Apoptosis Induced by Bcl-2 Antisense Peptide Acid in HL60 Cells

Objective To study the differences and similarities of the antisense drugs with different structures on the biological functions of HL60 cells. Methods Cytotoxic effects were measured by cell viability assay. The expression levels of protein were assayed by immunofluorescence using fluoresce isothiocyanate label. The morphological changes in apoptotic cells were observed. Flow cytometric analysis of DNA fragmentation was also performed. Results Antisense peptide nucleic acid (PNA) targeting the coding region of the Bcl-2 mRNA could effectively inhibit the growth of HL60 cells, down-regulate the synthesis of Bcl-2 protein and induce apoptosis. After HL60 cells were treated with 10 μmol/L Bcl-2 antisense PNA or antisense oligonucleotide for 72 h respectively, apoptotic rates of HL60 cells were 17.80±1.53 and 13.17±1.12, respectively( P <0.05). Conclusion Antisense PNA targeting the coding region of Bcl-2 mRNA may have stronger antisense effects than the antisense oligonucleotides and could induce apoptosis of HL60 cells.

DNA fragmentation in apoptosis

Cleavage of chromosomal DNA into oligonucleosomal size fragments is an integral part of apoptosis. Elegant biochemical work identified the DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) as a major apoptotic endonuclease for DNA fragmentation in vitro. Genetic studies in mice support the importance of DFF in DNA fragmentation and possibly in apoptosis in vivo. Recent work also suggests the existence of additional endonucleases for DNA degradation. Understanding the roles of individual endonucleases in apoptosis, and how they might coordinate to degrade DNA in different tissues during normal development and homeostasis, as well as in various diseased states, will be a major research focus in the near future.

The effect of Survivin antioligonucleotide on the apoptosis of Xuanwei lung adenocarcinoma cell

Objective:The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of Survivin antioligonucleotide on the proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle of Xuanwei lung adenocarcinoma cell XWLC-05.Methods:Specific targeting Survivin ASODN was composed firstly.XWLC-05 would be divided into 4 groups:Group Sham(blank),Group Lip(simple liposome),Group Lip-SODN(transfected sense oligonucleotide) and Group Lip-ASODN(transfected ASODN).All groups had been transfected under the same condition for 48 hours.Then West blotting was used to check the expression of Survivin in cells from different groups and flow cytometer was used to find out the apoptosis rate of cells in different groups.Results:The expression of XWLC-05 Survivin in Group Lip-ASODN decreased obviously and apoptosis rate was significantly higher than that of other groups(P < 0.05).Conclusion:XWLC-05 transfected by Survivin ASODN could down regulate the expression of Survivin and lower expression of Survivin might lead to the apoptosis of XWLC-05 and restrain the proliferation of cancer cells.

The study of miR-15a oligonucleotide inhibiting cell growth and enhancing Ara-C-induced apoptosis in Raji cells

Objective:The aim of the research was to study whether microRNA-15a(miR-15a) oligonucleotide could inhibit cell growth and enhance cytarabine(Ara-C)-induced apoptosis in Raji cells.Methods:Transfecting miR-15a oligonucleotide into Raji cells with LipofectamineTM 2000,and then combined with Ara-C.IC50 value and cell proliferation were detected by CCK8 assay;the expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were evaluated by RT-PCR and indirect immuno-fluorescence.The apoptotic cells were observed by Hoechst Dyeing;AnnexinV/PI double dyeing method was used to detect the cell apoptotic rate by Flow Cytometry(FCM).Results:After Raji cells were transfected with miR-15a oligonucleotide for 48 h,Bcl2 protein expression levels obviously decreased,however,there was no difference in Bcl-2 mRNA levels,as compared with the control group and blank group(P < 0.05).CCK8 assay showed that miR-15a oligonucleotide decreased the cell growth at 24,48 and 72 h,moreover,miR-15a oligonucleotides combined with Ara-C obviously decreased the cell growth than miR-15a group,Ara-C group and scrambled oligonucleotides(SODN) + Ara-C group.Meanwhile,miR-15a oligonucleotides combined with Ara-C significantly decreased IC50 of Ara-C(10.41 μg/mL),which were obviously lower than those of Ara-C group(15.43 μg/mL) and SODN plus Ara-C group(14.92 μg/mL).Plenty of apoptotic cells could be seen with Hoechst dyeing.AnnexinV/PI double dying assays by FCM indicated that the cell apoptotic rates in earlier period and late period of miR-15a + Ara-C group were 20.93% and 25.27%,respectively,which were obviously higher than those of miR-15a group,Ara-C group and SODN plus Ara-C group.Conclusion:miR-15a oligonucleotides can inhibit cell growth and enhance Ara-C-induced apoptosis in Raji cells.

Antisense oligonucleotide to insulin-like growth factorⅡ induces apoptosis in human ovarian cancer AO cellline

The effects of antisense oligonucleotide to insulin-like growth factor 11 (IGFII) to induce apoptosis in human ovarian cancer cells were evaluated. Antiproliferation effects of antisense to IGFII in ovarian cancer AO cells were determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation. Apoptosis of the IGFll antisense-treated cells was quantitated by both nuclear condensation and flow cytometry after cells were stained with propidium iodide. IGFII antisense (4.5μM)treatment of 48 h maximally inhibited proliferation of AO cells. More than 25% of IGFII antisense-treated cells (4.5PM for 24 h) had undergone apoptosis, whereas less than 3% of the cells were apoptotic in either IGFII sense-treatedcells or untreated cells. Antisense oligonucleotide to IGFII significantly inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in human ovarian cancer AO cell. These data suggest that IGFII may be a potential target in treatment of ovarian cancer and antisense oligonucleotide to IGFⅡmay serve as a therapeutic approach.
