Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Chemotherapy is one of the main methods of breast cancer treatment, but its efficacy is affected by drug resistance. Interleukin-1 receptor-dependent kinases (IRAKs) are associated with drug resistance in cancer cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the expression of p53, Bax, Bcl-2, and GALANT14 in treatment with Methotrexate and Topotecan alone and in combination with IRAK1/4 inhibitor. BT20, BT549, and MB468 breast cancer cell lines were cultured in a specific culture medium, and the effects of Methotrexate and Topotecan with or without IRAK1/4 inhibition on the expression of P53, Bcl-2, Bax, and GALNT14 genes was evaluated by Real-Time PCR. RT-qPCR results showed that the administration of IRAK1/4 inhibitor increased the expression of p53 in all three cell lines treated with Methotrexate and Topotecan. IRAK1/4 inhibitor increased the efficacy of Methotrexate and Topotecan on p53 gene expression. The expression level of the Bcl2 gene was significantly increased in the MB468 cell line treated with Topotecan and IRAK inhibitor + Methotrexate. In the present study, it was found that the IRAK1/4 inhibitor increased the efficacy of Methotrexate and Topotecan on p53 gene expression, thereby inducing apoptosis.
