Effect of inhibiting mdr1 on radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line
Objective:To explore the effect of inhibiting mdr1 by antisense technology on radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line(CNE). Methods:There were four groups in the study:control group
lipofectin group
sense oligodexynucleotides(SODN) group
and antisense oligodexynucleotides(ASODN) group. The expression of mdr1 was detected by RT-PCR. Cellular response to irradiation was evaluated by the colony forming test. Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT)protein expression was determined by immunohistochemical staining. Results:ASODN group could significantly decrease the proliferation rate and downregulate the expression of MGMT of irradiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells(vs lipofectin group or SODN group
P<0.05). Conclusion:mdr1 antisense oligodexynucleotides sensitize the CNE to ionizing irradiation through decreasing the expression of mdr1
which might be related to decreasing the expression of MGMT.
