MUC1 mediates chemoresistance via ABCB1. (a and b) HeLa229/shMUC1-B cells were transiently transfected with ABCB1 plasmids (ABCB1) or vector plasmids (vec), then treated with PTX for 48 h. (a) Western blot was used to identify the expression of ABCB1. (b) CCK8 assay was carried out to test the cell viability of the cells. (c) Western blot was used to identify the expression of ABCB1 in HeLa229/TR/shCTL and HeLa229/TR/shABCB1 cell lines with β-actin as loading control. (d) CCK8 was carried out to identify the cell viability of HeLa229/TR/shABCB1 and its control cell line treated with PTX for 48 h. (e and f) CCK8 assays were applied to analyze the proliferation of HeLa229/TR cells treated with PTX (40 nM) combined with verapamil (25 μg/ml) (e) or zosuquidar (0.2 μM) (f) for indicated days. (g and h) CCK8 assays were applied to analyze the proliferation of NCI-H292/TR cells in the treatment of PTX (20 nM) in combination with verapamil (20 μg/ml) (g) or zosuquidar (2 μM) (h) for indicated days. Data are shown of three independent experiments, mean±S.D. (n=3)
