Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the mechanism of heat shock proteins 27 (HSP27) induced bortezomib (BTZ) resistance in multiple myeloma (MM) cell line U266.

Methods

Drug-resistant cell strain U266/BTZ was induced by treatment with increasing concentrations of BTZ, and drug resistance was detected by CCK8 method. The expression of HSP27 in U266 and U266/BTZ cells before and post BTZ treatment was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Hsp27-siRNA was used to interfere with the expression of HSP27 in U266/BTZ cells, and then RT-PCR and Western blot were used to identify the effects of HSP27-siRNA interference on apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress, as well as the expression of cl-Caspase-3, cl-Caspase-8, and cl-Caspase-9.

Results

CCK8 assay showed that U266/BTZ cells had reduced drug resistance to many drugs. BTZ exposure significantly upregulated the expression of HSP27 mRNA and protein in U266 and U266/BTZ cells (P<0.01). Hsp27-siRNA interference significantly down-regulated the expression of HSP27. Hsp27-siRNA interference could enhance the apoptosis of U266/BTZ cells and increase the activation of Caspase-3, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 (P<0.01).

Conclusion

HSP27-mediated MM resistance is caused by inhibition of endoplasmic network stress to reduce myeloma cell apoptosis.
