Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship of chemotherapy sensitivity and expression of multidrug resistance genes and apoptosis regulation genes in human breast cancer cell lines.Methods MTT assay was used to detect the sensitivity to adriamycin(ADM),cisplatinum(DDP),mitomycin C(MMC),fluorouracilum(5-Fu),carmustine(BCNU) in five breast cancer cell lines including Bcap37,MCF-7,T47D,MDA-MB-231and MDA-MB-435.Multidrug resistance genes including P-glycoprotein(P-GP),Glutsthione-s-transferases-?(GST-?),Lung resistance protein(LRP),multidrug resistance related protein(MRP),MGMT and apoptosis regulation genes FAS,BCL-2,P53 and P16 were examined by flow cytometry(FCM).Results The chemotherapy sensitivity was obviously divergent in different breast cancer cell lines.The correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between the sensitivity to 5-Fu in breast cancer cell lines and the expression of P16.There was no correlation among the sensitivity to other drugs and expression of other genes.Conclusions The sensitivity to 5-Fu is related to the expression of P16 in breast cancer cell lines.
