Abstract

The effects of YB-1 gene on the expression level of P-glycoprotein and drug resistance of tumor cells were studied in cultured HCT116 colon cancer cells. Transitory transfection of chimeric YB-1/GFP gene rendered HCT116 cells a selective advantage in a medium with vinblastine, which caused translocation of the chimeric protein into cell nuclei. This was paralleled by an increase in the expression of P-glycoprotein (multiple drug resistance protein).
