Abstract
Background
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancy in women with significant mortality rate due to the resistance to chemotherapy drugs. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotropic agent in ovarian cancer treatment. Overexpression of multidrug resistance (MDR) genes, such as ABCB1, in cancer cells after chemotherapy is one of main problems in clinical applications. Here we have compared the efficiency of doxorubicin-loaded (NIPAAM-DMAEMA) Fe3O4 nanocomposite (DOX-NANO) against DOX on ABCB1(MDR1) gene expression in the ovarian cancer cell line.
Materials and methods
The cell viability of SKOV-3 cells were evaluated by MTT assay. Real Time PCR was used to measure the expression level of MDR1. MTT data were normalized in 10 different attribute weighting models, also to reveal the interaction between DOX, ABCB1, and ovarian cancer genes, Pathway Studio Database (Elsevier) was used.
Results
Cell viability of SKOV-3cells was significantly decreased after 24, 48 and 72 hours (P < 0.0001) of either DOX with IC50 22.38, 0.61 and 0.072 µg/ml or DOX-NANO treatment with IC50 11.54, 1.01, 0.0126 µg/ ml respectively. treatment. Notable decrease in the expression of MDR gene, ABCB1, was observed 48 hours after treatment with DOX-NANO (P < 0.0001) with 26 % in the assessed with control group. Meta-analysis showed the concentration of 10 μg/ml variables was the second most significant feature, whereas the concentration of 0.01 μg/ml recognized the lowest weights. Also, LGALS3 is an extra cellular receptor with upregulation in ovarian cancer that interacts with ABCB1.
Conclusion
Our findings highlight the beneficial effects of DOX delivery in ovarian cancer cells by nanocomposite as efficient drug delivery method. DOX-NANO is a promising therapeutic reagent to overcome chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer.
