Drug ID: DB00997 (APRD00185, DB05331, DB05847)
Drug Name: Doxorubicin
Drug Method: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to quantify the expression of miR-132/-212 (miR-132 and miR-212) in doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant and -sensitive breast cancer tumors and cells. The function of miR-132/-212 in drug resistance was investigated in vitro (MTT assay, TUNEL assay, fluorescence, immunohistochemistry, luciferase reporter assay, Western blotting). We found that miR-132/-212 were commonly overexpressed in DOX-resistant breast cancer tumors and cells. Silenced miR-132/-212 expression induced DOX accumulation in MCF-7/ADR cells, while overexpression of miR-132/-212 led to breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)-based DOX efflux in MCF-7 cells. Further study showed that up-regulation of miR-132/-212 in MCF-7/ADR cells suppressed the expression of PTEN, a target gene of miR-132/-212, which activated AKT phosphorylation and the NF-kB pathway and led to increased BCRP expression. Down-regulation of miR-132/-212 sensitized MCF-7/ADR cells to DOX. Mechanistic investigations suggested that miR-132/-212 enhancement was a result of NF-kappaB-mediated transactivation of the pri-miR-132/-212 gene.
