drug basic information
Drug ID: DB00675 (APRD00123)
Drug Name: Tamoxifen
Drug Method: Transmission electron microscopy analysis and nanoparticle tracking analysis were performed to determine the exosomes difference between MCF-7(TamR) (tamoxifen resistant) and MCF-7(wt) (tamoxifen sensitive) cells. PKH67 fluorescent labeling assay was used to detect exosomes derived from MCF-7(TamR) cells entering into MCF-7(wt) cells. The potential function of exosomes on tamoxifen resistance transmission was analyzed with cell viability, apoptosis,and colony formation. MiRNA microarrays and qPCR were used to detect and compare the miRNAs expression levels in the two cells and exosomes. As the targets of miR-221/222, p27 and ERalpha were analyzed with western blot and qPCR.
Drug Response: resistant
