Abstract: The study investigated the effects of Mithramycin A on the expression of MRP1 gene of human lung adenocarcinoma cell A549/DDP. The inhibitory effect of Mithramycin A on the growth of A549/DDP cells was tested by MTT method in vitro. The levels of Sp1/MRP1 were measured by Real time RT-PCR and Western blot. The results showed that Mithramycin A inhibited the growth of A549/DDP cells in a dose-dependent manner.After exposure to 300 nmol/L Mithramycin A for 48 h, the expressions of mRNA and protein of Sp1 and MRP1 were reduced. The results suggested that Mithramycin A depressed the expression of MRP1 gene of human lung adenocarcinoma cell A549/DDP through down-regulation of Sp1 gene.
