RESUMO
Chemotherapy is one of the most important methods of cancer treatment.However,multidrug resistance (MDR) has been the main factors affecting their efficacies.Recent studies show that the amplification of MDR1 gene in tumor cells,the over expression of the related drug resistance protein and the cell cycle and apoptosis pathway in signal transduction are the main causes for the failure of chemotherapy.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?) and heparanase(HPA),and their relationship during hypoxia in human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3.Methods SKOV3 cells were incubated in different groups,immucytochemistry was applied to qualitatively assay HPA protein,Western-blot was used to detect the protein expression of HIF-1? and HPA,and mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR.Results The positive expression of HPA localized in cytoplasma.Western-blot analysis revealed that the protein expression of HIF-1? was significantly increased(P
