Abstract:
Objective:To study the effects of JWA (ADPribosylationlike factor 6 interacting protein 5, ARL6IP5) gene on expression and function of Pglycoprotein in tumor cells. Methods: JWAshRNA and controlshRNA plasmids were transfected into human choriocarcinoma cell line JAR and human breast cancer cell line MCF7,and flagJWA and flagcontrol plasmids were transfected into etoposide (VP16)resistant JAR cells (JAR/VP16) by liposomemediated transfection assay. JWA and Pglycoprotein expressions were examined by Western blotting analysis. Intercellular retention of rhodamine 123 (Rh123) was determined by FCM. Results: After JWA expression was downregulated by JWAshRNA transfection, Pglycoprotein expression was increased in JAR and MCF7 cells, and Rh123 retention was decreased. After JWA was overexpressed by flagJWA transfection, Pglycoprotein expression was decreased in JAR /VP16 cells and Rh123 retention was increased. Conclusion: JWA gene can regulate the expression and transportation of Pglycoprotein in tumor cells.
