This study was purposed to investigate the relationship between activation of nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) and multidrug resistance in K562/AO? cells and its mechanism. Human erythroleukemic cell line K562 and its adriamycin-resistant counterpart K562/AO? cells were used in the study. After inhibiting the activation of NF-?B with noncytotoxic concentration of antioxidant pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) in vitro, the multiple of drug resistance of K562/AO? cells was assessed by MTT assay. RT-PCR and flow cytometry method were used to detect the relative expression of mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp, respectively. The results showed that (1) multidrug resistance of K562/AO? cells to ADM was 59 times higher than that of K562 cells. When being pretreated with 0.2 ?mol/L PDTC which is noncytotoxic to cells, the IC?? of ADM in K562/AO? cells was sharply decreased with relative reverse efficiency of 93.03%, which was more higher than that of classic modifying agents Verapamil (Ver); (2) NF-?B activity of K562/AO? cells was significantly higher than that of K562 cells (p < 0.01). When being treated with PDTC, the activation of NF-?B was sharply decreased in K562/AO? cells; with 0.2 ?mol/L PDTC for 24 hours it decreased to the lowest, nearly to the K562 cell level (p > 0.05); (3) the relative expression of both mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp in K562/AO? cells was more higher; the expressions of mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp both were inhibited in K562/AO? cell group treated with PDTC for 48 hours. It is concluded that the PDTC used as an inhibitor of NF-?B activity can partially reverse the multidrug resistance of K562/AO? cells, which mechanism can be associated with the down-regulation of mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp.
