Study on Gallbladder Carcinoma Apoptosis Induced by Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide Targeting survivin

【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the apoptosis of gallbladder carcinoma cell line GBCSD induced by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) targeting survivin. MethodsASODN targeting survivin was transfected into GBCSD cells mediated by lipofectin. Cultured cells were divided into 3 groups: control group,sense oligonucleotide (SODN) group and ASODN group. After transfected for 16 h, the cultured cells were harvested and the following texts were carried out. The expression of survivin mRNA was detected by RTPCR. Flow cytometer were used to detect apoptosis. Morphological changes were observed by electron microscopy. ResultsThe expression of survivin mRNA was decreased 47.83% in ASODN group while apoptosis was increased from (0.50±0.23)% to (26.28±3.91)%. Abnormal morphological changes of cells were observed in ASODN group and apoptosis bodies were found in some gallbladder carcinoma cells. ConclusionThe expression of survivin may be decreased in GBCSD cells after ASODN transfection.ASODN targeting survivin could induce gallbladder carcinoma cells apoptosis effectively.
