Effect of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and D-dopachrome tautomerase (DDT) inhibition on vincristine resistance. The human neuroblastoma cell line UKF-NB-3 adapted to 10 ng/mL vincristine (VCR10) was transfected with double-stranded siRNAs (dsRNA) targeting the MIF gene (NM_002415) (A) or the DDT gene (NM_001084392) (B), and corresponding scrambled siRNAs, and exposed to 5 scalar ten-fold concentrations of vincristine (range: 0.01–100 ng/mL). Cell viability was tested by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT) dye reduction assay after 48 h of incubation. The parental UFK-NB-3 cell line was used as control. All experiments were performed in triplicate.
