ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To confirm the enhancing effect of excision repair cross complementing rodent repair deficiency gene 2 (ERCC2) on alkylating agents resistance.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The authors constructed a pcDNA3-ERCC2 plasmid. The pcDNA3-ERCC2 was transfected into a selected ERCC2 negative human glioma cell line, SKMG-4, using liposome-mediated transfection. After G418 selection, a stable transfected cell line was obtained and tested for cytotoxicity of several alkylating agents.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The stable transfectant was obtained and confirmed by RT-PCR as well as Western blot analysis to be strongly expressing ERCC2 at both mRNA and protein levels. The IC(90) ( micro mol/L) of two alkylating agents, cisplatin and melphalan, increased from 1.0 to 1.75 (75%) and 5.6 to 9.0 (61%), respectively, compared with control cell line.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The present data provided evidences and confirmed the authors' previous results that ERCC2 contributes, at least partially, to alkylating agent resistance in human glioma cell line.</p>
