简介:客观:为了调查抵抗和颠倒的机制,在导致cisplatin的multidrug抵抗ligustrazine和cyclosporinA完成卵巢的癌症房间线3Ao/cDDP。方法:用每周期在30mgcisplatin从临床的化疗计算的相应剂量,我们建立了3Ao/cDDP,3Ao每次在10渭g/ml在常规间隔并且反复暴露了到cisplatin的高级集中24个小时。LRP,MRP,P-gp,GST蟺和TopoII的表情是与FCM检测的份量上。为药抵抗颠倒,没有cytotoxicity,cyclosporinA和ligustrazine在最大的剂量单身地或在联合被管理。抑制率被MTT试金决定。结果:3Ao/cDDP在4.5个月以后被建立,与抵抗因素1.6它类似于临床的抵抗度。MRP和P-gp的低表示层次在3Ao和3Ao/cDDP被发现(P>0.05),并且在3Ao/cDDP的LRP和GST蟺表示层次比在3Ao的那些显著地高(P<0.005andP<0.05,分别地),并且在3Ao/cDDP的TopoII显著地更低对3Ao(P<0.05)。cDDP的抑制率是20.807卤0.015%,加ligustrazine的cDDP27.421卤0.07%(P>0.05对cDDP),加cyclosporinA的cDDP49.635卤0.021%(P<0.01对cDDP),并且加ligustrazine和cyclosporinA的cDDP58.861卤0.014%(P<0.01对cDDP)。结论:3Ao/cDDP,由cisplatin导致了并且由为上皮的卵巢的癌症模仿临床的化疗的特征建立了,是为cisplatinresistanceinvitro的调查的一个理想的模型。在3Ao/cDDP的Cisplatin抵抗能被说明为由更高的LRP,GST蟺和更低的TopoII表示并且没与MRP或P-gp被联系。Ligustrazine没在A能颠倒的cisplatin抵抗,而是cyclosporin上有重要颠倒效果抵抗有效地。
