An experimental study on the establishment of bladder cancer MDR cell line by gene transfection / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a bladder cancer MDR cell line by gene transfection and to lay a foundation for the research of occurrence and reversion mechanisms of MDR. Methods The invasive bladder cancer T24 cells were transfected with mdr1 cDNA by cationic liposome (DOTAP) introduced gene transfection.The adriamycin (ADM) resistant cells were screened as MDR cells,named TADM. The MDR phenotype of TADM was identified by MTT, immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence,flow cytometry,PCR and RT PCR. Results The relative resistant index of TADM was 41.6,mdr1 cDNA being integrated into the genome of T24.As a result,the expression of P gp and mdr1 mRNA in TADM increased. Conclusions The integration of mdr1 cDNA into the T24 cells greatly increases the expression of P gp.TADM cells manifests excellent MDR phenotype.The establishment of MDR cell lines by gene tranfection has the benefits of less time consuming,stronger drug resistivity and more stable.
