Mechanism of the reversal effect of mifepristone on drug resistance of the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa/MMC
“Mechanism of the reversal effect of mifepristone on drug resistance of the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa/MMC”, vol. 13, pp. 1288-1295, 2014.
, We examined the ability of mifepristone to reverse the in vitro drug resistance of human cervical cancer cells resistant to mitomycin-C (HeLa/MMC) cells and investigated the mechanism of this effect. A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was performed to detect the drug resistance of HeLa/MMC cells and the reversed drug resistance in vitro. Expression levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) were measured in HeLa and HeLa/MMC cells.
