探讨了肿瘤细胞中survivin的表达对高线性能量转移(LET)射线辐射敏感性的影响.根据Gen Bank提供的survivin序列,合成特异性survivin-siRNA寡核苷酸,转染人肝癌HepG2细胞,抑制survivin的表达.发现siRNA转染后诱导了HepG2细胞G2/M期阻滞,增加了自发性和辐射诱导的细胞凋亡.在高线性能量转移(LET)碳离子辐照后,siRNA转染细胞的克隆存活率明显下降.这些结果表明survivin表达是HepG2细胞产生对高LET射线辐射抗性的关键因素.
The influence of survivin expression on the radiosensitivity of tumor cells to high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation is investigated. Survivin-specific short-interfering RNA (siRNA) oligonucleotides were synthesized based on the survivin sequence provided by GenBank. Human hepatoma HepG2 cells were transfected with survivin-specific siRNA to inhibit its expressions. It was found that the transfection with surviving-specific siRNA increased the levels of G2/M arrest and the apoptotic rates induced by r...
