Abstract

To explore the reversal effect of mifepristone(MIF) on adriamycin(ADM) resistance in human breast cell line MCF-7/ADM in vitro and in vivo. The transplantable models of MCF-7 cells resisting against adriamycin were established in nude mice by subcutaneous implantation to observe the reversal effect of MIF in vivo. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: a control group(treated with saline water 0.2 mL intraperitoneally and edible oil 0.5 mL orally), an MIF group (treated with mifepristone 30 mg/kg orally and saline water 0.2 mL intraperitoneally), an ADM group (treated with adriamycin 5 mg/kg intraperitoneally and edible oil 0.5 mL orally) and an ADM+MIF group (treated with ADM 5mg/kg intraperitoneally and mifepristone 30 mg/kg orally every 3 days). Tumor changes were investigated after different drug treatments. The reversal effect of 5 micromol/L MIF in vitro on the ADM resistance cell line MCF-7/ADM and non ADM resistance cell line MCF-7 was determined by 4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl (MTT) assay. (1) The inhibitory rate of 5 micromol/L of MIF for both cell lines MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADM was less than 5%, and it had no statistical difference compared with the group that was not treated with MIF(P > 0.05). (2) ADM could inhibit t...Continue Reading
