Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)pathway on the transcriptional expression of mdr1 gene induced by doxorubicin ( DOX)and study the transcription regulation of mdr1 gene.Methods K562 cells were treated with DOX(0.01 μg/ml)with the initial concentration of 0.01 μg/ml for 24 hours,then change the culture media without DOX.K562 cells were cultured until the its status wag recovered.Subsequently the cells were treated with DOX(0.02μg/ml)for 24 hours again.The concentration of DOX was increaged until 0.05 μg/ml by following the protocol above.K562 cells were collected at the concentration of 0.01 μg/ml,0.03μg/ml and 0.05μS/ml DOX.Expression of mdr1 gene were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Pglycoprotein(P-gP)wag detected by flow cytometry.Western blot wag performed to detect ERK and P-ERk.K562 cells were pretreated with MAPK inhibitor PD98059 for 1 hour.and then DOX was added.RT-PCR and FCM were used to detect the expression of mdr1 mRNA and P-gp.Results When K562 cells were exposured to DOX.the phosphorylation of ERK wag increaged.the mdr1 gene wag highly expressed as well as its corresponding protein P-gp.When the concentration of DOX was 0.05μg/ml,the expression of mdr1 gene and P-gp were increased over 5 fold.When K562 cells were pretreated with MAPK inhibitor PD98059,the expression of mdr1 gene induced by DOX(the concentration was 0.03 μg/ml and 0.05 μg/m1)was effectively inhibited by(74.1±0.11)%and(70.2±0.14)%respectively.Conclusions DOX could induce the expression of mdr1 gene in K562 cells accompanied by the activation of MAPK/ERK pathway.The block of activation of ERK could inhibit the induced expression of mdr1 gene.
