Abstract

Objective To investigate the mRNA expression of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) in cervical cancer (CC).Methods The expression of BCRP mRNA was detected by real-time PCR from tissues of 12 normal and 47 cases with CC.Results The expression of BCRP mRNA was 0.59±0.26 in CC and 0.19±0.17 in normal cervical tissues.But it was significantly higher in CC than those in normal tissues (P < 0.05).The expression of BCRP mRNA was not correlated with histological types,tumor differentiation degree and clinical stages (P > 0.05).Conclusion BCRP mRNA over-expresses in CC,wich might play a major role in the intrinsic MDR of CC.Detection of BCRP mRNA expression may the guidance of individualized chemotherapy for patients with CC.
