This study aimed to investigate the effects of knocking down hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) through RNA interference on hypoxia-induced increases in drug resistance in A549/CDDP cells, and to study the underlying mechanisms. A small interfering RNA (siRNA) eukaryotic expression vector targeting HIF-1 alpha was constructed and transfected into A549/CDDP cells treated with hypoxia. The mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1 alpha, multidrug resistance-1 (MDR1), and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemistry. Cell viability following treatment with cisplatin was determined by MTT assay. Hypoxia increased the resistance of A549/CDDP cells to cisplatin and this effect was reversed by the siRNA inhibition of HIF-1 alpha expression. Expression of HIF-1 alpha siRNA also downregulated HIF-1 alpha, MDR1 and MRP mRNA, and protein expression in A549/CDDP cells treated with hypoxia (p
