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

METHODS A total of 151 resected samples of malignant tumors without preoperative treatment were taken from Anyang City Tumor Hospital. The congenital expression of their mdr 1 gene was detected with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) and was compared with each other. The positive incidence of mdr 1 gene in 46 samples of esophageal carcinoma was compared with their differentiated grades, TNM stages and macroscopic types, and the precautions and advantages of RT PCR were evaluated. RESULTS All the 151 samples were confirmed to be malignant histopathologically, including cancers of stomach and gastric cardia (n =51), esophagus ( n =46), colorectum ( n =16), breast ( n =15), thyroid ( n =10), lung ( n =9), uterine cervix ( n =24). The positive expression rate of their mdr 1 gene was 33 3%, 37%, 31 3%, 13 2%, 40%, 55%, and 0% respectively. All the 46 samples of esophageal carcinoma were pathologically confirmed to be squamous cell carcinoma. The total expression rate of their mdr 1 gene was 37% (17/46), 35% (6/17), 40% (8/20), and 33% (3/9) for differentiation grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ respectively. The expression rate of TNM classification was 33% (6/18), 40% (5/12) and 37% (6/16) in stage Ⅱa, Ⅱb and Ⅲ. The expression rate was 33% (3/9) in ulcerous type, 37% (3/8) in constrictive one, 33% (5/15) in fungoid one, and 40% (6/14) in medullary one. No statistically significant difference was found. CONCLUSION Compared with other methods, RT PCR is more simple, reliable and accurate in detecting mdr 1 gene expression in tissues of tumor. The overexpression of mdr 1 gene in these neoplasms suggested that cases should be handled differently for chemotherapy with rational use of drugs. Excision is the chief treatment for carcinoma of esophagus. The expression of mdr 1 gene in tissues of esophageal cancer is correlated with the parameters of tumor molecular biology which are independent of histopathological morphology.展开更多

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.展开更多

Our purposewas to detect the levels of P-gp expression in fresh untreated esophageal carcinomas, and to correlate these levels to current prognostic indicators of morphology.Methods: Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to investigate mdr-1 gene expression of 46 samples from untreated esophageal carcinoma, and compared the positive incidences among differentiated grades, TNM stages and macroscopic types.Results: All 46 samples were pathologically squamous cell carcinoma. The positive' incidences of mdr-1 gene expression were 37% (17/46) in whole group,35% (6/17), 40% (8/20), 33% (3/9), for Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲdifferentiated grades, respectively. The expression rates of 33% (6/18), 40% (5/12), and 37% (6/16), were found in Ⅱa, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ stage of TNM, respectively. In macroscopic type view, the positive incidence was 37%(3/8) in constrictive, 33% (5/15) in fungating, 40% (6/14)in marrowlike, 33% (319) in ulcerative type. There were no statistically significant differences among each category system of morphology.Conclusion: The result, high level expression of mdr-1 gene in untreated esophageal carcinoma, suggested the poor efficacy of chemotherapy for some esophageal carcinoma patients. And we should cautiously choose cases who will receive chemotherapy. Surgery is still the best treatment for carcinoma of esophagus. Besides, the data also revealed that the expression of mdr-1 gene in untreated esophageal cancer was independent of morphologic prognostic indexes, and that there were no correlation between mdr-1 gene expression and morphological indexes.展开更多

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.展开更多

The virus titer of the supernatants was 1.2×105 cfu/ml. We transfected the murine hematopietic cells collected from 5FU pretreated mice and they showed the ability to reconstitute the longterm hematopoiesis of preirradiated mice. After 4 months, both of bone marrow cells and peripheral blood cells of transplanted mice still contained mdr1 gene. We also transfered mdr1 gene into human bone marrow CD34+ cells selected by using magnetic cell sorting system. PCR analysis showed that transduced CD34+ cells maintained the mdr1 cDNA. A fraction of CFUGM originated from transfected CD34+ cells had the charactor of resistance to Taxol. It is indicated that mdr1 gene can be transduced into murine and human stem/proginitor cells through retroviral mediated gene transfer and it protects the transfected cells from cytotoxic drugs.展开更多

The cells transfected with MDRl-targeted chitosan/pshRNA plasmid nanoparticles were experimental cells and the cells transfected with chitosan/pGPU6/GFP/Neo no-load plasmid nanoparticles served as negative control cells. Morphological features of the nanoparticles were observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM). MDR1 mRNA expression was assessed by RT-PCR. Half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) ofpaclitaxel for A2780/TS cells was determined by MTT method. TEM showed that the nanoparticles were round-shaped, smooth in surface and the diameters varied from 80 to 120 nm. The MDR1 mRNA in the transfected cells was significantly decreased by 17.6%, 27.8% and 52.6% on the post-transfection day 2, 4 and 7 when compared with that in A2780/TS cells control (P〈0.05). MTT assay revealed that the relative reversal efficiency was increased over time and was 29.6%, 51.2% and 61.3% respectively in the transfected cells 2, 4, 7 days after transfection and IC_50 (0.197±0.003, 0.144±0.001, 0.120±0.004) were decreased with difference being significant when compared with that in A2780/TS (0.269±0.003) cells control (P〈0.05). It was concluded that chitosan/pshRNA plasmid nanoparticles targeting MDR1 can effectively reverse the paclitaxel resistance in A2780/TS cells in a time-dependent manner.展开更多

Methods: 151 resected samples, which are pathologically malignant and clinically untreated before operation, were obtained from Anyang Cancer Hospital. All of them were investigated with RT PCR for the expression of mdr 1 gene and correlated each other. Besides, we evaluated the advantages of RT PCR in this study. Results: The mdr 1 gene expression rate of these 151 samples, including cancers of stomach and gastric cardia (n=51), esophagus (n=46), colorectum (n=16), breast (n=15), thyroid (n=10), lung (n=9), uterine cervix (n=4), was 33.3%, 37%, 31.3%, 13.2%, 40%, 55%, 0%, respectively. Conclusion: Compared with other methods, RT PCR for studying mdr 1 gene expression had certain advantages in simplicity, reliability, and accuracy. Overexpression of mdr 1 gene in these neoplasms suggested that cases should be distinguished before treatment according to MDR of tumor and to choose effective drugs for individual cancer patient.展开更多
