Optimization of Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide Structure

چکیده
Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides targeted to bcr-ab1 are potential ex vivo purging agents for use with autologous bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We investigated, in a cell-free system, the activity and nuclease resistance of phosphodiester, phosphorothioate, chimeric methylphosphonate/phosphodiester, and chimeric methylphosphonate/phosphorothioate antisense octadecamers directed against either b2a2 or b3a2 bcr-ab1 breakpoint RNAs. Certain chimeric compounds were shown to possess targeted activity broadly equal to the parent phosphodiester or phosphorothioate forms and greater resistance to the nucleases present in cell extracts. Selected chimeric structures were compared with phosphodiester

Synergistic antitumor effect of combined use of adenoviral-mediated p53 gene transfer and antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting clusterin gene in an androgen-independent human prostate cancer model.
Our recent studies showed that antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting antiapoptotic gene, clusterin, enhanced apoptosis induced by conventional therapeutic modalities using several prostate cancer models. In this study, to establish a more effective therapeutic strategy against prostate cancer, we investigated the effect of combined treatment with antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide and ...
متن کاملAntisense mapping of MOR-1 in rats: distinguishing between morphine and morphine-6beta-glucuronide antinociception.
In an effort to correlate the recently cloned MOR-1 receptor with the pharmacological actions of morphine and morphine-6beta-glucuronide (M6G), we have used an antisense paradigm. Rats were injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) with antisense oligodeoxynucleotides on days 1, 3 and 5 and tested for analgesia on day 6 after administration of morphine or M6G i.c.v. or after microinjection of...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of intrathecal oligodeoxynucleotides.
BACKGROUND Intrathecal administration of antisense oligonucleotides is a frequently used technique to alter gene expression for research purposes. However, in the future, antisense oligonucleotides will likely be administered intrathecally to humans for therapeutic purposes. To date, there have been no systematic studies of the pharmacokinetics of intrathecal oligonucleotides. This study was de...
متن کاملLiposome-mediated induction of apoptosis of human hepatoma cells by c-myc antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotide and 5-fluorouracil.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotide and 5-fluorouracil on the expression of c-myc, invasion and proliferation of HEPG-2 liver cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS HEPG-2 cells were treated with lipiosome-mediated c-myc ADSON and 5-fluorouracil. The proliferation inhibition rate and invasion were measured by MTT and invasion a...
متن کاملAntisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeted to Midkine, a heparin-binding growth factor, suppresses tumorigenicity of mouse rectal carcinoma cells.
Midkine (MK), a heparin-binding growth factor, is overexpressed in a wide range of human carcinomas and is believed to contribute to tumorigenesis and tumor progression. To develop an antitumor reagent, we designed a phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide molecule based on the secondary structure of MK mRNA. The antisense MK at the dosage of 5 microM suppressed MK production by CMT-93 ...
