Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a notable problem in the use of chemotherapy. Therefore, studies aimed at identifying substances capable of overcoming resistance of cancer cells are required. Examples of these compounds are polyphenols, including resveratrol, that exert a range of various biological activities. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the effect of 3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (resveratrol) on the expression of ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1, Annexin A1 (ANXA1) and thioredoxin (TXN) genes, and the proteins encoded by these genes, which are associated with MDR. The experiments were performed in human gastric cancer cell lines EPG85-257RDB (RDB) and EPG85-257RNOV (RNOV), which are resistant to daunorubicin and mitoxantrone, respectively, in addition to EPG85-257P (control), which is sensitive to cytostatic drugs. Cells were treated with 30 or 50 mu M resveratrol for 72 h and changes in the expression levels of the genes were analysed with the use of a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The cellular levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), ANXA1 and TXN were evaluated using immunofluorescence and western blot analysis. Resveratrol in both concentrations has been shown to have a statistically significant influence on expression of the mentioned genes, compared with untreated cells. In RDB cells, resveratrol reduced the expression level of all analyzed genes, compared with untreated cells. Similar results at the protein level were obtained for P-gp and TXN. In turn, in the RNOV cell line, resveratrol reduced TXN expression at mRNA and protein levels, compared with untreated cells. The results of the present study indicate that resveratrol may reduce the resistance of cancer cells by affecting the expression of a number of the genes and proteins associated with MDR.
