Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM: To investigate the effects of microcystin LR on the mRNA expression of protein phosphotase 2A subunits of human amniotic (FL) cells and human hepatocyte HL7702 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After treated with 100 nmol/L MCLR for 24 h, the mRNA expression of protein phosphotase 2A subunits of human amniotic cells and human hepatocyte cells was measured by real time PCR. RESULTS: The changes of subunits expression were diverse in human amniotic cells but increased significantly in human hepatocyte cells. CONCLUSION: The special effects of MCLR on HL7702 cells could be account for its hepatotoxicity.

Key words: protein phosphotase 2A, microcystin LR, mRNA, real time PCR
