Identification of multidrug resistance gene MDR1 associated microRNA of salvianolic acid A reversal in lung cancer / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

This paper was aimed to investigate the microRNA associated with multidrug resistance gene MDR1 of salvianolic acid A reversal in lung cance. Human lung cancer A549 cells were divided into normal control group and drug group, and the MDR1 expression levels were determined by real-time quantitative PCR. MicroRNA expression profiling of normal control group and drug group were detected by using the latest microRNA microarray. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate the differentially expressed miRNA. Forecast of miRNA associated with MDR1 multi-resistant genes of up-regulated miRNA. Experimental results showed that the dosage of MDR1 expression level significantly lowered compared with control group. The miRNA expression spectrum analyses of human lung cancer A549 cells to drug group and the control group were detected by microRNA microarray, 426 differentially expressed miRNA were screened out. Then target prediction were performed for difference up-expression of miRNA and found that there were four obvious increase of miRNA associated with MDR1 multi-resistant genes. Real-time quantitative PCR for 4 microRNA verification, the results were consistent with the chip. So the author considered that salvianolic acid A down lung cancer multidrug resistance gene MDR1 is likely to be affected by the miRNA expression and regulation of target genes, to further clarify the traditional Chinese medicine to reverse multi-drug resistant mechanism provides the experimental basis.
