AIM:To do cluster analysis on the herb active ingredients with reversal activity of multi-drug resistance in HL60/HT cells.METHODS:HL60/HT cell was used to check the inhibitory effect of Psoralen,psoralen-A,curcumin,quercetin,psoralidin,isopsoralidin,psoralen phenol,Rhein on cell proliferation by MTT assay.Flow cytometry was used to measure HL fluorescence index and the expression of P-glucose protein.On the basis of the experimental data,herbs were classified as different groups by cluster analysis.RESULTS:Reversion rate,HT concentration and P-gp expression of HL60/HT fell within the range of 6.2 to 12.5,9.6 to 25.6,and 29.3 to 50.1,respectively.CONCLUSION:According to cluster similarity,8 herbal ingredients could be divided into three groups,psoralen,curcumin and quercetin were in the first group.Psoralen-A,psoralidin,isopsoralidin and rhein were in the second group,psoralen phenol was in the third group.

Objective To research the reversal the effect on multidrug resistance (MDR) and the effect on Ca~(2+) concentration of HL60/HT cell by psoralen, and observe its possible mechanism. Methods The cytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic agents was determined by MTT assay, intracellular harringtonine (HT) content was assayed by HPLC, and intracellular Ca 2+ concentration in different periods and at different time points was detected by laser confocal microscope. Results Psoralen could reduce IC_ 50 value of HT to HL60/HT cells and increase HT content in cells in different degrees at the doses of 1-20 ?mol/L. Psoralen could influence Ca 2+ concentration with negative correlation at different time points (24, 48, and 96 h) at the doses of 1-20 ?mol/L, and influence Ca 2+ concentration with negative correlation at different times (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min) in the doses of 10 and 20 ?mol/L. Conclusion Psoralen can reverse MDR of HL60/HT cells, its reversal mechanism is associated with influence of intracellular Ca~(2+) concentration and the increase of intracellular accumulation of HT.

Objective To research the reversal effects of psoralen on multidrug resistant action and its influence on intracellular Ca2+ concentration in MCF-7/ADR cells and to explore its possible mechanisms of reversing multidrug resistance (MDR). Methods The inhibitory effects of psoralen on the viability of MCF-7/ADR cells were determined with MTT assay, intracellular adriamycin (ADR) concentration was assayed with HPLC and the intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in different incubative duration were detected with confocal microscope. Results Psoralen from 1 to 20 μmol/L reduced the value of IC50 of ADR in MCF-7/ADR cells, enhanced accumulation of ADR and influenced Ca2+ concentration with a negative correlation in different duration (24 h, 48 h and 96 h). Conclusion Psoralen can reverse MDR in MCF-7/ADR cells and its mechanism may be related to the increase of the intracellular accumulation of ADR by enhancing the intracellular Ca2+ concentration.
