BACKGROUND: The study was aimed at investigating the role of PD98059 on impairing the cisplatin-resistance of ovarian cancer cells and figuring out the potential mechanism. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Treated with low dose of cisplatin (DDP), DDP-resistant ovarian cancer cells were built and named as SKOV-3/DDP. The cell viabilities of ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 and SKOV-3/DDP were detected using MTT assay. Wound healing assay and flow cytometry were performed to detect the migratory ability and cell cycle variation of the two cells and assess the sensibility to DDP in the two cell lines. However, cotreated with DDP and PD98059, cell viability, migration and cell cycle of SKOV-3/DDP were determined again. The DDP-resistance varied a lot and the potential mechanism was studied via western blot assay. RESULTS: Both treated with DDP, SKOV-3/DDP showed an intense resistance than SKOV-3 including stronger cell viability, larger migration area and less G1/G0 arrest, which confirmed the successfully established DDP-resistant cell line. The phosphorylation of ERK and the activation of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) process contributes to the enhanced resistance. PD98059, a MEK inhibitor, suppresses the ERK pathway and the EMT process of SKOV-3/DDP. Co-treated by DDP and PD98059, cell proliferation and migratory area decreased, meantime more cell were arrested in G0/G1 phase compared to simple treatment of DDP or PD98059. CONCLUSION: PD98059 efficiently impairs the DDP-resistance of ovarian cancer cells via downregulating the ERK pathway and the EMT process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
