CLONING OF ZNRD1 AND EFFECT OF ITS ANTISENSE VECTOR ON ACCUMULATION OF ADRIAMYCIN IN DRUG-RESISTANT GASTRIC CANCER CELLS / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to construct antisense of ZNRD1 encoding gene, and to transfect it into SGC7901/VCR cells, to seek measures to overcome multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells. ZNRD1 cDNA amplified by PCR was confirmed by DNA sequencing, and then inserted into the multiple cloning site of the expressing vector pcDNA3 1 + with molecular cloning technique. The recombinant vector was identified by endonuclease digestion. Antisense recombinant vector was transfected into SGC7901/VCR cells using lipofectamine. Flow cytometric analysis was used to detect adriamycin (ADM) accumulation in SGC7901/VCR cells. The results showed that a fragment was obtained by PCR, and its sequence was consistent with ZNRD1 cDNA reported in the literature. After antisense recombinant vector having been transfected into SGC7901/VCR cell, ADM concentration in such cells was increased. The above results indicated that the antisense vector ZNRD1 could enhance the intracellular accumulation of ADM in SGC7901/VCR cells, which might be of potential treatment value.
