Objective To investigate the change of apoptosis and drug resistance after multiple thermotherapy On the HepG2 Cell. Methods After HepG2 cell were treaded by ten repeated cycles of exposure at 43 degree C for 80 minutes twice a day,the sensibility of HepG2 cell to Adfiamyein was analyzed by MTr assay.The apoptosis Was detected by kit,and the expression of Bcl-2 or Bax protein and mRNA were detected by immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR respective.Results The drug resistance to Adfiamycin Was gained by HepG2 cell after multiple thermotherapy.The rate of apoptosis was decreased,the expression of Bcl一2 protein and mRNA Was strengthened,and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax increased.Conclusions The resistance of heated HepG2 cell to chemotherapeutics Was related with the decreased rate of apoptosis,overexpression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA,and increased ratio of Bcl-2/Bax.

Objective To investigate the expression change of ghtathione S-transferase π(GSTπ)protein and mRNA in the HepG2 cell after multiple thermotherapy.Methods HepG2 cells were treaded by ten repeated cycles of exposure at 43 degree C for 80 minutes twice a day,the sensibility of HepG2 cell to Adriamycin was analyzed by MTr assay,and the expression of QSTπprotein and mRNA were detected by immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR.Results The drug resistance to Adriamycin was gained by HepG2 cells after multiple thermotherapy,and the expression of GSTπ protein and mRNA wag strengthened.Conclusions The resistance of heated HepG2 cells to chemotherapeutics was concerned with overexpression of GSTπ protein and mRNA.
