    Abstract:
    Tyroservatide (YSV) is an active, low-molecular-weight polypeptide that has been shown to have antitumor effects on human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells in vitro and in vivo. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) represents a major obstacle to the success of cancer chemotherapy. To enhance the chemosensitivity of tumor cells, attention has been focused on MDR modulators. In this study, we evaluated the reversal effect of YSV on MDR, and explored its mechanism of action in vitro. Administration of YSV reversed the multi-drug resistance of human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402/5-FU cells significantly. The intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin and Rhodamine-123 (Rh123) were increased, which implied that the function of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump was inhibited by YSV. Moreover, the mRNA and protein expression of multi-drug resistance gene (MDR1) were also decreased by YSV. We observe that lung-resistance protein (LRP) and multi-drug resistance-associated protein (MRP1) each contribute to MDR in BEL-7402/5-FU cells as well. The mRNA and protein expression of LRP were decreased by YSV. No significant change was observed in mRNA expression of MRP1. However, we observe that the MRP1 protein level was reduced after treatment with YSV. These data demonstrate that YSV effectively reverses MDR in BEL-7402/5-FU cells, and that its mechanism of action is associated with the down-regulation of MDR1, MRP1 and LRP expression, as well as the inhibition of P-gp function.
