Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of GnRH analog triptorelin in resensitizing cisplatin-resistant human ovarian canc- er cells and to discuss the related mechanism.Methods:Cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR-3/CDDP was established in vitro.MTT assay was used to assess the inhibitory effects of triptorelin,cisplatin alone or a combination of both on OVCAR-3/CDDP cells.Flow cytometry was employed to observe the expression changes in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)in different groups.Results:The drug restant index of OVCAR-3/CDDP cells was 13.42.The resensitizing fold of cisplatin combined with triptorelin was 3.80.The expression of EGFR had the most prominent decrease in OVCAR-3/CDDP cells in the combination group.Conclusion:Triptorelin can partially resensitize cisplatin-resistant OVCAR-3/CDDP cells,which might be related to the down-regulation of EGFR.
