背景与目的:研究昆布提取物(thallus laminariae PE,TLPE)在体外对耐药细胞B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)的逆转作用,深入探讨TLPE逆转肿瘤多药耐药的机制。材料与方法:MTT法检测昆布提取物对耐药细胞B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)的逆转作用,采用免疫细胞化学方法及流式细胞术检测P-gp蛋白表达的变化。用RT-PCR法检测TLPE作用前后B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)细胞中多药耐药基因(MDR1)的表达水平。结果:昆布提取物在体外对B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)有逆转作用,逆转倍数为4.65;免疫细胞化学方法显示,TLPE作用后,B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)细胞P-gp的表达降低;流式细胞术结果显示,TLPE处理后细胞的荧光表达量降低,且与TLPE浓度呈依赖性;RT-PCR结果表明,TLPE可以使B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)细胞的MDR1 mRNA表达减弱。结论:昆布提取物具有逆转B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)的作用,其逆转作用与降低P-gp的表达有关,具有临床应用前景。
BACKGROUND & AIM: To investigate the reversing effect of Chinese drug thallus laminariae PE on drug resistance B-MD-C1(ADR ^+/+) cell line, and to identify the mechanism of TLPE in reversing the multidrug resistance. MATERIALS AND METHOS: MTT assay was used to determine the reversing effect of TLPE and reversal fold; cytoimmunochemistry and flow cytometry were used to assess the expression of P-gp in the level of protein. RT-PCR was used to detect the level of MDR1 gene treated by TLPE. RESULTS: TLPE had reversing effect on B-MD-C1(ADR^+/+)in vitro and the reversal fold was 4.65. Cytoimmunochemistry showed that TLPE could decrease the expression of P-gp. Flow cytometry showed that TLPE could decrease the expression of P-gp with dose-dependence. RT-PCR suggested that TLPE could reduce the MDR1 gene of B-MD-C1(ADR ^+/+). CONCLUSION: TLPE could exert reversing effect in B-MD-C1 (ADR ^+ /+) by decreasing the expression of P-gp.
