The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine application, and particularly relates to a medicine for reversing tumor multidrug resistance. The AMPK signal channel serves as an energy sensing center, and the expression mode of the catalytic subunit PRKAA1 / 2 of the AMPK signal channel has dispute in TNBC. Previous researches show that the AMPK activity in primary breast cancer is generally reduced, and clinical data analysis shows that the AMPK expression of a patient with advanced TNBC is increased and is related to poor prognosis. The invention finds that the expression of PRKAA2 in primary TNBC tissue is reduced, but DOX treatment can induce the expression of PRKAA2, and the expression of PRKAA2 is obviously increased in drug-resistant TNBC cells and TBCSCs. Mechanism research shows that the dynamic expression regulation is derived from CTED2 dependent CBP / p300 mediated H3K27 acetylation modification. The result shows that the AMPK signal has space-time specificity in TNBC, and the function of the AMPK signal may depend on the tumor development stage and the cell subtype.
