Abstract: | AIM: To reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) of A549/DDP cells with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression vectors. METHODS: Two multidrug resistance-associated protein 1( MRP1 ) gene-specific shRNA expression plasmids pSilencer 2.1-U6 neo-MRP1 were constructed and introduced into A549/DDP cells. MRP1 mRNA was assayed by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. The MRP1 function was determined by rhodamine 123(Rho123) retention and the protein expression of MRP1 was detected by immunofluorescent staining. The viability of A549/DDP cells was evaluated by MTT method. RESULTS: MRP1 shRNA expression plasmids were successfully constructed. The expression of MRP1 at mRNA and protein levels was significantly decreased after sh-MRP1-2.1-1 and sh-MRP1-2.1-2 were transfected into A549/DDP cells. The intracellular accumulation of Rho123 significantly increased from(16.93±0.58)% to (89.02±0.59)% and (82.56±1.37)%. IC50 of cisplatin were decreased from (101.45±0.64) μmol/L to (38.06±0.05) μmol/L and (53.72±0.36) μmol/L. IC50 of 5-fluorouracil were decreased from (263.20±2.00) μmol/L to (98.82±1.16) μmol/L and (141.81±0.49) μmol/L. CONCLUSION: The shRNA expression plasmid pSilencer 2.1-U6 neo-MRP1 can stably and permanently inhibit MRP1 gene. The sensitivity of A549/DDP cells to drug is reversed. |
