ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the role of Akt and nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway in the development of chemoresistance in gastric cancer and the relation between Akt and NF-κB.Methods SGC-7901 cells were exposed to chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin and etoposide ) or chemotherapeutic drugs combined with Wortmannin or MG-132.The cell growth was detected using MTT method.The apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells was measured by TUNEL and Annexin V/PI methods.The protein level of NF-κB was analyzed by immunocytochemical staining.Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used to confirm the increased nuclear translocation of NF-κB/P65.chemotherapeutic drugs could obviously inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 cells in time-dose-dependent manner.Pretreatment of SGC-7901 cells with Wortmannin or MG-132 could promote this inhibitory κB in a dose-dependent manner.Wortmannin or MG-132 pretreatment could enhance the apoptosis of NF-κB was found in SGC-7901 cells stimulated with Wortmannin,but no activation of Akt was noted in those treated with MG-132.Conclusions The chemotherapeutic drugs can both induce apoptosis and activate Akt and NF-κB in SGC-7901 cells.The efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs can be increased via inhibiting activation of Akt or NF-κB.
