ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect and mechanism of Hedyotic diffusa injection in reversing multi-drug resistance of BEL-7402/5-FU cells.Methods The IC50 of BEL-7402/5-FU cells was examined by MTT,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and the content of tyrosine kinase in total protein of tumor cells was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The IC50 of Hedyotic diffusa injection (6 μL/mL ) combined with 5-FU (636.5 μmol/L)decreased significantly compared with that of 5-FU applied alone (1 071.6 6μmol/L). The reversal on BEL-7402/5-FU was 1.68-fold.After injection of 5-FU plus Hedyotic diffusa ,the apoptosis rate of BEL-7402/5-FU cells was increased significantly and the tyrosine kinases of BEL-7402/5-FU cells decreased significantly.Conclusion Hedyotic diffusa injection plays a certain role in reversing multi-drug resistance of BEL-7402/5-FU cells,which may be related to decreasing their tyrosine kinases.
