摘　　要：Objective： Her-2/neu protein overexpression has been demonstrated in lung adenocarcinoma. Its overexpression often indicates a poor prognosis and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. The objectives of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of double-stranded short inhibitory RNAs （siRNA） targeting Her-2/neu oncogene on the drug sensitivity of Her-2/neu-overexpressing lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods： Lung adenocarcinoma cell line calu-3 was transfected with siRNAs formulated LipofectAMINE 2000, and Her-2/neu protein and P-gp were determined by flow cytometry （FCM）. The chemosensitivity of transfected cells to cisplatin （CDDP） was measured by MTT. Cell apoptosis detection kit （Annexin V method） was used to examine the drug induced apoptosis rate. Results： siRNA targeting Her-2/neu greatly reduced the cell surface expression of Her-2/neu protein and had no effect on P-gp. Consequently the inhibitory rate of CDDP in combination with siRNA targeting Her-2/neu was （67.1±2.3）%, while the inhibitory rates were （48.1±3.5）%, （46.3±5.9）% and （50.2±2.9）% in untreated control, empty vector and unrelated siRNA groups, respectively. The FCM results showed that the apoptosis rate of cells treated with CDDP combined with siRNAs-Her-2/neu was elevated when compared with unrelated siRNA group and empty vector group. Conclusion： Sequence specific siRNA targeting Her-2/neu was capable of enhancing the chemosensitivity of calu-3 cell to cisplatin.Objective： Her-2/neu protein overexpression has been demonstrated in lung adenocarcinoma.
