The results showed that the transfection rate of oligonucleotide to the HL-60 was about 90 %—95 % and it had no obvious attenuation within 84 h. However, the plasmid transfection rate was only 5 %—25 % and it was decreased significantly within 60 h. It was suggested that the transfection of oligonucleotide with liposomes was better than that of plasmid.展开更多

Twenty-four h after irradiation, the changes in the chk1 protein expression was assayed by Western blot, and the cell cycles and apoptosis rate detected by FCM. The irradiated apoptosis sensitivity was increased by antisense blocking of chk1 gene in HL-60 cell line with the apoptosis rate being 26.31 %, significantly higher than that by the sense blocking （10.34 %, 0. 025〈P〈0.05）. In HL-60 cells transfected with chkl antisense chain, the G2/M phase arrest was attenua：ted and the cells in G2/M phase were accounted for 38.42 %, significantly lower than those of the cells transfected with chkl sense chain （54.64 %, 0. 005〈P〈0.01）. It was concluded that antisense blocking of chk1 gene could increase the apoptosis sensitivity to irradiation.展开更多

Methods: Apoptosis of HL60-n cells was analysed by TdT-mediated X-dUTP nick and end labeling (TUNEL) and DNA electrophoresis. NF-kB activity of HL60-n cells was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results: There was slight activation of NF-kB in HL60-n cells without drug induction. Ara-C at 1 mmol/L significantly enhanced the activation of NF-kB in HL60-n cells. The level of NF-kB activation induced by DXM at 1 mmol/L or VCR at 0.1 mmol/L had no significant difference compared with that of the control group. However, in HL60-n cells pre-treated with 1 mmol/L of DXM or 0.1 mmol/L of VCR, the activation of NF-kB induced by 1 mmol/L of Ara-C was significantly suppressed with inhibition rates of 31.0% and 47.0%, respectively. The apoptosis rates of HL60-n cells induced by 1.0 mmol/L, 10 mmol/L and 100 mmot/L Ara-C were 45.003.16%, 61.883.40% and 77.624.75%, respectively. The apoptotic rates of HL60-n cells induced by DXM at 1 mmol/L or VCR at 0.1 mmol/L were similar to that of the control group. However, either DXM at 1 mmol/L or VCR at 0.l mmol/L could enhance the apoptosis of HL60-n cells induced by Ara-C at 1 mmol/L with rates of 39.1% and 59.2%, respectively. Conclusion: Ara-C can induce apoptosis and activation of NF-kB in HL60-n cells. The mechanism of increased apoptosis of HL60-n cells by DXM or VCR may be related to suppression of NF-kB activation.展开更多

Methods ASODN-1 and ASODN-2 targeting 5′-noncoding region and initial translation region of caspase-3 mRNA were respectively designed, synthesized and introduced into HL-60 cells by means of liposome-mediated transfection followed by 10Gy γ-radiation exposures. TUNEL assay was conducted to investigate the morphologic change and apoptotic percentage of HL-60 cells 18 h later. Immunocytochemical staining and one step RT-PCR were respectively performed to detect the expressions of caspase-3 and it's mRNA. Mismatched oligodeoxynucleotide (MODN) transfected and un-transfected HL-60 cells were taken as control. Results TUNEL assay found that the apoptotic percentages in ASODN-1 and ASODN-2 groups were significantly reduced compared with the control groups (P<0.01) when the final concentration of both ASODNs was ≥3μmol/L. Immunocytochemistry showed that caspase-3 positive cell percentages were reduced but the average gray values increased significantly compared with the control groups (P<0.01). RT-PCR showed expressions of caspase-3 mRNA was decreased after ASODN transfection. Furthermore, ASODN-1 proved more effective in inhibiting HL-60 cell apoptosis than ASODN-2 (P<0.01). Conclusion Caspase-3 mRNA ASODNs can prevent HL-60 cells from apoptosis induced by γ-radiation and reduce expression of caspase-3 and its mRNA. These effects are dose dependent in a certain range.展开更多
