16.44,respectively;(2)Scratch after 48 h,the migration rate of sensitive cell groups were(30.51±0.88)%,(40.89±0.05)% and(23.17± 1.49)%,and there was significant difference between KB group and blank group(P<0.01);drug-resistant cell groups were(29.83±1.78)%、(28.05±1.05)% 、(17.45±1.82)% and(14.12±0.26)%,compared with KB/ADM control group with significant difference(P<0.01);(3)KB 25mg/L VP-16

sensitive cell groups;Under the premise of control group,the expression of Bcl-2 gene was significantly down regulated,but the expression of the sensitive strains was not statistically significant.Compared with KB/ADM group,the expression of Survivin gene in the VRP group and NC group was decreased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).(3)(1)The relative expression of PTEN gene,the expression level of PTEN in sensitive cell groups were significantly high,and there was no significant difference;in the resistant groups showed an upward trend(P<0.01).The

the difference have no sense of statistics,the resistance groups except the KB/ADM25mg/L VP-16+NC group were increased,the difference is statistically significant(P<0.01),the phosphorylated Akt expressed in drug-resistant group there was no statistically significant difference in turn reduce,sensitive to low dose group had significant difference(P<0.05);mTOR was significantly different in

tumor cell model for experimental study;(2)NC can reverse the effect of KB/ADM on MDR cells,Bax,Bcl-2,Survivin and the apoptosis gene of may be related to the apoptosis of KB/ADM cells induced by NC;(3)the mechanism by which NC reverses KB/ADM MDR may not be mediated by inhibition on PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. |
