Objective: To investigate the effect of high mobility group boxl (HMGBI) gene silence on adriamycin (ADM)-induced apoptosis in K562/A02 drug resistance leukemia cells.
Methods: K562/ A02 cells were transient transfected with HMGB1- small interference RNA(siRNA) vector, and the levels of HMGB1 gene differential expression pre-and post-transfection were measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting. 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of ADM on K562/A02 was determined by WST-8 assay. Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. The release of Smac/DIABLO from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm was assayed by Western blotting. Activity of Caspase-3 was assayed with a Caspase Colorimetric Assay Kit.
Results: (1) The HMGB1 expression at mRNA and protein levels in HMGB1 siRNA transfected K562/A02 cells were decreased by 86% and 71% respectively compared with control. (2) Suppression of HMGB1 by siRNA in K562/A02 cells resulted in a reversal of the resistance to ADM, and decreased IC50 from (4.83 +/- 0.08) microg/ml to (1.33 +/- 0.10) microg/ml. 1 microg/ml and 5 microg/ml of ADM treatment increased cell apoptotic rate by 27% and 32% respectively. (3) HMGB1 suppression in K562/A02 cells significantly promoted ADM- induced Smac/DIABLO release from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm, and increased the activities of Caspase-3.
Conclusion: HMGB1 gene silence can enhance sensitivity of K562/A02 cells to ADM and reverse cell resistant to ADM.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-caused multidrug resistance (MDR) is a crucial factor in the cancer chemotherapy failure. Herein, a total of twenty two azo-containing WK-X-34 (WK34, a third generation P-gp inhibitor) derivatives were synthesized as novel P-gp inhibitors. Biological evaluation revealed that compound 7i effectively reversed P-gp-mediated MDR in K562/A02 cells, with a higher reversal fold (RF) value than WK34 (142.

Compound 5p is a 4β-N-substituted podophyllotoxin derivative, which exhibited potent activity toward drug-resistant K562/A02 cells and decreased MDR-1 mRNA expression. Here, we further investigated its detail mechanism and tested its antitumor activity. 5p exerted catalytic inhibition of topoisomerase IIα, and didn't show the inhibitor of topoisomerase I.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) caused by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a main barrier to the success of cancer chemotherapies. In this study, fourteen novel dibenzoazepine-tetrahydroisoquinoline hybrids were prepared as potential P-gp inhibitors to surmount MDR caused by P-gp. Amongst them, 8a displayed the most potent inhibition effect on P-gp, thus effectively reversing P-gp-mediated drug resistance with a reversal fold (RF) value of 93.
