Methods: Bcl-2 gene was used as the target gene and five antisense oligodeoxynuleotides were designed to be bound to Bcl-2 mRNA optimal secondary structure regions that were predicted free from intramolecular fold or instability of free energy. The five antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were studied with experimental assay of leukemia cells, including cell grow assay with tropan blue exclusion, expression of Bcl-2 protein detected with immunochemistry and flowcytometry, Bcl-2 mRNA content detected with RT-PCR technique, as well as apoptosis observed and determined with morphonological method, electrophoresis and flowcytometry. Results: The results showed that two of the five antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were effective antisense oligodeoxynucleotides, which were able to inhibit cell growth in leukemia, to decrease the level of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein, to induce apoptosis of leukemia cells significantly. Conclusion: The computational prediction of antisense efficacy is faster than other methods and more efficient, which can potentially speed the development of sequences for both research and clinical applications.展开更多

Methods: Various concentrations of HOXB2 asodn modified by thiophosphate transfected the induction of liposome into HUVECs. MTT and RT-PCR methods were employed to determine the effect of different concentrations of asodn on the endothelial proliferation and the expression level of HOXB2 mRNA. Results: After the transfection of HOXB2 asodn, the endothelial proliferation was inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion. Simultaneously, the expression of HOXB2 mRNA decreased significantly. Conclusions: HOXB2 plays an important role in the proliferation of endothelia.展开更多
