摘要: We show that cisplatin resistance in certain lung cancer cell lines can be reversed through inhibition of mTOR (mammalian Target Rapamycin). These appear to possess high levels phospho-mTOR, phospho-AKT and other growth-related proteins, such as hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase), Cyclin D3 which decrease upon mTOR. Interestingly one resistant line expresses BCL2/BCLxL, treatment with inhibitor (CCI-779) results decreased these anti-apoptotic proteins may contribute increasing apoptosis. Moreover, continuous exposure CCI-779 was found increase the expression multi-drug P-gp1(P-gycoprotein1) efflux pump therefore should taken into consideration when designing clinical trials this compound.
