Effects of repeated treatment with different concentrations of chemotherapy drugs on proliferation and chemo-resistance in human lung cancer cell line / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the variation of tumor cell proteins correlated with cell proliferation and chemo-resis-tance after repeated treatment with chemotherapy drugs.Methods:The human lung cancer cell line(LPET-a-2)was repeat-edly treated with chemotherapy drugs:doxorubicin,etoposide,cisplatin and the combination of the3drugs,and each drug was given at2concentrations.The treatment intervals were recorded.ErbB-2,c-myc,MDR1,MRP,LRP,ref-1and NF-?B were tested by flow cytometry.The cells expressing each protein,the mean and total quantity of each protein after each treat-ment were calculated by different drugs at different concentrations.Results:The levels of every protein decreased along with the time of culture.In high-dose group,every item decreased along with the time of treatment.In low-dose group,there was no rule for the item variation with some decreased and some increased.Conclusion:Low-dose anticancer drugs are easier to induce cell proliferation and chemo-resistance than high-dose one,which suggests that adequate chemotherapy should be given in clinical practice.
