The effect of estrogen and TAM on the mdr-1 mRNA level in MCF-7 cell by RT-PCR
Objective Study the effects of Tamoxifen(TAM) and estrogen(E2) on the mdr-1 mRNA level in MCF -7 cell. Methods RT-PCR was used to observe the variation of mdr-1 mANA level in MCF-7 cell after treatment with TAM and E2 at different time and concentration. Results TAM could decrease the level of mdr-1 mRNA in MCF-7 cell but E2 could not. These results came together with the relationship with the concentration of the drug and the treatment of the given time. Conclusion The drug-resistance of neoplasm cells could be down -regulared by TAM via decreasing the mRNA level in cells
