Mechanism of protein kinase C? mediated multidrug resistance in human glioma cell line SHG-44 / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the molecular mechanism by which protein kinase C? mediates multidrug resistance of human glioma cell line SHG-44.Methods SHG-44/ADM was constructed by stepwise concentration increasing method and intermittent administration method.SHG-44/WT and SHG-44/ADM were treated by PKC? reactivator PMA and PKC? inhibitor staurosporine,then the expressions of PKC? and MDR-1 were detected by Western blotting,the PKC? activity was assayed by kinase,and ADM accumulation was determined by fluorescence spectrometry.Results PMA increased PKC? activity and MDR-1 protein expression and activity.Staurosporine was able to block PKC? activity and decrease MDR-1 expression and activity.Conclusion Multidrug resistance in human glioma cells is mediated by PKC? via MDR-1 pathway.
