Resistance to chemotherapy drugs, such as adriamycin (ADR), is a common problem in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. We hypothesized that the natural compound resveratrol (Res) may reverse AML drug resistance through the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway. We investigated the in vitro effect of Res using human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) and the ADR-resistant cell line (HL-60/ADR) and treated with either Res or ADR + Res. Cellular proliferation inhibition rate, auto-fluorescence intensity of ADR in HL-60/ADR cells and HL-60 cells, mRNA expression of and the drug-resistant gene , and protein expression of PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, Nrf2, and MRP1 were measured. Results showed ADR + Res had a more significant inhibitory effect than ADR alone on HL-60/ADR cells. Auto-fluorescence intensity of ADR in HL-60/ADR cells treated with ADR + Res significantly increased. No difference of the auto-fluorescence intensity of ADR was observed in HL-60 cells treated with ADR and ADR + Res. mRNA expression of and significantly decreased in HL-60/ADR cells treated with both Res and ADR + Res; protein expression of PI3K, p-Akt, Nrf2, and MRP1 significantly decreased in HL-60/ADR cells treated with PI3K inhibitor, Res and ADR + Res. In conclusion, Res reverses the drug resistance of AML HL-60/ADR cells through regulation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway and MRP1 expression.

Background: Drug resistance remains a significant obstacle to Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) successful treatment, often leading to therapeutic failure. Our previous studies demonstrated that Glioma-associated oncogene-1 (GLI1) reduces chemotherapy sensitivity and promotes cell proliferation in AML cells. GANT61, an inhibitor of GLI1, emerges as a promising candidate in AML treatment.

This study aimed to explore the role and molecular mechanism of miR-133 in multidrug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment and prognosis of AML patients. We performed experiments at the cellular level. RT‒qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect gene and protein expression; cell viability was measured with CCK-8 assays; apoptosis was detected via flow cytometry; and a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the binding between miR-133 and CXCL12.

Background: This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of SCN5A overcoming ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through promoting apoptosis.

Research Design And Methods: The tissues derived from AML patients were divided into Sensitive group and Resistance group according to the presence of drug-resistance. Human AML cell line HL-60 and drug-resistant strain HL-60/ADR were divided into HL-60/ADR-vector group, HL-60/ADR-SCN5A group, HL-60-vector group and HL-60-SCN5A group.

Objective: To establish HL-60 cells and adriamycin resistant HL-60 cells (H-60/ADR) in which the expression of homologous box gene 1 () was inhibited, and investigate the effect of inhibiting the expression of on the drug resistance.

Methods: Lentivirus was used to transfect HL-60 and HL-60/ADR cells, and the cell lines stably inhibiting the expression of were screened by puromycin. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation ability of cells in each group, apoptosis kit was used to detect the cell apoptosis, and real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of drug-resistant related genes.

Ceramide levels controlled by the sphingomyelin (SM) cycle have essential roles in cancer cell fate through the regulation of cell proliferation, death, metastasis, and drug resistance. Recent studies suggest that exosomes confer cancer malignancy. However, the relationship between ceramide metabolism and exosome-mediated cancer malignancy is unclear.
