〔Abstract〕 Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of liposome curcumol( LC) on cisplatin resistance of human ovarian cancer cells. Methods Ovarian cancer cisplatin resistant cell line SKOV3/DDP was used. Cells were divided into five groups: blank control group,negative control group( containing 12. 5 μg/ml liposome),cisplatin group( 4 μg/ml),LC group( 20 μg/ml),and combined group( cisplatin( 4 μg/ml) + LC( 20 μg/ml).Cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 assay,the content of cisplatin in cells was detected by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry( HPLC-MS),and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The level of P-glycoprotein( P-gp) mRNA was detected by qRT-PCR and the expression of P-gp protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results The cell proliferation ability of the combination group was the lowest while the apoptosis rate was the highest( P<0. 05) among the groups. HPLC-MS showed that the content of cisplatin in combined group was higher than that in cisplatin group( P<0. 05). P-gp mRNA and protein in the combined group were down-regulated( P<0. 05). Conclusion LC can reduce cisplatin resistance of human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/DDP by inhibiting the expression of P-gp.
