Study on antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting survivin inducing apoptosis of K562/A02 cells / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Background and Purpose:Recent studies have shown that survivin is an anti-apoptosis gene,which is involved in carcinogenesis and drug resistance of leukemia.Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide(ASODN) can be used to inhibit the expression of survivin,inducing apoptosis and enhancing the chemosensitivity of leukemic cells.This study was designed to explore the effect of survivin ASODN on the growth,apoptosis,and caspase-3 activity of leukemia cell line K562/A02 with the phenotype of drug resistance.Methods:Survivin ASOND was transfected to K562/A02 cells by liposomal reagent,The rate of inhibition,expression of survivin mRNA,apoptosis,and activity of Caspase-3 were detected by colormetric MTT,RT-PCR,flow cytometry and fluorometer,respectively.Results:Survivin ASODN could inhibite the cell proliferation in a dose and time dependent manner.Compared with controls,expression of survivin mRNA decreased by 36.2%(P
