Methods: Three different antisenseoligodeoxynucleotides were used in this study. Two of them, S--ODN1 (AE6 ) and S--ODN2 (AE7 ), arecomplementary to sequences flanking the start codons of HPV16 E6 and E7 open reading frames,respectively. SODN3 is a nonsense sequence. SiHa cells were treated with various concentrations of oligos. Growth assay and 3HTdR incorporation were used. Results: Both AE6 and AE7 markedly inhibited the proliferation and DNA synthesisof SiHa cells which harbor HPV16 but had little effects on HeLa cells that do not. S--ODN3 had none of theseeffects. Conclusion: Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides can inhibit the proliferation and DNA synthesis of HPV16positive human cervical cancer cells.展开更多

Methods: CTGF antisense oligonucleotides (ASODN) conjugated with isothiocyananate fluorescence was encapsulated by liposome, and then added into the human keloid fibroblasts (HKFs) culture media. The intracellular distribution of CTGF ASODN was observed by fluorescence microscopy in the fixed HKFs. The proliferation of HKFs was measured by MTT test. The collagen synthesis of HKFs was measured by 3H-proline incorporation method. Results: Compared with control group, the CTGF ASODN can inhibit the proliferation and collagen synthesis of the HKFs (P<0.01). Conclusion: CTGF ASODN has anti-fibrotic effects on keloid in vitro, and CTGF play an important role in promoting the fibrosis of keloid.展开更多

Methods: Totally 20 μ1 Hank's liquid containing 1×106 C6 glioma cells was seeded into rat right caudate putaraen in high-flow microinfusion with stereotactic technique. VEGF antisense ODN was simultaneously used with glioma cell. Each rat of the treated group Ⅰ and the treated group Ⅱ was treated with 1 000 μmol/L VEGF antisense ODN. Each rat of the treated group Ⅲ and the treated group Ⅳ was treated with 2 000 μmol/L VEGF antisense ODN. The experimental periods of the treated group Ⅰ , the treated group Ⅲ and the control group Ⅰ were 2 weeks, those of the treated group Ⅱ , the treated group Ⅳ and the control group Ⅱ were 3 weeks. Before sacrifice, MRI was performed on each rat. Tumor magnitude and pathologic examination were detected after samples were dissected. Results: The survival state of all treated rats was better, and that of the control rats was in severe danger. The tumor volumes of the treated group Ⅰ and the treated group Ⅱ were remarkably lessened. Tumor tissue could not be found macroscopically in the brain samples of the treated group Ⅲ and the treated group Ⅳ, but tumor nest could be found with microscopy. Tumors of the treated group I and the treated group Ⅱ had weak expressions of VEGF mRNA and VEGF, while normal brains and the samples of the treated group Ⅲ and the treated group Ⅳ had negative expressions, but tumors of the control groups had strong expressions. Conclusion: VEGF antisense ODN used early in situ can suppress angiogenesis and growth of rat intracranial glioma to retard tumorigenesis.展开更多

Metbods: The 293 cell was trans fectedwith antisense IRAK-2 oligonucleotide (IRAK-2 ODN) followed by stimulating the cell with IL-1 or tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and then the levels of NF-kappa B activation was analyzed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA ). Result: Pre-transfecting with antisense IRAK-2 ODN could remarkably decreasethe levels of NF-kappa B activation stimulated by IL-1 in time- and concentration-dependent manner, it can not attenuate the one stimulated by TNF. Conclusion: The responses of IL-1 and TNF-stimulated NF-kappa B activation to antisense IRAK-2 oligonucleotids were different. IRAK-2 plays a key role in the IL-1 signaling events leading to NF kappa B activation.展开更多
