Effects of Survivin Antisense RNA on Apoptosis and Reversing Drug Resistance of SGC7901 Cells / 中国普外基础与临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effects of survivin antisense RNA on SGC7901 cell’s apoptosis and chemosensitivity to taxotere, and to investigate its effect on the expression of multi-drug resistance gene-1 (MDR-1). Methods Survivin antisense eukaryotic vector anti-pcDNA3-svv was transfected into SGC7901 cell lines by lipofectamine and positive clones were screened out then. Survivin protein and MDR-1 mRNA were measured by western blot and RT-PCR, respectively. Apoptosis that was induced by anti-pcDNA3-svv was observed by electronic microscope, and the sensitivity of SGC7901 cell to taxotere was examined by MTT. Results The expressions of survivin protein and MDR-1 mRNA in transfected SGC7901 cells both decreased more significantly than that of non-transfected cells (P
