ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the levels of mRNA, protein of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) and caspase 3 in the drug resistance induced by doxorubicin in human gallbladder carcinoma cell line GBC-SD, the effect of ceramide metabolism in this process was examined.METHODS:
Human gallbladder carcinoma cell line GBC-SD was treated by doxorubicin at concentration of 200 ?g/L for 12 weeks (named GBC-SD12). Cytotoxicity, mRNA and protein of GCS were measured on 1st week, 4th week and 12th week by MTT assays, RT-PCR or Western blotting. The levels of caspase 3 were measured by spectrofluorometry.RESULTS:
A 3.8-fold increase in drug resistance to doxorubicin in GBC-SD12 was observed. Up-regulation of GCS mRNA and protein were also detected in GBC-SD12 (P
