title: [Relationship of GSTP1 lower expression and multidrug resistance reversing of curcumin on human colon carcinoma cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the proteomic differences among with and without curcumin treatment of vincristine-resistance HCT-8/VCR cells of human colon carcinoma by using mass spectrometry and two-dimensional gel electrophore-sis (2-DE).
  
  
  METHODS
  The total proteins of the both groups were extracted from serum were run in immobilized pH gradient isoelectic focusing (IPG-IEF) at the first dimension.The proteins pots in gels were visualized by silver staining protocol, scanned by using a molecular imager GS-800 calibrated densitometer. The differentially expressed proteins were identified and analyzed by PDQuest 8.0 software. The diferentially displayed protein spots were searched and identifiyed by Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), the interested proteins were further validated by RT-PCR and Western blot.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The 2-DE HCT-8/VCR cells patterns were acquired with clear background, well-resolution and reproduction. And 1 070±96 protein spots were detected in control HCT-8/VCR cells and 1 030±69 in curcumin-treated HCT-8/VCR cells. Twenty-nine differential protein spots were found to be differentially expressed. Glutathione S-transferase pi1 gene (GSTP1), a diferentiaI expression protein was identified which one of these proteins. RT-PCR and Western blotting results showed that the expressions of GSTP1 mRNA (0.49±0.09) and protein (0.29±0.07) in curcumin-treated group were significantly lower than in control group (GSTP1 mRNA 1.19±0.21 and protein 0.70±0.13, both P<0.05), indicating that curcumin down regulated these expressions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The suppression of GSTP1 by curcumin could enhance the vincristine chemosensitivity in HCT-8/VCR. GSTP1 overexpression may be involved in the vincristine -resistance of human colon carcinoma cells.
