Objective: To investigate the effects of tetrandrine (Tet) on nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) expression in leukemia cell line K562 and multidrug-resistant K562/A02 cell line.
Methods: The activations of NF-κB in K562 and K562/A02 cells and the effects of 1 μmol/L Tet on NF-κB expression were determined by immunocytochemistry and Western blot assay.
Results: Tet had no effect on NF-κB expression in K562 cells after 6- and 12-hour treatment (P>0.05), and K562/A02 cells displayed higher level of NF-κB protein expression than their parental K562 cells (P<0.01). Tet could significantly down-regulate NF-κB protein expression and nuclear translocation in K562/A02 cells shown by immunocytochemistry and Western blot, and this decrease became more significant after 12-hour treatment than after at 6-hour treatment (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Activation of NF-κB may have relaton to multidrug resistance of K562/A02 cell line. And the inhibition of NF-κB activation by Tet leads to multidrug resistance reversal in K562/A02 cell line.

Key words: leukemia, multidrug resistance, tetrandrine, nuclear factor kappaB
