Anti-sense phosphorothioate oligonucleotides have both specific and non-specific effects on cells containing human papillomavirus type 16.
A range of specific nuclease resistant phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (S-oligos) complementary to mRNA of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16), were tested for their ability to inhibit cell proliferation and to alter the level of HPV-specific mRNA and proteins in CaSki cells, a human cervical carcinoma cell line containing HPV16 DNA. Only certain of the S-oligos to the viral upstream re...
متن کامل2'-O-methyl-modified phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides have reduced non-specific effects in vitro.
Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) have biological activity in treating various forms of cancer. The antisense effects of two types of 20mer ODNs, phosphorothioate-modified ODNs (S-ODNs) and S-ODNs with 12 2'-O-methyl groups (Me-S-ODNs), targeted to sites 109 and 277 of bcl-2 mRNA, were compared. Both types were at least as effective as G3139 (Genta, Inc.) in reducing the level of Bcl-2 pro...
متن کاملSpecific VDAC inhibitors: phosphorothioate oligonucleotides.
VDAC channels are ancient, highly-conserved voltage-gated channels in the mitochondrial outer membrane. They are the pathways by which metabolites travel between the cytosol and mitochondria. They are involved in the apoptotic process and probably other functions as well. The lack of specific inhibitors has hampered research in the past but now phosphorothioate oligonucleotides can serve this f...
متن کاملSpecific Inhibition of the Expression of the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) Protein by Anti-Sense Oligonucleotides
In the present study, using anti-sense oligonucleotides the inhibition of expression of the PML protein hasbeen investigated. The anti-sense oligonucleotides were designed against the translation initiation site ofthe PML gene, and their effects were investigated on cellular growth and DNA synthesis. Incubation of normalhuman fibroblast cells with the anti-sense oligonucleotid...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus Type-Specific Prevalence
Genital Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection appears to be the most common sexually transmitted virus and may be the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) [1]. Prevalence of HPV infection in a population provides a measure of the percentage of individuals in that population that has new, persistent, or recurring HPV infection at a particular time and point. Prevalence represents an imp...
