APS upregulated the expression of tumour suppressor genes but reduced the expression of MDR1, and the level of p-AMPK was reduced in adriamycin-resistant gastric cancer SGC-7901/ADR cells.

Notes: Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells were incubated with APS (100 µg/mL) and/or adriamycin (0.1 µg/mL) for 24 h. (A) The expression of FBXW7, SEMA3F, P21WAF1/CIP1, and MDR1 was examined by real-time PCR. (B) and (C) The level of p-AMPK in adriamycin-sensitive gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells, adriamycin-resistant gastric cancer SGC-7901/ADR cells, and human gastric epithelial cells (GES-1). β-Actin was used as a loading control. The relative protein level of p-AMPK was normalized to that of β-actin. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. N = 3–5. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus vehicle; ++p < 0.01, +++p < 0.001 versus GES-1 group; #p < 0.05 versus SGC-7901 group.
