The effect of tetrandrine on the expression of the P170,LRP and TOPO Ⅱ in S180‘s tumor cell induced by chemotherapy in the mice with acquired multi-drug resistance
Abstract:Objective: To observe the effect of tetrandrine on the P170 production expressed by multi-drug resistance gene, lung resistant protein (LRP), and topoisomeras Ⅱ and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. Method: Cellular model of multi-drug resistance was established in S180 tumor cell by means of the scheme of PFC chemotherapy at the dosage lower than that with curative effect. P170, LRP and TOPO Ⅱ were measured by flow cytometry after the mouse model was treated with tetrandrine for 4 weeks. Result: tetrandrine obviously reduced the enhancement of express of P170, LRP and the activity of TOPOⅡin the tumor cells with multi-drug resistance induced by chemotherapy. Conclusion: Tetrandrine significantly inhibits the multi-drug resistance of tumor cells induced by chemotherapy via diminishing both the expression of multi-drug resistance gene and the activity of topoisomeras Ⅱ.
