摘要
For reversal of MDR1 gene-dependent multidrug resistance (MDR), two small interfering RNA (siRNA) constructs were designed to inhibit MDR1 expression by RNA interference. SiRNA duplexes were used to treat human pancreatic carcinoma (EPP85-181RDB) and gastric carcinoma (EPG85-257RDB) cells. In both cellular systems, siRNAs could specifically inhibit MDR1 expression up to 91% at the mRNA and protein levels. Resistance against daunorubicin was decreased to 89% (EPP85-181RDB) or 58% (EPG85-257RDB). The data indicate that this approach may be applicable to cancer patients as a specific means to reverse tumors with a P-glycoprotein-dependent MDR phenotype back to a drug-sensitive one.
