Abstract
Objective: To clone multidrug resistance (MDR) related genes in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Methods: The differentially expressed cDNA fragments between A549 and A549 DDP cells were analyzed by mRNA differential display PCR(DD RT-PCR). The fragments thus obtained were further analyzed by DNA sequencing and Northern blotting. Results: Three differentially expressed cDNA fragments were obtained and confirmed by Northern blot. Sequence analysis revealed that two of them were novel and one was 100% identical with ICE gene. Conclusion: Analyzing differentially expressed fragment between A549 and A549 DDP cells may be helpful for finding new MDR related genes. The drug resistance of A549 DDP cells may be related to the inhibition or down-regulation of ICE gene.
