ABSTRACT
Objective Multidrug-resistance (MDR) is considered to be the major obstacle for cancer chemotherapy.In order to study tumor MDR in vitro, we designed this study to establish human multidrug-resistant Bladder cancer pumc-91/ADM cell line and investigate its biological characteristics. Methods MDR cell line (Pumc-91/ADM) was induced by wise selection on exposure to increasing dose of Adriamycin (ADM).Cell growth was measured and multidrug resistance to multi-anticancer agents was evaluated by MTT Assay.Flow cytometry was performed to determine cell cycle and the ADM concentration of cell line. The expression of MDR-related genes were determined with reverse polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Compared to Pumc-91, the Pumc-91/ADM cell had a prolonged doubling time. The number of cells in S-phase was decreased in Pumc-91/ADM while those in G1 and G2 phase increased. The Pumc-91/ADM cell was 10 times more resistant to ADM than the Pumc-91 parent. The Pumc-91/ADM cell exhibited cross-resistance to methotrexate, vincristine, cisplatin, epirubicin. RT-PCR showed that mRNA expression of GST was significantly increased in Pumc-91/ADM. Conclusion Pumc-91/ADM is human multidrug-resistant, and it offers a model with MDR phenotype for the study of MDR in human bladder cancer.
ABSTRACT
0.05). Conclusion After heated, the physical stability of UAE and UAS is reduced, the viscosity become lower, ADM releasing rate is fell. The heated Lipiodol-Adriamycin pharmaceutics had advantage in the interventional embolization chemotherapy of the neoplasm.
