Research Abstract

1.To investigate the molecules that regulate the acquisition of cisplatin resistance, we performed cDNA microarrays using two pairs of parental and cisplatin-resistant bladder cancer cell lines. We found a markedly reduced expression of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor typel (IP3R1), endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, in cisplatin-resistant cells. The suppression of IP3R1 expression using small interfering RNA in parental cells prevented apoptosis and resulted in decreased sensitivity to cisplatin. Contrarily, overexpression of IP3R1 in resistant cells induced apoptosis and increased sensitivity to cisplatin. These results suggest that cisplatin-induced downregulation of IP3R1 expression was closely associated with the acquisition of cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer cells.
2.Overexpression of the P-glycoprotein/multidrug resistance 1(MDR1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein(MRP) gene is associated with drug resistance to some chemotherapeutic agents including doxorubicin. We determined the expressions of MDR1,MRP1,MRP2,and MRP3 gene in bladder cancer before and after the treatment using doxorubicin and investigated the correlation between the expressions of these genes and drug responses to doxorubicin. We showed that the each level of MDR1,MRP1,MRP2,and MRP3 gene expression after the treatment using doxorubicin was higher than that of gene expression before the treatment. We also found the significant correlation of MDR1,MRP1,and MRP3 mRNA levels with resistance to doxorubicin. These data suggest that MDR1,MRP1,and MRP3 mRNA levels were correlated with the response to doxorubicin.
