Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of over expression of caudal related homeodomain transcription 2 (Cdx2) on multi drug resistance of the human gastric cell line SGC7901/DDP.
Methods:The human gastric cell line SGC7901/DDP was divided into the experimental group (cells were infected with Cdx2 recombinated lentiviral vector), the empty vector group (cells were infected with lentiviral vector) and the control group, respectively. The sensitivity of SGC7901/DDP to the chemotherapy agents was detected by the MTT method. The pump out accumulation rates of adriamycin, cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The protein expressions of Cdx2 and multi drug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) were analyzed by Western blot. All data were analyzed using the analysis of variance.

0ResultsThe transfection efficiency was above 90% after transfecting the SGC7901/DDP cells by lentiviral vector for 72 hours. The relative expression of Cdx2 protein in the experimental group was 0.37±0.06, which was significantly higher than 0.12±0.02 of the empty vector group and 0.11 ±0.03 of the control group, with no significant difference between the 3 groups (F=82.37, P<0.05). The IC 50 of SGC7901/DDP to adriamycin, 5 fluorouracil and cisplatin in the experimental group were (1.10± 0.08)mg/L, (4.81±0.12)mg/L and (3.81±0.15)mg/L, which were significantly higher than (0.59±R
00.05)mg/L, (3.71±0.14)mg/L and (2.20±0.15)mg/L of the empty vector group and (0.63±0.04)mg/L, (3.92± 0.15)mg/L and (2.92±0.11)mg/L of the control group (F=158.75, 98.06, 188.78, P<0.05). The pump out accumulation rate of adriamycin in the experimental group was 18.20% ±1.0% of the control group (F=16.29, P< 0.05). The relative protein expression of MDR1 in the experimental group was 1.85±0.18, which was significantly higher than 1.12±0.08 in the empty vector group and 1.02±0.09 of the control group (F=76.22, P<0.05).
Conclusion Over expression of Cdx2 gene could decrease the sensitivity of gastric cell line SGC7901/DDP to chemotherapy agents as well as the intracellular accumulation of the agents, and it can also enhance the multi drug resistance of the gastric cell line SGC7901/DDP.
