| Abstract | Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a challenging issue in the treatment of gastric cancer. Pseudolaric acid B is a new diterpene acid compound isolated from pseudolarix, which has been found to have anti-tumor activities in recent studies. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of pseudolaric acid B in an MDR gastric cancer cell line and elucidate the possible underlying mechanisms of action. SGC7901/ADR, a P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-overexpressing cell line, was used to evaluate the efficacy of pseudolaric acid B against MDR phenotypes. The effects of pseudolaric acid B and chemotherapeutic agents on cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed using the MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Immunocytochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the possible relevant molecules in order to elucidate the underlying mechanism of action. The results showed that pseudolaric acid B inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in SGC7901/ADR cells. A low dose of pseudolaric acid B (0.5 µmol/L) augmented the inhibitory effects of chemotherapeutic agents on proliferation (p < 0.05). The expression of P-gp and cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2) was downregulated with pseudolaric acid B treatment. The present results showed that pseudolaric acid B inhibited cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, circumvented MDR, and increased the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents in vitro by downregulating the expression of P-gp and Cox-2. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
