effect and mechanisms of hyperthermia in combination with neferine（Nef） in adriamycin（ADM） resistant human SGC7901/ADM gastric cancer cells.The MDR cells were heated at 42℃ and 45℃ for 30 min alone or combined with 10 μg/mL Nef.The cytotoxic effect of ADM was evaluated by MTT assay.Cellular plasma membrane lipid fluidity was detected by fluorescence polarization technique.Intracellular accumulation of ADM was monitored with high performance liquid chromatography.Mdr-1 mRNA,P-glycoprotein（P-gp）,γH2AX expression and γH2AX foci formation were determined by real-time PCR,Western blot and immunocytochemical staining respectively.It was found that different heating methods induced different cytotoxic effects.Water submerged hyperthermia had the strongest cytotoxicity of ADM and Nef combined with hyperthermia had a synergistic cytotoxicity of ADM in the MDR cells.The water submerged hyperthermia increased the cell membrane fluidity.Both water submerged hyperthermia and Nef increased the intracellular accumulation of ADM.The water submerged hyperthermia and Nef down-regulated the expression of mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp.The water submerged hyperthermia could damage DNA and increase the γH2AX expression of SGC7901/ADM cells.The higher temperature was,the worse effect was.Our results show that combined treatment of hyperthermia with Nef can synergistically reverse MDR in human SGC7901/ADM gastric cancer cells.

Reversing multidrug resistance by RNA interference through the suppression of MDR1 gene in human hepatoma cells

AIM： To reverse the multidrug resistance （MDR） by RNA interference （RNAi）-mediated MDRI suppression in heparoma cells.METHODS： For reversing MDR by RNAi technology, two different short hairpin RNAs （shRNAs） were designed and constructed into pGenSil-1 plasmid, respectively. 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.

Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene and multidrug resistance 1 gene to refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children

BACKGROUND： There are two hypotheses for the underlying cause of refractory epilepsy： ＂target＂ and ＂transport＂. Studies have shown that brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） is over-expressed in refractory epilepsy. Multidrug resistance 1 （MDR1） gene encodes for P-glycoprotein, the primary ATP-binding cassette transporter in the human body. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms of the MDR1 gene have been associated with refractory epilepsy. OBJECTIVE： To investigate the association between BDNF gene C270T polymorphism and MDR1 T-129C polymorphism with refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children through the use of polymerase chain reaction （PCR）-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A case-control, genetic association study was performed at the Central Laboratory, Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2005 to November 2007. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 84 cases of unrelated children with epilepsy, including 41 cases of refractory epilepsy and 43 cases of drug-responsive epilepsy, were enrolled. An additional 30 healthy, Chinese Han children, whose ages and gender matched the refractory epilepsy patients, were selected as normal controls. METHODS： Venous blood was collected and genomic DNA was extracted from the blood specimens. C270T polymorphism in BDNF gene and T-129C polymorphism in MDR1 gene were genotyped using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Association analysis using the Ftest and Chi-square test was statistically performed between C270T polymorphism in BDNF gene and T-129C polymorphism in MDR1 gene and refractory epilepsy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies of C270T polymorphism in BDNF gene and T-129C polymorphism in MDR1 gene. RESULTS： The distribution of CC, CT, and TT genotypes, as well as C and T allele frequencies, in the BDNF gene was not significantly different between the refractory epilepsy group, drug-responsive epilepsy group, or the normal control group （P 〉 0.05）. The distribution of TT genotype and T allele frequencies of the MDR1 gene was significantly different in the refractory epilepsy group compared with the drug-responsive epilepsy and normal control groups （P 〈 0.05）. Comparison of haplotype combinations demonstrated that there were no significant differences in combinations of TT＋CC, -FI-＋CT, TC＋CC, and TC＋CT among the three groups （P 〉 0.05）. CONCLUSION： C270T polymorphism of the BDNF gene was not associated with refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children, but T-129C polymorphism in the MDR1 gene was associated with refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children. The TT genotype and T allele frequencies could serve as susceptibility loci for refractory epilepsy. Interactions between C270T in BDNF gene and T-129C in MDR1 gene were not observed in refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children.

Differential expression of breast cancer-resistance protein,lung resistance protein,and multidrug resistance protein 1 in retinas of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice

AIM：To investigate the altering expression profiles of efflux transporters such as breast cancer-resistance protein（BCRP）,lung resistance protein（LRP）,and multidrug resistance protein 1（MDR1） at the inner blood-retinal barrier（BRB） during the development of early diabetic retinopathy（DR） and/or aging in mice.METHODS：Relative m RNA and protein expression profiles of these three efflux transporters in the retina during the development of early DR and/or aging in mice were examined.The differing expression profiles of Zonula occludens 1（ ZO-1） and vascular endothelial growth factor-A（ VEGFA） in the retina as well as the perfusion characterization of fluorescein isothiocyanate（FITC）-dextran and Evans blue were examined to evaluate the integrity of the inner BRB.RESULTS：There were significant alterations in these three efflux transporters＇ expression profiles in the m RNA and protein levels of the retina during the development of diabetes mellitus and/or aging.The development of early DR was confirmed by the expression profiles of ZO-1 and VEGFA in the retina as well as the compromised integrity of the inner BRB.CONCLUSION：The expression profiles of some efflux transporters such as BCRP,LRP,and MDR1 in mice retina during diabetic and/or aging conditions are tested,and the attenuated expression of BCRP,LRP,and MDR1 along with the breakdown of the inner BRB is found,which may be linked to the pathogenesis of early DR.

Roles of sulfonylurea receptor 1 and multidrug resistance protein 1 in modulating insulin secretion in human insulinoma

BACKGROUND:Sulfonylurea receptor 1(SUR1)and multidrug resistance protein 1(MRP1)are two prominent members of multidrug resistance proteins associated with insulin secretion. The aims of this study were to investigate their expression in insulinomas and their sole and synergistic effects in modulating abnormal insulin secretion. METHODS:Fasting glucose,insulin and C-peptide were measured in 11 insulinoma patients and 11 healthy controls. Prolonged oral glucose tolerance tests were performed in 6 insulinoma patients.Insulin content,SUR1 and MRP1 were detected in 11 insulinoma patients by immunohistochemistry. SUR1 and MRP1 were also detected in 6 insulinoma patients by immunofluorescence. RESULTS:Insulinoma patients presented the typical demons-trations of Whipple’s triad.Fasting glucose of each insulinoma patient was lower than 2.8 mmol/L,and simultaneous insulin and C-peptide were increased in insulinoma patients. Prolonged oral glucose tolerance tests showed that insulin secretion in insulinoma patients were also stimulated by high glucose.Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining showed that SUR1 increased,but MRP1 decreased in insulinoma compared with the adjacent islets. CONCLUSIONS:The hypersecretion of insulin in insulinomas might be,at least partially,due to the enrichment of SUR1. In contrast,MRP1,which is down-regulated in insulinomas, might reflect a negative feedback in insulin secretion.

Expression of multidrug resistance 1 gene and C3435T genetic polymorphism in peripheral blood of patients with intractable epilepsy

BACKGROUND： Increased expression of multidrug resistance 1 （MDR1） mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with intractable epilepsy is not due to epilepsy drugs, but epilepsy behavior. Monitoring MDR1 expression in peripheral blood is a target for MDR1 gene evaluation. OBJECTIVE： To investigate the influence of antiepileptic drugs and seizures on MDR expression in intractable epilepsy, and to analyze the genetic polymorphisms of C3435T in the MDRl gene. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： Factorial designs and comparative observations at the experimental center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Medical College, Qingdao University between October 2003 and October 2004. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 120 subjects were recruited from the epilepsy clinical department of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Medical College. Four groups （n = 30） were classified according to statistical factorial design： intractable epilepsy, treatment response, no treatment, and normal control groups. METHODS： One-step semi-quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction technology was used to test expressions of the MDR1 gene in 120 subjects. C3435T polymorphisms in intractable epilepsy group and normal control groups were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Expression of MDR1 mRNA in the four groups, and C3435T genetic polymorphisms in intractable epilepsy and normal control groups. RESULTS： MDRl gene expression was increased in the intractable epilepsy group, due to the factor seizures, but not the antiepileptic drugs. However, the interaction between the two factors was not statistically significant. Of the 30 subjects in the intractable epilepsy group, the following genotypes were exhibited： 3 （10%） C/C genotype, 9 （30%） C/T genotype, and 18 （60%） T/T genotype at the site of C3435T, while 4 （13%）, 10 （33%）, and 16 （53%） subjects were determined to express these genotypes in the normal control group, respectively. C and T allele frequency were 25% and 75% in the intractable epilepsy group, and 30% and 70% in the normal control group, respectively. However, there was no statistical difference between the groups. CONCLUSION： Results demonstrated that seizures, not antiepileptic drugs, induced MDR1 gene expression in intractable epilepsy. Genetic polymorphisms of C3435T in the MDR1 gene did not contribute to the development of multidrug resistance in patients with intractable epilepsy.

Detection and clinical significance of multidrug resistance-1 mRNA in bone marrow cells in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR

Objective： Multidrug resistance（MDR） is one of the most important reasons for treatment failure and recurrence of acute leukemia. Its manifestations are different in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia（ALL） which may be due to different detection methods. This study was to detect the expression of MDR1 mRNA in bone marrow cells of children with ALL by real-time fluorescence- quantitative reverse transcription polymerase-chain reaction（FQ-RT-PCR）, and combine minimal residual desease（MRD） detection by flow cytometry（FCM） and to study their relationship with treatment response and prognosis of ALL. Methods：The MDR1 mRNA levels in bone marrow cells from 67 children with ALL[28 had newly diagnosed disease, 27 had achieved complete remission（CR）, 12 recurrent] and 22 children without leukemia were detected by FQ-RT-PCR. MRD was detected by FCM. The patients were observed for 9-101 months, with a median of 64 months. Results：Standard curves of human MDR1 and GAPDH genes were constructed successfully. MDR1 mRNA was detected in all children with a positive rate of 100%. The mRNA level of MDR1 was similar among the newly diagnosed ALL group, CR group, and control group（P 〉 0.05）, but significantly higher in the recurrence group than that in newly diagnosed disease group and control group（0.50 ± 0.55 vs. 0.09 ± 0.26 and 0.12 ± 0.23, P〈 0.05）. 54 ALL patients were followed up, and it was found that MDR1 mRNA level was significantly higher in ALL patients within 3 years duration than that of ALL patients with 3-6 years and over 6 years duration（0.63 ± 0.56 vs. 0.11 ± 0.12 and 0.04 ± 0.06, P〈 0.01）. For the 28 children with newly diagnosed disease, the MDR1 mRNA level was similar between WBC 〉 50 ~ 109 group and WBC〈50 × 10^9 group（P〉 0.05）. In the 33 CR patients, the MDR1 mRNA level was significantly higher in MRD〉10a group than that in MRD〈10a group（0.39 ± 0.47 vs. 0.03 ± 0.03, P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion：The sensitivity and specificity of FQ-RT-PCR in detecting MDR1 mRNA in bone marrowy cells of children with ALL patients are high. MDR1 mRNA is expressed in children with and without leukemia. MDR1 mRNA is highly expressed in the CR ALL patients with high MRD, recurrence and short duration（within 3 years）. Monitoring MRD and the MDR1 mRNA level might be helpful for individual treatment.

Reversal Effect of BM-cyclin 1 on Multidrug Resistance by Down-regulating MRP2 in BALB/C Nude Mice Bearing C-A120 Cells

Our previous study demonstrated that BM-cyclin 1, a traditional anti-mycoplasma drug, could effectively reverse the multidrug resistance （MDR） of C-A120 cells. The present study aims to explore the reversal effect of BM-cyclin 1 on MDR and its mechanisms in BALB/C nude mice bearing C-A120 cells. Irnmunoblotting analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） were used to study the change in multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 （MRP2） induced by BM-cyclin 1. We found that the expression levels of MRP2 protein and mRNA in C-A120 cells treated with BM-cyclin 1 were reduced significantly. Chemical colorimetry revealed no significant change in the level of glutathione （GSH）. In the xenografl model, the inhibitory rate of C-A120 cells growth in BM-cyclin 1 plus adriamycin （ADM） group was 52%, which was significantly higher than in control group （P〈0.01）. The immunoblotting and RT-PCR results conclusively demonstrated that BM-cycin 1 could significantly reduce the expression of MRP2 in transplanted tumor. In conclusion, BM-cyclin 1 could effectively reverse the MDR of C-A 120 cells in vivo by suppressing the expression of MRP2.

Inhibition of apoptosis-regulatory protein Siva-1 reverses multidrug resistance in gastric cancer by targeting PCBP1

Introduction:Siva-1,as a pro-apoptotic protein,has been shown to induce extensive apoptosis in a number of different cell lines.In our previous study,we showed that overexpressed Siva-1 decreased the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells.So,we believe that it can also work as an anti-apoptotic protein.The present study aimed to determine the specific role of Siva-1 in anticancer drug resistance in gastric cancer in vivo and in vitro and preliminarily reveal the mechanism.Materials and Methods:A vincristine-resistant MKN-28/VCR gastric cancer cell line with stably downregulated Siva-1 was established.The effect of Siva-1 downregulation on chemotherapeutic drug resistance was assessed by measuring the IC50 and pump rate of doxorubicin.Proliferation,apoptosis of cells,and cell cycle were detected via colony formation assay andflow cytometry,respectively.Additionally,migration and invasion of cells was detected via wound healing and transwell assays.Moreover,we determined in vivo effects of LV-Siva-1-RNAi on tumor size,and apoptotic cells in tumor tissues were detected using TUNEL and hematoxylin and eosin staining.Results:Siva-1 downregulation reduced the pump rate of doxorubicin and enhanced the response to drug treatment.Siva-1 negatively regulated proliferation and promoted apoptosis of cells by potentiality G2-M phase arresting.Inhibition of Siva-1 expression in MKN-28/VCR cells significantly weakened wound healing ability and decreased invasion ability.Poly(C)-binding protein 1(PCBP1)was identified as a Siva-1-interacting protein in yeast two-hybrid screening.Semiquantitative RT-PCR and western blotting revealed that Siva-1 downregulation could inhibit expression of PCBP1,Akt,and NF-κB and eventually decrease the expression of MDR1 and MRP1.Conclusion:The current study demonstrated that the downregulation of Siva-1,which functions as a regulator of MDR1 and MRP1 gene expression in gastric cancer cells by inhibiting PCBP1/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway expression,enhanced the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to certain chemotherapies.

Role of Hypoxia-inducible Factor-1α in Formation of Muttidrug Resistance Induced by Microenvironment in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Objective： To explore the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） in formation of multidrug resistance （MDR） induced by microenvironment and to find a new and effective molecular target on preventing and reversing chemoresistance in hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. Methods： In HepG2 cells exposed to hypoxia, low glucose or transfected by plasmid pcDNA3/HBX, the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and protein was respectively detected using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Westernblot technique and its expression localization was investigated by immunocytochemical technique. Plasmid pcDNA3/HIF-1α was transfected into HepG2 cells and then the expression of multidrug resistance related genes mdrl, multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 （MRP1） and lung resistance protein （LRP） in transfected cells was determined by the same methods. Results： In HepG2 cells respectively exposed to hypoxia, low glucose or transfected by plasmid pcDNA3/HBX, HIF-1α was overexpressed at mRNA and protein levels to varying degrees and translocated into nucleus. The gene expression levels of mdrl, MRP1 and LRP in HepG2 cells transfected by plasmid pcDNA3/HIF-1α were respectively increased by 2.4±0.2, 2.2±0.3 and 2.3±0.4 folds as compared with those in non-transfected HepG2 cells （all P〈0.01） and similar changes were observed in protein level. Conclusion： Microenvironmental factors around HCC could modulate the transcription of the MDR related genes by nuclear transcript factor HIF-1α, thereby conferred MDR of HCC. Up-regulation of HIF-1α expression could hold a central position in the formation of MDR of HCC induced by microenvironment. HIF-1α probably becomes a new and effective molecular target on preventing and reversing MDR in HCC.

Plasmid mediated antibiotic resistance of Vibrio cholerae Ol biotype E1 Tor serotype Ogawa associated with an outbreak in Kolkata,India

Objective:To determine the antibiotic resistance of Vibrio choleras(V.cholerae) O1 biotype El Tor serotype Ogawa isolates involved in an outbreak of watery diarrhea in Kolkata,and to explore the role of plasmid in mediating antibiotic resistance.Methods:Antibiotic susceptibility and minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) values of antibiotics for the isolated V.cholerae 01 Ogawa(n=12) were determined by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods,respectively,using ampicillin(Am),chloramphenicol(C),trimethoprim(Tm),tetracycline(T).erythromycine(Er), nalidixic acid(Nx).ciprofloxacin(Cp),amikacin(Ak) and cefotaxime(Cf).Plasmid curing of multidrug resistant(MDR) V.cholerae 01 Ogawa strains was done following ethidium bromide treatment.Following electrophoresis,the plasmid DNAs,extracted from the isolated MDR V. cholerae O1 Ogawa strains and their cured derivatives,were visualized and documented in ’gel doc’ system.Results:The outbreak causing V.cholerae O1 Ogawa isolates were MDR as determined by disk diffusion susceptibility test,and MIC determination.The isolates showed three different drug resistance patterns:AmTmTErNx(for 6 isolates).TmTErCp(for 5 isolates), and AmTniNx(for one isolate),and showed uniform sensitivity to C,Ak and Cf.The loss of plasmids with the concomitant loss of resistance to Am,Tm,T and Er of the isolates occurred following ethidium bromide treatment.Conclusions:The current findings suggest that the V. cholerae O1 Ogawa associated with the cholera outbreak were MDR,and resistance to Am,Tm,T and Er among the isolates were plasmid mediated.

Reversal of Adriamycin Resistance of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Targeting with Recombined Adenovirus Caning Antisense mdr1 RNA

OBJECTIVE Chemotherapy is an important therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. However, it is not effective in many cases due to recurrence and metastasis even if the initial treatment produces a response. Multidrug resistance （MDR） is considered to be one of the considerable causes. The aim of this study was to reverse MDR of HepG2/ADM cells by blocking mdr1 with an adenovirus vector carrying antisense mdr1 in a tumor transplantated in athymic mice. METHODS PCMV IE was removed from the pshuttle vector. A 0.3 kb AFP promoter was inserted into the pshuttle vector and pCMV changed into pAFP. The pAFP and asmdr1 PCR products were doubly digested with Kpnl and Apal, the digested products were ligated by T4 ligase, the asmdr1 gene was inserted into pAFP and a newly plasmid pAFP-asmdr1 was constructed. Following digestion with PI-SceI/I-Ceu I, pAFP-asmdr1 was ligated with Adeno-X genome DNA and amplified in E.coli XL1-Blue. The HEK293 cells were transfected and virus collected. The HepG2 MDR cells （HepG2/ADM） were induced by graded resistance to ADM and were inoculated into athymic mice. After adeno-asmdr1 was injected, the expression of mdr1-mRNA and the volume of the transplantated tumor and its cells were observed. RESULTS Following injection with Adeno-asmdr1, the tumor volume in the ADM＋Adeno-asmdr1 group did not increase. However the tumor volume in the PBS plus ADM group did significantly increase （P〈0.05）. In the tumor xenograft cells, mdr1 mRNA in the xenografts was assessed by RT-PCR and was found to be reduced at 1 week and 4 weeks in the ADM＋asmdr1 group, but it was stable in the ADM group. It was only 20% in the ADM＋asmdr1 group compared to the ADM group at the 4th week （P〈0.05）. Evidence of apoptosis was observed in the tumor xenograft cells treated with Adeno-asmdr1, but there was rare or no apoptosis in the group treated with ADM and PBS. CONCLUSION Adenovirus carrying antisense mdr1 RNA can partially reverse the MDR of HepG2/ADM cells and inhibit tumor growth by down-regulating mdr1 mRNA resulting in tumor cell apoptosis.

多药耐药基因-1高表达可加剧类风湿关节炎患者对氨甲蝶呤的耐药

目的观察多药耐药基因-1(MDR1)在类风湿关节炎(RA)患者氨甲蝶呤(MTX)耐药中的作用。方法体外利用重组腺病毒Ad-EGFP-MDR1感染RA患者成纤维样滑膜细胞(FLS),获得MDR1过表达RA FLS。采用Real-time PCR和Western blot法检测MDR1过表达RA FLS中 MDR1基因转录水平及其编码产物P-糖蛋白(P-gp)的表达水平,罗丹明123外排实验验证MDR1过表达RA FLS外排罗丹明123功能,MTT法检测MDR1过表达RA FLS对MTX的耐药性。结果重组腺病毒Ad-EGFP-MDR1感染RA FLS 72 h后,MDR1过表达RA FLS细胞内颗粒增加,细胞体积变大,生长速度变慢。MDR1过表达组RA FLS中MDR1 mRNA表达水平(1.4325±0.3924比0.0650±0.0070;t=6.035, P=0.004)、 P-gp 蛋白表达水平(1.8667±0.2857比 0.9367±0.0551;t=5.536, P=0.005)和细胞外排罗丹明123能力(979.43±196.81比1680.06±147.04;t=-4.940, P=0.008)均明显高于阴性病毒对照组。MTX各个浓度下MDR1过表达RA FLS的存活率均显著增高( P 均<0.05)。结论MDR1基因高表达可通过上调P-gp蛋白的表达影响RA FLS对MTX的外排能力,从而增强RA FLS对MTX的耐药性。
