Effect of CLFF on the expression of chemotherapeutic agent resistance-related genes in SGC-7901 cells. The level of ERCC1, TS, β-tubulin III and tau mRNA expression, followed treatment with CLFF and every chemotherapeutic agent singly at their respective IC40 or in combination for 24 h, was determined in SGC-7901 cells by real-time RT-PCR. a1: cells were treated with 5-fluorouracil alone. a2: cells were treated with oxaliplatin alone. a3: cells were treated with docetaxel alone. b1: cells were treated with CLFF combination with 5-fluorouracil. b2: cells were treated with CLFF combination with oxaliplatin. b3: cells were treated with CLFF combination with docetaxel. Data point, means of at least three independent experiment; bars, SD. versus control cells.
