| Research Abstract |
1.Expression of anthracycline resistance-associated protein (ARA) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 6 (MRP6) RNA in hepatoma cell lines.
ARA and MRP6 were detected by RT-PCR and expressed by Northern blot analysis in HepG2, Huh7, PLC/PRF/5, HCC-T and HCC-M cell lines.
2.Increased expression of ARA and MRP6 by anti-cancer drugs.
HepG2, Huh7, PLC/PRF/5 were treated with 10ng/ml epirubicin for 7 days. ARA and MRP6 were not induced in these cell lines for 7 days.
3.Amplification of ARA and MRP6 gene in anti-cancer resistant hepatoma cell lines.
We established 100ng/ml epirubicin-resistant Huh7 cell line. Southern blot analysis indicated that both of ARA and MRP6 gene were amplified in this Huh7 cell line.
4.Modulation of anti-cancer drug resistance by xenobiotics excreted through MRP
Glycyrrhizin is known to be the MRP2 substrate. Glycyrrhizin enhanced anti-cancer effect of epirubicin when HepG2, Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5 were treated with epirubicin and glycyrrhizin.
